Hej Hej,
Recently discovered Espresso Romano and thought it was kind of crazy to add a slice of lemon to ones coffee. Then a colleague said he ads a small spoon of honey in his. So now I’ve been thinking about trying both of these, but also had me curios as to what else people add to their coffee? Let me know any twisters that you’ve either heard about or tried.
A mild cigar.
I use honey to sweeten my coffee. Sometimes I’ll add some Butterscotch Schnapps if its a cold winter.
Not as out of the ordinary: butter. I prefer grass fed cow’s butter.
Ah yes, it’s called Bulletproof, if I’m not mistaken. At least the one I tried making I had to first make the coffee, then quickly put it in a mixer with a dash of butter. Surprisingly nice! 🙌
I think Bulletproof coffee goes a step further and adds some kind of oil as well. I’ve seen it made with coconut oil and butter. I’ve never blended it either. When I add butter, a lot of it floats on the top, which adds some changing flavors as you drink off the top.
MCT oil.
Eat some raspberries before drinking coffee. It’ll change the taste in an interesting way.
Good thing raspberries are on sale in my local shop right now 😁
In November/December I add eggnog to my espresso (either steamed or cold) and top it with nutmeg.
I’m going to try the lemon 🍋— thanks!
Honey is definitely my favorite addition to hot, black coffee. A shake of cinnamon or nutmeg is also very good.
Taking inspiration from cocktails? An Expressed orange peel in your coffee will blow your mind. Chocolate, walnut, orange, or some other compatible cocktail bitters will also amp up some coffee.
I’ll add a scoop of coco powder and a dash of cinnamon to my coffee grounds. Gives it a deeper chocolate flavor with a spicy touch. If that’s a bit too much, just a dash of either to your coffee cup would do.
I like my coffee like I like my women, caffeinated, highly caffeinated. And room temperature. But like a room that’s not too hot, not too cold.
I heard some part of Northern Italy they add red wine to their coffee.
Sounds like 4LOCO
Maple syrup 🍁 started one day when we ran out of simple syrup and never went back.
Ohh I actually have some of that I could totally try, even sounds good too! Although, sadly, it’s not actual good authentic Canadian maple syrup :{
Ground long pepper. It’s delicious as fuck.
A 16 oz Dark Roast Drip Coffee, black, and 1-2 shots of Espresso. It’s called a Red Eye, or a Shot In The Dark.
Isn’t that 16oz coffee with 2 shot of coffee?
yo dawg, I heard you like coffee
Ah yeah, coffee with coffee, what not to like?!? ;D
Mmm, a nice cup of cccoooffffffeeeeee.
A splash of Cointreau.
That bit of orange adds complex flavors to good coffee.
buddy of mine rinses out his espresso cup dregs with cognac
Sometimes I’ll add a drop of cognac (Dusse) to a shot of espresso, the smell and flavor is really nice.
I’ll add whiskey, candied sugar and whipped cream to a cup of hot drip coffee. Sugar and whipped cream can be skipped.
Or vodka and kahlua in a double espresso.
What’s candied sugar?
Google could have answered that…but here:
