Looks interesting ~  and was all excited up until the comment about the stuff smelling like limburger in the holland tunnel....   

I wonder if you could substitute no-doze for the instant coffee?

It's a bit too late for me and my dust-gathering darkroom, but I still wonder if decaf works as well as regular instant coffee. French roast vs. Italian roast? Clearly more research is needed.

It seems decaf doesn't work.

Maybe because you run the risk of falling asleep while developing.   :D

Funny, was just playing with this this weekend. Kinda fun actually. Yes, it smells horrible though. Some of results are here (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150254966888449.334010.780573448&type=1) for the curious.

Nah! I don't know any dogs that drink instant coffee. Dektol or fixer maybe, but not coffee.  ;)
