“..Like taking a big whiff of your morning cuppa Joe with plenty of milk and sugar. Light this baby up so that even when your mug is empty, the scent of that perfect pour will linger all morning long.”
That smell that hits you when you walk into your favorite coffee shop on a cold morning-- this is that, burning on your desk at home.
Walk into a coffee shop at 6 AM when they're still pulling shots and grinding beans. That's this candle.
Double Espresso smells like a latte someone just made—fresh-ground coffee with steamed cream and sugar stirred in. Not black coffee. Not dessert drink with five pumps of syrup. Just coffee the way most people actually drink it. Sweet enough to be approachable, coffee enough to smell real.
It doesn't smell like coffee-flavored air freshener. It smells like the mug sitting on your desk. The kind of scent that makes people think you started a fresh pot even though you didn't.
Light it at your desk and let the first hour do the work.
How to Use: Trim the wick to ¼ inch before the first light. Let the wax melt edge to edge on that first burn — about an hour — to prevent tunneling. Keep individual burns to 1.5 hours maximum and let the candle cool completely before moving it. When roughly ½ inch of wax remains, retire the candle, wash the jar with hot soapy water, and put it to use.

Double Espresso smells like a coffee shop at 6 AM when they're still pulling shots and grinding beans. The scent is built around freshly ground coffee beans softened with cream and sugar — a latte you'd actually drink, not black coffee and not a syrupy dessert beverage. It reads as warm, sweet, and unmistakably coffee, but it's not nauseating or one-note. Customers consistently report that it smells like fresh-brewed coffee rather than the cloying, sweet-and-fake versions most coffee candles deliver. It's the smell of the mug on your desk, not coffee-flavored air freshener.
Real coffee. Most coffee candles fail one of two ways — either they go full dessert (caramel macchiato, pumpkin spice latte, mocha syrup) or they lean on synthetic coffee-air-freshener notes that smell burnt and chemical. Double Espresso skips both. The scent profile is fresh-ground beans with cream and a touch of sugar, the way most people actually drink coffee in the morning. It's sweet enough to be approachable but coffee enough to smell real. People who've burned every coffee candle on the market and come away disappointed tend to like this one.
Double Espresso is intentionally a softer, more atmospheric coffee scent rather than a hit-you-from-three-rooms-away candle. The thinking: real coffee smells warm and inviting from across a kitchen, not aggressive. Customers describe it as fresh and not overpowering — the cold throw is enough that even the unlit jar can perk you up when you walk past, but soft enough that it doesn't compete with food, conversation, or whatever you're actually drinking. If you want the room to smell like fresh coffee in the background, this is calibrated for exactly that.
It's one of our most reliable coffee-themed gifts. The scent is recognizably coffee without being gimmicky or dessert-flavored, which means it lands with people who actually drink coffee daily — baristas, the coffee-snob friend, the coworker who keeps a French press at their desk. Pair it with our Coffee Blossom Honey, a bag of beans, or a nice mug and you've built a complete coffee-lover gift in two minutes. The 6oz jelly jar is small enough to ship easily or fit in a stocking, but the fragrance carries enough to feel like a real present. Strong pick for housewarmings, birthdays for coffee people, and anyone who works from home and starts their day at the espresso machine.
Our 6oz jelly jar candles have about a 30-hour burn time. To get the full 30 hours, keep individual burns to 1.5 hours maximum and trim the cotton wick to ¼ inch before every light. On the first burn, let the wax melt edge to edge — about an hour — to prevent tunneling down the middle. When roughly ½ inch of wax remains in the jar, retire the candle. Always let it cool fully before moving it, and burn on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable.
Three things make the biggest difference. First, trim the cotton wick to ¼ inch before every light — long wicks cause smoke and uneven burning. Second, on your first burn, let the wax pool reach the edges of the jar (about an hour) so the candle doesn't tunnel down the middle. Third, keep individual burns to 1.5 hours maximum and let the candle cool completely before moving it. Burn on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable. Retire the candle when about ½ inch of wax remains.
Yes. Our jelly jar candles are made with 100% American-grown soy wax, a phthalate-free fragrance oil, and a 100% cotton wick. Soy burns cleaner than paraffin — no soot ring on your ceiling, no petrochemicals released into the air. There are no dyes, no synthetic colors, and no phthalates. Every batch is hand-poured in our Owings Mills, Maryland facility and inspected before it ships. Safe to burn in kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, or any room you actually spend time in.
Reuse it. Once the wax is gone, wash the 6oz jelly jar with hot soapy water and put it back to work. It's the right size for sugar, tea bags, paper clips, hair ties, bobby pins, spare buttons, loose change, jewelry, or as a small votive holder for tea lights. Some customers use them as bud vases or tiny salt cellars on the kitchen counter. We're not big on single-use anything, and the jars are too solid to throw out.
