John, I did not understand if you ALREADY are able to make and are actually making the briquettes from coffee husks. Please give more details. We need to know about how much pressure OR if binders are needed OR output-of-heat results OR any other data about use of coffee husks. Also, do you mean briquettes in the "standard" sizes (ala Richard Stanley or ELK) or in the the larger "log-type" fuel units that your machine produces so well? Perhaps someone would volunteer to check on "coffee husks as fuel". I would think that the major coffee producing countries would have looked closely at this issue.
