Amazing video! Just to clarify something: The density of a 1:1 syrup is 1,23g/ml. So 20 ml is about 24,6g of syrup, and since that is a 1:1 syrup, 24,6g is 12,3g of sugar! The oleo from the coffee grinds is amazing!

Beautifully presented video! I loved your message, and will definitely try to make a coffee saccharum syrup this week. Good quality, i couldn't help but feel like the music choice and volume wasn't right for this kind of film though. Good luck on your endeavours here on KZbin Dan!

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Thank you very much, and I appreciate the feedback. If you are making an Espresso Martini with the Saccharum, make sure you check the description for the correct proportions as this recipe requires a slightly sweeter Saccharum. Enjoy!

[@hk1053]

Does 1:5 saline means eg. 1 g salt and 5 g water or 1 ml salt and 5 ml water?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I use scales to make a larger batch for accuracy. I do 10g salt to 50g boiling water then dissolve and decant into a dripper bottle.

Not yet in an Espresso Martini, but I love Pisco and suspect it would be immense paired with the right coffee!

[@bvrbvs]

Does the ice size make a difference here? I understand big cubes recommended

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

The size is one variable, for sure. You want to balance texture and dilution here and bigger cubes which are well frozen (not melting) allow you enough time to get the foamy texture without overdiluting.

@@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails Really appreciate it.

[@Alex-fi9vb]

How much ice do you add before shaking?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Enough to pretty much fill the bigger half of the shaker. Make sure it’s nice and dry and hasn’t started melting to avoid over-dilution 👌

[@jas_bataille]

How would you do the Amaretto in hot cup? My dad told me it was a thing in Paris back in the 70's. You'd ordered an espresso and one shot of Amaretto, drink the coffee first then pour un the amaretto immediately and savour. This needs to me made into a cocktail if it hadn't been the case already!

[@danielgreenfield9901]

Do you need to allow the espresso to cool?! Just wondering if warm espresso would begin to melt the ice

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

The frozen spirits do a good job of countering the hot espresso, and using good ice that hasn’t started to melt should get you into the 20-30% dilution zone 👌

[@louisec8583]

I’m never able to get much froth. How long do you shake it?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

We should be able to fix this. The three keys here are: 1) Use high quality, freshly roasted and freshly ground coffee, ideally brewed fresh or at least the same day 2) Shake the drink very hard, ideally in a Boston shaker (which is bigger than a three piece shaker and has more headroom), for around 10-15 seconds 3) Use ice that hasn’t melted If these steps are followed, the texture should be nice and foamy! Hopefully this helps!

[@locknload9590]

Amazing video I don’t understand your 1 to 1 ratio sugar of saccharum syrup though.. is it not a 3 part mixture ? Sugar, coffee waste and filtered coffee ? So a 20mL will lead to a 6.66g of sugar ? Sorry for my english, i’m a simple french guy watching english content to make my life harder 😅

[@EverymanPondering]

Should I go ahead and get a slayer to make this properly? Please say yes..

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

YES YES YES! (In all seriousness, I can help if you want to chat about it!)

[@PhaTs00p]

What about using some gomme syrup to add to the creamy mouthfeel?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Sure thing, that would work really well! The main driver of texture in my experience is a good, hard shake with ice that hasn't melted, but this would intensify it even further.

[@JonYounghusband]

Can i ask a question? I can’t get a good micro foam on my espresso martinis. It ends up with larger bubbles. What Can i do to improve? Thanks for this great content.

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Of course! There are a few variables here that will help, but I’d say the most critical are: 1. Using ice which is still nice and dry and hasn’t started to melt 2. Using a shaker with plenty of headroom (e.g. a Boston shaker) 3. Using great coffee which hasn’t been open for too long I hope this helps!

[@nickfield8314]

How about that mix but then use a milk frothier and add a creamy topper like a cappuccino

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

That works really well, just make sure you chill it really well and add ~25% of the drink weight in water to allow for some dilution.

[@TheJourneyForTomorrow]

Have you tried substituting the COFFEE SACCHARUM for (sakes of the conversation) 0.50 oz. of Mr. Black?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I have. Different coffee liqueurs have varying levels of sweetness so often need a touch of sugar syrup to balance out. I did a fair amount of research into this that is in the two videos below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF6pqqKMmt-SgsU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXPVXn2NaMdjgM0

Awesome Video. Very informative and easy to follow. Making some Coffee Saccharaum currently after watching this. In the description of this video it states 200 grams of Filter coffee but in the Coffee Saccharaum video it states 400 grams? Is it just a typo on here?

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Thank you! That's a great spot, I should have mentioned I the video that I omitted the spirits and extra filter coffee in the Coffee Saccharum to make it more of a syrup than a coffee liqueur substitute, so the recipe in the description is there to address that. I hope you enjoy the drink!

[@Lord_Frosty]

@@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails Awesome. So if I want more of a syrup I just add 200 ml of coffee and no spirit? Think that's what I'm going to try first :)

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

@@Lord_Frosty That’s the one! You can always add more filter and spirits later if you want to sip it on its own.

[@jrbc911]

Great video! Question: What ratio would you use when making the strong filter coffee? Assuming that the standard one is 60grams/liter. Really don’t want to use instant espresso… Thanks! 👍

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

Ideally as strong as possible while maintaining a good extraction. The best substitutes for me would be a Wacaco Picopresso or Aeropress, both of which can get to pretty much espresso strength while maintaining high enough extractions.

[@BBB_025]

I am very curious if you have used Kokuto sugar (used in Kokuto Shochu) from Okinawa and what your thoughts on that are

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I have used Kuro Sato in the past from Okinawa. I'm not sure if it is the same but I love it! I used it in one of my winning drinks for World Coffee in Good Spirits 2018, a Japanese Old Fashioned called Kyushiki. I'll make a video about it in the future.

[@BBB_025]

@@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails I have been googling around and it looks like it probably is the same or something very close and may just be different islands calling it different things (Okinawa vs. Amami island). I asked the English language experts Christopher Pellegrini and Stephen Lyman and will report back what they say. They have also talked about a very popular (highball?) drink made by adding awamori (Okinawan spirit distilled from rice and black Koji) to filter coffee. I think it would be very cool if you experimented with that in your Kokuto video and maybe could do things like Kokuto whip cream, Kokuto syrup, etc…

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

@@BBB_025 I am definitely going to look into this. Thanks for the recommendation!

OMG this was good. My best espresso martini to date. It was not clear, long shot of espresso or a double shot of espresso.

Dan, you mention wanting 10g of sugar per serving, which can be made using 20mL of a 1:1 sugar syrup. Do you mean 20g of a 1:1 sugar syrup, because 10g of sugar into 10g of water results in about 13.5mL.

So I don't mean to be a stickler but in the description section here, you said 1:1:1 ratio of coffee puck, sugar, and brewed coffee for the coffee sacrum. But I also watched the coffee sacrum video and it seems like you used double the quantity of brewed coffee. Does that make a big difference ? Having said that, great video btw. I currently have got my coffee pucks and Suger mingling together as we speak 🙂

[@craigmeikle5463]

the units here are horrenous. why would you give half the recipe in ml and half in grams

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

I wish it were simpler (e.g. 1ml of espresso weighing 1g), but unfortunately a lot of ingredients don’t directly convert. I aim to give measure in grams where I recommend weighing on scales, and ml where using a jigger for speed / convenience will suffice. Hope this helps!

[@Sevbi]

I always thought it's vodka and Kahlua

[@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails]

That can work for sure, just make sure you use quality vodka (I especially like potato or wheat based) and allow for the sugar content of the Kahlua when you add your sweetener to avoid over-sweetening.
