The problem had plagued Bartosh, 61, ever since the birth of her first child 41 years ago but had grown noticeably worse in the past decade.

Enter the Java Log. Made from used coffee grounds, it boasts a higher heat density than real wood, so it can burn hotter and last longer. When TIME compared the Java Log to a Duraflame (a log made of sawdust and wax), the Java Log ignited more quickly and produced taller, prettier flames. But does it make your house smell like a Starbucks store...
