[@CSaffitz]

What’s your coffee order?

[@leonhardeuler675]

Frappe. Could you do a gluten free playlist for those of us who love Claire but can't do flour pwease?

[@missmaurie1]

Decaf anything that’s not too sweet. But always decaf.

[@jadebrown9717]

I'd rather make mine at home! French pressed coffee with date syrup and heavy whipping cream makes the morning better ❤

[@ArgentAbendAzure]

In the summer, cold coffee with cream.

[@juliabishop1408]

Coffee cake.

[@rachelee8801]

Love the mini Claire and Harris sitcom in the middle.

[@PeaceRose96]

me too i'm obsessed

[@claudia.e]

Clare calling Harris in dispair when something goes wrong is SO relatable. Though I am sure he is equipped to help her in this case.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Must be crazy being Harris, being the one who's consulted for help by one of the greatest pastry chefs in the world.

[@syntacticalcrab]

It really gave me flashbacks to the test kitchen xD

[@rhettdownen6873]

Claire making mistakes and being open to suggestions are two of my million favorite things about her. What a great human / chef.

[@tbc543]

Can we suggest she employs a stylist..

[@nicolaminto9306]

If I can give you some advice as an Italian, I recommend that you first prepare a syrup of water and sugar to which you add the coffee. When summer comes, I often make a granita that should be creamy, velvety and soft. If you want to follow this advice, dissolve 200g of sugar and a pinch of salt in 500ml of water and boil for eight minutes, then add 500ml of coffee and let it cool. When it is cold, pour it into a container and leave it in the freezer for 7-8 hours, during this time for the perfect success of the granita, break the ice crystals three times as soon as you see them. You can use a fork, but use the immersion mixer which allows you to obtain a creamy mixture. I'm sorry for my english 🥲

[@kookykiddo]

Great advice! And your English is like perfect, lol, don’t apologize. ♥️

[@TheBLGL]

She made a simple syrup and explained why she didn’t use simple syrup with water and used coffee instead.

[@TheHollywoodCrone]

Your English is perfect~. I can neither speak nor write Italian!

[@lemonadeslices]

this is perfect, and your english is great - thank you for this version of your recipe!

[@taylornarder6331]

She explains in her video why she chooses not to use this method :)

[@TheDailySchist]

given that claire has declared her enjoyment of coffee so many times already i wonder if maybe down the line we can get people in the specialty coffee space like Morgan Eckroth (aka MorganDrinksCoffee) or even James Hoffmann on a Dessert People episode

[@naomigeraldinesitumorang5067]

I know I'm on the right community when the comment section mentions creators I followed

[@vonitacruz798]

Yess

[@misscutenar2333]

Oh that would be so great!!

[@topochicopapi9049]

🤯

[@jimmyrrpage]

You say "or". ¿por qué no los dos?

[@amyfallon5132]

I really appreciate when people include these parts in their videos where something goes wrong. Sometimes your ingredients/tools/whatever work against you, and you just have to make it work or start that part over. We've all been there, but it's comforting to know that even professionals deal with it and it's helpful to see what they do.

[@tatatory]

Claire, I think this started to approximate my enjoyment of gourmet makes in large part because there was a failure. I find it calming to watch you cope with challenges with your trademark humor and ingenuity, and I find it less enjoyable to see everything go perfectly. 😂 😘

[@lorelig]

Same! So much of creativity is rolling with the mistakes, I love to see it!

[@Wolf-E-Romeo]

I feel like at some point in gourmet makes, things were intentionally going wrong for her though and that was less enjoyable. There's a fine line between watching her work through problems and gaining insight on how to fix it, vs, just watching her struggle because we are sadistic.

[@kristenwakefiej3137]

You just SAVED me. I'm 35 weeks pregnant suffering with pica for ice (I broke a tooth, it's been really bad) and I knew this dessert existed but I couldn't for the life of me remember it was called granita. Now I can safely satisfy my craving THANK YOU ❤️

[@lemonharrigan2180]

Congratulations

[@lemonharrigan2180]

Omg not because of your pica ! Congratulations on your pregnancy I’m sorry you’re dealing with pica

[@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica6]

I remember when I was a kid watching Giada De Laurent’s make this and couldn’t remember for the life of me what she called it. I’ve been looking for this recipe off and on for 15 years 🤣🤣🤣

[@mariacarvell6208]

every time claire makes a mistake in the kitchen I only love her more

[@bsu9715]

the "MMM" editing and the verdict being an "ooo" instead of an "MMM" has me in TEARS

[@michellecorriveau6979]

Did anyone else notice Harris working through the window at like 11:32 it just made me giggle

[@JAKESEOUL31tv]

As an Italian in love this recipe!!! My go to flavour is mint and lemon granita … mixed together … or cola flavour when I was younger … but in Milan you get it for a snack like instead of gelato you get a granita … basically the slurpies at the gas station in usa

[@petronellataube2986]

sounds amazing

[@snailcreme9372]

the verdict being ooo! instead of mmm made my day

[@LukePonds]

The way I laughed out loud when the verdict was "ooo!" instead of the usual "mmm"

[@superlatifabsolu]

Sometimes I pretend Claire is in my family

[@xyzpdq1122]

“Extended family” doesn’t have a great definition. So…

[@earthlingsdeliciousfoodlab]

❤

[@donotworried]

For anyone conflicted between micro metals and micro plastics, might I suggest borosilicate glass. Should be safe and no micro-glass I think. 😅

[@CL-vx9dr]

Wow I was already planning on making granita this weekend. This is a sign from the universe.

[@MsShellectable]

I love watching Claire make just about anything, and to discover a shared love of all things coffee and all things fruit based only heightens the delight. Mmmm, that granita!

[@billyharney1676]

I literally could watch Claire all day. I really wish I could think like see does. She is so logical but brings some much of herself to the process. The honesty and transparency about what she is thinking and her anxities is awesome.

[@tati.l.]

so here for coffee desserts (it's not like I drink enough to give an elephant the shakes on a daily basis)-

[@makeinc.2346]

Claire’s verdicts are the highlight of every episode for me.

[@SoffyChannel]

Batch of Honor for dear Harris for being so sweet and encouraging!

[@boste001]

If both Claire and Chef John make this within a week this must be good! Making this ASAP.

[@SrJohnnyCat]

Chef John from Food Wishes also released a recipe for coffee granita. Great minds think alike. 💅🏻

[@damagedgoods143]

i be watching claire’s vids religiously as if i’m gonna make her recipes 💀

[@CSaffitz]

Time to make one!

[@jeannemarie6747]

I watched this when Claire posted last month & loved the “ooooo!” Today I wanted to see her delight again, but noticed that she seemed teary after the first whipped cream mishap, and every time she mentioned the cream. I feel so protective of Claire, and empathetic because I’ve cried when frustrated, more than when sad. I want to just say thank you, Claire, for all your work. Don’t forget to rest, you are a perfectionist and put a lot of pressure on yourself. I’m again glad to see you enjoy the treat at the end. This time, I’m relieved to see her laugh. Be good to yourself, Claire ~ we love you!

[@nutritionalyeast704]

coffee granita having a big moment

[@AlexandraAndStuff]

I don't like coffee and I will never make this, but I still watched the whole thing because Claire

[@MRSECONDBEST]

Ahhh my thursday hit of seratonin.

[@rggiii5089]

I'm so Psyched for this recipe. I also love coffee desserts so much that I think I've made the Coffee Coffee Cake the most (Maybe 2nd to Poppy Seed Almond Cake). My sister always request it and we have it for breakfast. Now we have something to cool our hot summer afternoon. I hope there's more coffee dessert recipes in the next book.

[@eriklulilian]

Great episode! I also enjoyed watching Harris do yard work in the background at the end 😂

[@craigwack4773]

Love the addition of the clock on the oven. Even with the curveball, Claire was able to knock the video out in less than an hour.

[@graybroadbent8510]

Why is seeing Claire in despair so entertaining to me? It’s like a callback to Gourmet Makes

[@margheritapipitone655]

Favorite summer dessert, sending very much love from Sicily

[@beckietharp9974]

I love that you show that making a mistake in the kitchen is ok…and fixable! No matter your skill level, every dish, every day is a learning curve! Love this!

[@tracekerr7097]

I have always admired how you show the challenges that can happen in the kitchen. 🧡

[@yupperzsonson]

Why have I never heard of this before and what other magnificent coffee related dishes and desserts is the world hiding from me? Thank you for showing me the truth, Claire!

[@hannahcollins1816]

The "Mmm" captions slay me every time. Switched up the "verdict" though! Curveball!

[@Rodviet]

I love your new kitchen Claire! It looks wonderful

[@lisaanderson135]

Coffee crystals… more precious than gold 💎 Yet another reason to be able to have coffee morning, noon and night 🤤 Hey Claire, my fridge does the same thing. I have to be careful what I put near the back. The past 2 times I bought local heavy whipping cream it was super lumpy and looked curdled. It wasn’t expired or have that sour smell and I wasn’t sure if I should use it. We ended up using it and it worked perfectly! This recipe will be a hit in my household ❤️

[@kaistevens7668]

THANK YOU for including very accurate closed captioning! I am deaf in one ear and this helps so much!!

[@denduo3680]

this is indeed the greatest episode

[@patience6064]

Claire I love the coffee it looks refreshing

[@AnotherPerspectiveToday]

This sounds amazing! I'm going to add it to my next brunch and use a glass container.

[@jaredrazack1396]

Love the idea of adding mascarpone, gotta try now!

[@TheAbabudoiu]

Omg summers in Sicily with pistachio granita and brioche 😍 also a great one is the granita made with gelsi! Love that

[@ololadealaran8686]

Love to watch this always ❤️

[@marcomenghini327]

Usually in Sicily there is a little ponpon on top of the brioche and I remember ripping it being my favourite part when I was a kid

[@sigridsimmen]

I just came home from a trrip to Italy 2 days ago, parts of which was in Sicily, and I kept thinking to myself I needed to find a recipe on how to make granita as now I'm slightly addicted. Thank you Claire!!!

[@torbenlaux1697]

Love that the ads playing throughout the video are "quit coffee" or "coffee is a drug" XD

[@flamingbagofcrap5156]

Loved the adaptation to the recipe near the 3rd act.

[@luciamelicce9298]

I wasn't expecting that Ooo! on the veredict, glad to see things change up a bit

[@susannee.5521]

Cannot wait to make this. Speaking of coffee desserts, I would love a Claire Saffitz British coffee walnut cake recipe. I get coffee walnut cake anytime I go to the UK and it's so damn delicious.

[@nurseslectureforum4187]

Love coffee ☕

[@oluwabukolaashaye4982]

Looks yummy

[@mykat7088]

you know this has to be claire's optimal dessert, her verdict was "mmm" so many times but initial was "ooo!" 😂

[@felixrousseaug]

looks delicious!

[@livebearerdad]

the cutest chef couple 🥺

[@isabella7921]

can't wait to make this!

[@roxanneturpin620]

Half Sour and Vinchenzo are the best!

[@doupi8367]

I love coffee too

[@hannahmaeponce9259]

coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee.......

[@isabella7921]

just made it and added the sugar into the hot brewed coffee to dissolve instead of the extra step to make the coffee sugar syrup.. look forward to a lovely dessert with my bf.

[@akusfan1]

This episode of Dessert Person almost became an episode of Gourmet Makes.

[@Issor_Rossi]

Very simple dessert

[@olorunlanamuhydeen2245]

Amazing 🤩

[@nnamdichima7246]

Amazing

[@thompsonemmanuel6804]

[@laurenschenck5355]

Yay!! SO EXCITED! 😀

[@Hey_Damj]

Your comeback from the marscapone/creme fraiche debacle was perfect. I love seeing that recipes have options and what can be used instead.

[@harrismayer-selinger204]

So delicious

[@kevoranger]

she said "Ooo!" and i SCREAMED

[@OneOlive1]

Cal, your chickens look great!

[@mindsketches]

Would love to see a kitchen tour of the new kitchen. e.g. is that a pot filler above the stove? Thanks :)

[@melissaweyrick5311]

Note to self, watch videos after breakfast.

[@saige5057]

I know what I want for breakfast tomorrow

[@mathewcharlas2633]

Sweet

[@peter_parkour]

The happy little accident with the first batch of cream mix was for me because I can’t really eat mascarpone. Love crème fraîche though. Will try this on the weekend. Thanks, Chef!

[@bethwalker355]

Hey gorgeous Claire, hoping you are alright! Yummy looking and sounding recipe. Yes, coffee certainly is a gift if the God's - along with chocolate of course!!!!

[@blessingilogu6529]

Great

[@karenb8200]

Great video!

[@CSaffitz]

Thanks Karen!

[@luc2128]

Claire and chef John proving that great minds think alike 😬

[@dimoolia]

Unexpected verdict, but I'll take it.

[@josephinemartin]

We got a ooo! It must be good!

[@bayodeadenike3099]

Nice

[@kizzer20052]

Claire is so beautiful

[@Viniter]

So many Mmms and even a Ooo!

[@noahsmith5719]

This is one of those, “I’m going to go make this immediately” recipes.

[@jolly0792]

I really really want to see your version of Mango truffle

[@laurenschenck5355]

Looks so delicious 🤤 you are so amazing blessing angel

[@razi4690]

what color is that stand mixer behind claire? just in awe and so jealous of it!

[@jmlxvr]

Verdict: OOOH!!!

[@twocvbloke]

On the Microplastics vs. Micrometals question, go for the metals, cos some of them your body needs and can use, others your body can flush out, whereas microplastics, they're a PITA to get rid of and are not beneficial in any way, and are appearing in food we eat every day whether they've been wrapped or stored in plastic or not... :(
