⚠️ Risk

During the combustion of the candle, the coffee beans incorporated in the candle caught fire, with a flame particularly powerful (reached a height of approximately 10-12cm), resulting in the candle cut in half and wax overflowing at the sides. Judging from the flame intensity, it is likely that burns may be caused in individuals that have not realised that the candle is being destroyed. Under certain conditions, a fire can be generated in closed spaces, due to the powerful flame.
