Affogato

In this video I give a step by step process of how to make an Italian desert called Affogato. Simply put, its espresso over ice cream, and its delicious!

Root beer Espresso

This recipe I Stole from Doug at Because Coffee. It combines 2 shots of espresso with 1 booze o root beer. This tasted pretty good, but I feel like it would be better if the root beer was warm and the coffee was hot, and then add 1 scoop of ice cream to make a coffee root beer float. 

I

I did not make any coffee today. However, I have spent my evening researching Kopi Luwak. 

I’m definitely going to be making this coffee hopefully in December, but I am unsure if it will be before or after my final presentation. I personally will not want to make my first cup myself, I’d rather have someone more experienced than I at doing it. 

Who knows.. I may just surprise somebody with the rarest most expensive coffee in the world this Christmas. 

  I didn’t drink coffee all weekend. I’m kinda sad about it.

Coconut Carmel Latte

This is the most recent Latte I’ve experimented with. This latte had a cream of 2/3 milk 1/3 coconut milk w/ salted Carmel. I’m going to experiment with more creams in the future. 

1st Latte

This was my first attempt at making a latte. It turned out amazing, but I have been experimenting with it these past couple days and I feel like I can make it even better. In this you can see that instead of using a steam wand for the milk, I simply boiled it and then whipped it in a French press. This turned out to be a good method, and once I use whole milk rather then 1%, it will be better. I can’t do any real latte art, but I asked someone who can to do some for me, and this method works with it if you can do it.

1st Frappuccino Attempt

This was my first attempt at my peppermint mocha frap for my project. This surprisingly turned out absolutely delicious and exceeded my expectations. However, I could easily make it better by using my mocha pot to make my espresso, as well as using more ice and using my xanthan gum simple syrup to make it more like a frap, rather than a gas station icee. I made this coffee step by step in the video with audio instructions if you want to try to make this at home. I will make an updated version of this soon, so stay tuned.
