I made a mango kombucha following the Noma books recipe and found it underwhelming and left it for a few months only to discover that it made a fantastic vinegar. Thanks for your excellent content
Did it only once. It was one of the best types of kombucha that I made... Have to do it again. I usually make kombucha with forrest fruits: blackcurrants, blueberries and the sort.
Cool idea and good video! Just a note here, while it's a good idea to add the pellicle to the brew, I'd say it's also necessary to add some starter kombucha to the brew, not optional. The liquid is what contains the majority of the bacteria culture needed for fermentation. And if you happen to let the brew ferment for too long such that it becomes a bit too acidic for your taste, do not throw it away and start again - the acidic brew makes an excellent starter for your next batch!
I’m making this today. I’m changing the ratios a bit. I use two cups of starter per gallon with regular kombucha, so I am using 1 cup for a half gallon. I’m using one cup of sugar. I’m also upping the initial coffee. When I brew coffee I always use a ratio: grams of water x .04 = the grams of coffee needed to brew. So what I end up with for this is: 8 cups of water 75 grams of coffee 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of starter One scoby mat
I’ve been thinking of making my own Chai and bought a bunch of slices. Maybe it could be a chaibucha? Hahahaha. For the second fermentation I could add my Cardamom pod, whole clove, black peppercorn, star anise, fennel seed, and a cinnamon stick to the second fermentation.
This seems like something I really need to try. I’ve got a SCOBY right now too so it won’t be too hard. Coffee is a close second to beer for me. And kombucha is up there too!
Then sounds like this might be something you would like. I think non-kombucha drinkers might not be a fan but if you like that flavor it’s a good combo!
@@TheBruSho could you do this with raw coffee grounds? It tends to be a greenish yellowish lighter color like tea when you run it through a coffee maker. You should try it.
Personally I think this should be called "Kombuhi". The 'cha' at the end of kombucha comes from the Japanese word for tea(ocha), since this is coffee based the name should reflect that by adopting the last syllable of the Japanese word for coffee(kohi).
This sounds awesome!! I will have to try to find this somewhere. I'm a huge black coffee addict, I'll drink around 32oz per day so I bet I would enjoy this. Cheers Trent, this was a great video!
Love kombucha, love coffee....I need to get on this! Could be a new favorite (after coffee stouts and Espresso Martinis of course....). Great vid as always 👌
Hey,Trent! Have you ever tried making a second fermentation with Star fruit? It is my favorite flavour by far! Obs: That on the traditional kombucha, of course
@@TheBruSho The flavor is sweet and sour, but with its characteristic taste. Pretty difficult to describe it. It is an interesting fruit, for some people, it can be toxic due to a substance present in its composition, mostly people with kidney disease aren't allowed to eat it. So google it for more info before tasting! Hahah
I collect my coffee grounds each morning in a mason jar and by the end of the week I have a full jar of 1/3 grounds and 2/3 liquid which Ive noticed bubbles and fizzes. I'm wondering if its undergoing a fermentation process similiar to kombucha and if it is is it drinkable? Any thoughts?
I used to make tea kombucha...could I use the scoby from the tea kombucha to make coffee kombucha? or I have to buy a new scoby? because I have lots of tea kombucha scoby...😊
Great share! I have made Kombucha before and I always felt that I could not taste the Kombucha tea but I could taste the added flavor of the 2f fruit/juice that I added, would this be the same with Koffucha?
The scoby eats the sugar and caffeine. I make this at home and I'm caffeine sensitive. When the fermentation is done the kombucha should have little to no caffeine left. I drink this whenever and never feel buzzed at all.
Why don't you only use the right amount of sugar for a wanted level of acidity in your F1 ? This way you could let the fermentation go to the end. Then you can add more sugar in the bottle for sweetness
what do you think of using used coffee grounds and now that I think about it could you can do the same thing but t bag do you think the scoby is reacting with the caffeine
That's really good information! I thought Kombucha was only for fruits, but what do you mean coffee? It's a great recipe for me who likes coffee. I'll give it a try. Thank you.☺️☺️☺️
could I do a 1/2 gallon cold brew with 200g of coffee then make a sugar water to add to the coffee when cold brew is done? would this mess it up do you think? trying to make a 2 gallon batch as I LOVE koffucha
I'll definitely give this a try as I love both drinks. Quick question though : Ave you experienced regular kombucha fermenting with coffee beans? Should this work if we had a little sugar? Thanks for your recipe 😊
@@TheBruSho I'm gonna have to try it on one bottle but not sure out it will end as no sugar in coffee grain. I'll bottle my next batch tomorrow night I guess so I'll give it a try but with added cane sugar in it in order to make it less acidic.
Yeah, as mentioned it helps to slowly transition it to accept the coffee instead of tea but thats exactly what I did, I started from a regular Kombucha SCOBY
I am making Koffucha for the 1st time( made kombucha many years ago but still had scobys in the fridge. the Koffucha isnt fermenting as fast as i thought it would. its been over a week and still not a strong vinegar tast. do you think its my 5 yr old scoby's that have been in the scoby hotel???
Could be the old SCOBY slow to get going. But just give it time and check back in every now and then. Hopefully it gets going but it should do better with each batch
Why are you using the waste product and not more of the actual kombucha? And 5:31 sounds incorrect. You could probably still use it as a starter for another try of coffee kombucha.
What's with all the coffee lately? Lol, I have a coffee mead going - will be bottled soon. But now all I see is coffee everywhere! Twitter, TikTok, UA-cam - everywhere!
Ill just use instant coffee boil water put sugar let it cool put in container put in bottle with scoby like how i make regular kombucha🤣😅 ill give this a try.
This channel needs to get picked up more. Big booch is holding u down🤪🤪 question.. are used beer bottles fermentation grade? Some craft brew have nice 500ml flip tops bottles
Say what... I can't pronounce it rather than brew it. Grow on you? Is that literal or figurative? 😉 way to keep the channel interesting Trent. I prefer whiskey over Java...so.... Far far to much sugar for this old man but does look wonderful. Great vid my man. Let's do Sauerkraut beer....mmmmm cabbage🤣🤣🤣
Have you had Coffee Kombucha before? What are some other unique kombucha flavors you've tried?
Passionfruit is my current go-to ‘bucha
@@BrewBrosUK Sounds bomb!!
@@BrewBrosUK do you use juice or the fruit? How much?

How was it?
How was it?
Blending with a non fermented brew is a good way to dial back overly acidic kombucha. Very well done video!
Great tip thanks!
Lemonade Kombucha an interesting combination cause it was ginger juice and lemonade flavor
I’ve been thinking of making my own Chai and bought a bunch of slices. Maybe it could be a chaibucha? Hahahaha. For the second fermentation I could add my Cardamom pod, whole clove, black peppercorn, star anise, fennel seed, and a cinnamon stick to the second fermentation.
Cinnamon and chilli pepper with ginger bug pretty cool
Yum, two of my favorite drinks combined! 😋
Fusion drinks all day!

@@NorthlandDWJ oh wow I hadn’t thought of that, sounds like it could potentially be really good. Thanks for the reco!
😀Uf estará riquísimo!!!!!! Que sueles añadirle a la segunda fermentación?
gracias
Nicely done, thanks! In the words of….. “I’ll be back!!!!” To watch more!
Thanks for sharing , ❤

KombuFee, KombuCoff

Oh yeah you gotta give it a try! Thanks Steve!
Love kombucha, love coffee....I need to get on this! Could be a new favorite (after coffee stouts and Espresso Martinis of course....). Great vid as always 👌
Wow I think if you drink all three in a row you win a prize... a caffeine crash hangover! 😂Thanks!
Definitely going to try it
Matebucha is gonna be the next level
Can't wait to try this!
I can't wait to try it, my favorite so far is blackberry
Oooh yum I gotta try that
I have made it with Ice Wine Tea It was amazing. I also loved my Chia version.
Wow I never thought to put chia in the coffee kombucha, I’ve only done it in regular kombucha, thanks!
Never tried kombucha but I will defiantly be trying this.
Sweet! Let me know what you think!

would it work with instant coffee? I'm off to try.🎉
OMG the cutest puppy ever!! Does anyone know what breed it is?
She's a pomeranian! Just turned 13 recently
What other uses have you tried with the strong scoby hotel tea? Can it be used to start vegetable and fruit ferments?
Got to try it 👍
Great share! I have made Kombucha before and I always felt that I could not taste the Kombucha tea but I could taste the added flavor of the 2f fruit/juice that I added, would this be the same with Koffucha?
Very Coffee -y video , cheers Trent 🤙🏼
Haha java java java
Can we do Junbucha coffe?
I was just thinking this morning if coffee could be use.
Does the caffeine stay in? I was under the impression that the fermentation ate the caffeine.

That's really good information!

could I do a 1/2 gallon cold brew with 200g of coffee then make a sugar water to add to the coffee when cold brew is done? would this mess it up do you think? trying to make a 2 gallon batch as I LOVE koffucha
So weird question but.. would you add cream to the end product?? Kinda like an Italian cream soda?
Awesome you’ve peaked my interest, I’m gonna try it thank you Trent🍻
Awesome to hear it Bradley! Good luck!
Nice. Video! A lot of work seen to be put into it.
Thank you for noticing!
If the Coffee scoby is saved for later, say for a kambucha, does its add a Coffee flavor taint to it?
I'll definitely give this a try as I love both drinks. Quick question though : Ave you experienced regular kombucha fermenting with coffee beans? Should this work if we had a little sugar? Thanks for your recipe 😊
I haven't tried that but sounds super interesting, I would love to hear if you have any luck trying that.

Thank you for sharing. Can i use the SCOBY and starter liquid from tea kombucha? My SCOBY hotel is full, I would like to try koffucha. Thanks again.
Yeah, as mentioned it helps to slowly transition it to accept the coffee instead of tea but thats exactly what I did, I started from a regular Kombucha SCOBY
@@TheBruSho thank you. I started a coffee kombucha today. Hope it works out ok.
Can you try a cola kombucha for those trying to give up pop?
If you put vanilla and brown sugar into regular kombucha it tastes like cream soda....look at pinterest
Nice break dancing 😂😂 I’ll be trying this one out for sure as our scoby is super big
Haha thanks! And yeah give it a shot if you got a lot to work with!

Green Koffucha also possible ?
Could this be done with a Jun scoby??
Can you do a tutorial on koffucha scoby hotel?
I'll add it to the list!
How to make scoby? OR where you get it?
Hows the taste?? Does it taste like coke?
Marijbucha - speccial edition for California state 😂
Was that a dance challenge in front of the microwave? 🤗
Why are you using the waste product and not more of the actual kombucha?
And 5:31 sounds incorrect. You could probably still use it as a starter for another try of coffee kombucha.
How much exactly starter liquid did you use please?
I usually use 2 cups starter liquid for any new kombucha batch
It should be 1 cup for 1/2 gallon, 2 cups for a gallon.
What's with all the coffee lately? Lol, I have a coffee mead going - will be bottled soon. But now all I see is coffee everywhere! Twitter, TikTok, UA-cam - everywhere!
Haha it’s a viral sensation!!
@@TheBruSho For sure! Lol, I'll trade you a bottle of my coffee mead for a bottle of the coffee kombucha!
Ill just use instant coffee boil water put sugar let it cool put in container put in bottle with scoby like how i make regular kombucha🤣😅 ill give this a try.
That’s a very easy way to do it. Great thinking!
I've tried this twice, but I put the coffee in the second ferment, and it tasted AWFUL both times. Very sad, as I love both coffee and kombucha lol.
I’m going to try to make a “hard coffucha” ..??
Milk in the liquid, doesn't make it like yogurt?🤔
No it kind of calms the sourness
Could I brew my coffee through my espresso machine?
I don’t see why not!
You can brew black tea alone with sugar and get a scoby
How long should we put in room temp?
Sugar and caffeine, that's what the scoby needs, therefore your results.
This channel needs to get picked up more. Big booch is holding u down🤪🤪 question.. are used beer bottles fermentation grade? Some craft brew have nice 500ml flip tops bottles
Lol maybe that’s what it is! And yeah I use those flip top bottles all the time with booch!
I thought kombucha feeds off both sugar and caffeine
That's possible, I'm not entirely sure but would make sense
I make great kombucha but this is nothing that I liked! I’ll watch and see if yours is the same!
Say what... I can't pronounce it rather than brew it. Grow on you? Is that literal or figurative? 😉 way to keep the channel interesting Trent. I prefer whiskey over Java...so.... Far far to much sugar for this old man but does look wonderful. Great vid my man. Let's do Sauerkraut beer....mmmmm cabbage🤣🤣🤣
Haha I won’t count it out quite yet! Thanks Curt
I thought kombucha fed
Caffeebucha
Kombuchee!
Why are there so many names for this? Lol
Haha great question let’s pick one!
If you spoke a little bit clearer you would have more viewers
Lol thanks I bought a new mic
Nah you're just a nitwit
LAST!
Never last in my ❤️
Lost me at nuking. No way
Haha nuking is not required just helps speed up the dissolving on sugar. Can totally skip the microwave
The microwave........!!!!.....well .....this eas bad!!!!
Very bad!!!!😥
You don’t have to use a microwave but it sure is easy
FIRST!
Damn you beat me to it!
that scoby shit is fucking nasty
