Coffee Paintings...Believe It or Not?



Sunshine Plata is a Filipino artist who uses coffee grounds instead of paint. While looking for a cheaper alternative to oil paints, she came across a 19th Century signature rendered in coffee at a Ripley's...Believe It or Not! Museum.


She became inspired and began to paint her own coffee art. She enjoys the unique aroma and eco-friendly nature of the "paint" and is able to control the gradations of color using different proportions of grounds and water.

Inspired? Need your caffeine fix? Order Boca Java Gourmet Coffee.

This may be attributed to coffee's ability to lower insulin levels.
