**Brilliant eco-friendly firelighters!**
I absolutely love the Espresso Fire Lighters from Blue Planet Recycling! They’re made from used coffee grounds, which means less waste and no nasty chemicals like paraffin — just pure, sustainable genius. They light easily, burn beautifully, and are surprisingly cost-effective too. It feels great knowing I’m helping the planet every time I start a fire. Highly recommended! 🔥♻️☕.

Highly recommended!
I used BluePlanet Espresso Firelighters on a recent bush trip through Botswana and Zimbabwe — and they were absolutely brilliant.🔥 Compact, clean, and incredibly reliable — they lit first time, every time, even in damp early-morning conditions. No smell, no mess, just quick, consistent flames that made campfire cooking effortless. And they also keep mozzies and flies away when burned in an ashtray / blikkie. Perfect for overlanders, campers, and anyone who values simplicity and performance in the wild. I won’t head out without them again.

The ultimate eco-friendly firelighters!
No more smelly contamination in your grocery bags or on your hands!
No more poisonous fumes when you braai.
Easy to light, burns long enough to get a great fire going.
Bonus feature- a useful gift already ‘wrapped’
Rolf in Steenberg. Cape Town
I was very impressed with the espresso fire lighters I acquired, the great packaging was what caught my eye and on using was relieved to not see the usual black smoke! Worked well, will certainly be back for more!!

Espresso Fire lighters.
No more smelly fingers! We all grew up around the fire for the regular braai. The distinctive smell and feel of the “famous” firelighter is now a thing of the past. Espresso fire lighters do exactly what it says on the packaging. Clean, environmentally friendly and effective. One of these little packages is good enough to get any fire going. I won’t be going anywhere else. Buy local and buy clean. I was sold from day one. Clean, long burning and no fuels or toxic smells and transfer onto my hands. Fantastic product and definitely one to stay. 🇿🇦🔥

Espresso Firelighters are very impressive. They turn used coffee grinds into flames. Clean burn, zero guilt. My kind of fire lighters. 👆

Espresso Fire lighters are a great new eco friendly, long lasting, clean burning alternative to traditional petroleum based lighters. No more toxic fumes in your fireplace or braai area, just the pleasant scent of coffee.
