    Real quick (because I can sense the questions): The double shot that I pulled for the chocolate bar hack thingie is a 50ish gram shot. That’s pretty large but it’s a great parameter for the particular coffee I’m using. Also, I stopped it a wee bit late just to fully melt the chocolate.
    In case y’all were wondering why it didn’t look like a super tight and crema-heavy shot! You’ll just have to trust me that it tasted nice 😈
    Okay okay now I’ll leave.
    Bye!

      When I want to add chocolate to my coffee or espresso, I typically use just one piece of the chocolate bar, and I put it in the bottom of the cup (if adding it before the coffee... otherwise i just put it into the already poured coffee) and then stir it. I don't see where having it sit on the rim during the brew is adding anything besides a potential mess, and the fact that to put it on the rim during brew, makes you add more chocolate than it really needs, in which case you might as well just make a hot chocolate.
      When my daughter was very young, she wanted to do her Mamma a favor and make her a hot chocolate... she knew hot chocolate was made with milk... so she put milk in the coffee maker and attempted to heat it up. Yeah... we had to buy a new one.

    I like cinnamon in my coffee. My grandma always made café de olla - coffee brewed in a pan with piloncllo (Mexican brown sugar cone), or just brown sugar, a cinnamon stick or two, and half a bar of Mexican chocolate. Sometimes she put a couple cloves in hers also. You boil coffee, then let it steep around 5 or six minutes. You can strain it, but my grandma usually didn't. Then used a touch of milk or cream sometimes as well.

    Ideas for each hack. (Just because coming up with them was fun)
    1. Puree that avocado, and mix some honey in as you do. Add some hot fluid (milk or coffee) first and give it a stir. I'm imagining a process like turning a roux into a sauce. Consider mixing the entire thing first, then adding the ice. It won't give the gradient color effect, but it might make a smoother drink.
    2. Maybe test a bunch of different foaming soap dispensers to see which ones foam the most. If that's still not enough, add a binding agent to the milk, like guar gum. Mix thoroughly before adding to dispenser.
    3. If it needs milk, add milk. Treat this as the base of a mocha and add milk as usual.
    4. That's fine. You can also add the cinnamon in solid stick form to your carafe if you're not getting enough cinnamon out of it. Tie a string to it so that it's easy to remove when you're done. You can also add this to an emersion brew, like a Clever or a French Press, just remove from the French Press before/if you press.
    5. You might try to cold brew in milk. Remember that milk is more acidic than water, so that might effect the brew time. I'm actually really interested in what would happen if you cold-brewed in whipping cream... and then whipped it.

      I noticed _just_ ripe avocados that were still picked at the right time and, therefore, still hold their water content taste like that. If that's the case, you need to introduce heat to it, and it "ripens". I usually make cheese, avocado and tomato toasties if this is the case. "Wet grass" avocado is common during its off season or from produce picked the month in the lead up to and of the season, as the avocados are picked too early and then can't ripen much once picked. Damn, I know too much about avocados.

    as someone who works in chocolate store/cafe i knew the chocolate espresso wouldnt work because 1) the bar you used has fat substitutes that affect the melting point of the chocolate (you may have a better chance with a bar that only has cocoa butter) and 2) you need the milk to emulsify everything otherwise the chocolate will not want to mix.

      What's the fat substitute? Hershey's milk chocolate label lists ingredients as "sugar, milk, chocolate, cocoa butter, lactose, milk fat, soy lecithin, PGPR, emulsifier, vanillin, artificial flavor" which isn't exactly high end but isn't palm oil either...
      I'd be curious if a different bar shape might work better. Ghirardelli Squares have a nice lip around the perimeter of the square that might corral the espresso a bit better than a bar with multiple small pillows or frames. Or you could potentially hack the hack by melting/carving a divot at the initial pour point--or underneath if you wanted to preserve the aesthetic, or slightly warm the bar to provide a head start...

    I love using cinnamon, clove, and star anise in coffee, and the way I've found works best for me is to add powdered spices to the coffee in my Aeropress. Since the coffee and water mingle together much longer than a drip machine or pour-over, and the water is forced through the "puck" of coffee, it has a much more pronounced fragrance and flavor. I also like to occasionally add lemon or orange zest, and that's also delicious.

    Brewing coffee in milk is actually one of my favorite things to make and drink but in its cold form. The trick to it is to brew in a French press. Keep the higher heat of about 150 so it can start extracting more like water and let steep for up to 20 minutes before depressing the plunger and pouring into your refrigeration vessel(I often use a mason jar). Add any sweeteners if desired while it's still warm and let completely cool in the refrigerator. It doesn't get bitter if using a medium to dark roast and tastes very good with any chocolate based breakfast items including over certain cereals.

    I’m wondering if we can improve the milk brew without heat. Add milk and coffee to a press and leave it in the fridge overnight? Could that work? No heat, no water, long extraction time. I would love to see you try this

    • @LoganBriggs

    • @sarahknight1906
      @sarahknight1906 2 роки тому +7

      It works! My husband and I did it once a month last summer. It does need grounds that are larger in size then the pre-ground from the store. I do a coarse grind and sift out the fine stuff before using it in the press. I use the fine stuff left over for my machine coffee. It keeps the milk from getting muddy at the bottom.

      I also wonder if you could do it with boiling milk in the French press... You know bringing the milk just to a boil and then letting the ground coffee sit in it for a few minutes. This shouldn't make the milk tast bitter, though I don't know if that was the problem with the pour over..

  • @annamolly1261
    @annamolly1261 2 роки тому +1

    3 hacks:
    1 add tea to the coffee grounds then brew. It can give the effect of having a flavored creamer; syrup without the sweetness. My ratio is a guestimate 1 tsp tea to 1 Tbsp coffee grounds. Seasonal dark teas tend to work the best. Plus it round out and elongated the caffeine up take.
    2 as an alternative to milk, you can add oats (quick) to the grounds, or add oat groats and grind with the coffee. Not the best hack, but better than using milk.
    3 stovetop roasted oat groats make for a decent decaf experience. Aim for a medium color (~10-12 mins) over med heat. Non Teflon pan, stir, whisk continuous, allow to cool on a evenly spread out on a cookie sheet (~30 min)

    ok! that cursed milk brew type of life hack reminded me something my aunt used to do, which actually introduced me to the ground coffee thing, that was the way i tried it for the first time in my life. she would put a teaspoon of coffee in a cup (just general not small not big cup), fill it with milk approx 2/3, and microwave it for about 40-50 seconds, she'd look through the glass to control the microwave and stop it right as it tries to escape the cup, then she'd just drink. the ground coffee sinks well so she never used any filters. and as a 8yo kid i actually really liked it. i'd usually sweeten it a bit with sugar. slightly cursed, but a lot of memories and warm vibes for me

    The milk-in-the-soap-dispenser hack reminds me of these canned latte creamers they sold for a while (which, I admit, I really liked). Basically it was an aerated dispenser similar to that, and you just shook the crap outta the creamer and then pumped your foam on top. It was tasty, the foam was pretty good considering the complete lack of effort I had to put into it, and overall made a satisfying latte-esque drink.
    But would I attempt to recreate this product by means of a soap dispenser? Uh.... no, I'll pass, thanks 😂

    1. My inclination for the avocado one is to liquefy the avocado--perhaps with a small stick blender if you're only making 1 drink, and maybe in a blender or food processer otherwise. Of course you're going to get unappetizing chunks of avocado if you just lightly mash it; you'll get more creaminess and thickening if you grind it.
    2. I think the soap dispenser would work better if it were a foaming soap dispenser (designed to foam the kind of liquid soap which is designed to be foamed) and the milk were warm. But I would be terrified that I'm not rinsing it well enough.
    5. Would a cold brew with rather coarse coffee work?
