AB  - The effect of spent coffee grounds (SCG), brewer's spent grains (BSG) and their 
      mixtures with the addition of brewer's yeast (BY) were tested in two rearing 
      densities of the Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia illucens (L.). Different treatments 
      were investigated on larval development, survival, yield, protein conversion 
      (PrCR) and bioconversion rate (BCR), substrate mass reduction and body 
      composition of the insect. BSF larvae were able to develop sufficiently in all 
      diets, except on sole SCG. The addition of BY enhanced the performance properties 
      of diets, especially in the case of SCG, where larvae underperformed. Substrate 
      mass reduction, PrCR and BCR were affected only by feed and exhibited higher 
      values on reference feed, followed by BSG and SCG+BSG enriched with BY. Density 
      did not have a significant effect on various larval nutrients, except for fat, 
      which was higher on larvae fed enriched feeds with BY and in the 300 larval 
      density. The interaction between feed and density strongly affected the nitrogen 
      and protein levels, larval yield and ash. Generally, diets which contained SCG 
      exhibited high larval crude protein levels. Our results illustrate that low value 
      beverage by-products can be successfully utilized as constituents of a successful 
      BSF diet.
