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.
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 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.
Isn’t the deal with salt in coffee that a tiny amount per cup (like three grains of table salt) will cut the bitterness of crappy coffee, but that’s about it?
From the link:
Salt and Coffee: Not only does salt cut the bitterness of coffee, but it also smooths out the “stale” taste of tank-stored water. I’ve taken to adding a quarter teaspoon of kosher salt to every 6 tablespoons of grounds. That isn’t really enough to taste, but it’ll do the trick. And by the way, research has proven that salt is actually better at neutralizing bitterness than sugar.
Ground long pepper. It’s delicious as fuck.
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!
