A tip from a baker for vanilla syrup: a lot of the flavor compounds in vanilla denature in heat, so for a more complex flavor, add the vanilla after melting the sugar and removing from heat!

[@MoushumiPardesi-r7u]

Super interesting bit of info!! Adding the instant espresso powder to cold water as well would preserve coffee flavonoids so overall, skipping the hot water bit would be a win!

[@Nathan26002]

That's a good idea too! Coffee flavor intensifies when it's cold. I'm a barista myself and i saw other baristas using cold water first to melt it then a bit of hot water if they want to drink it hot​@MoushumiPardesi-r7u

[@NeoCosmicCrusher]

​@@cassidycarson2505 Yea, vanilla like basil and wine is a delicate ingredient. That's why when I make bolognese in my pressure cooker, I add the wine and after it's been pressure cooked and I add the basil just before serving.

I'm Persian and mom has a homemade spice shop, we have saffron and orange blossom and never knew you can make that amazing syrup with it, tastes very refreshing ... thank you!

[@lkeasbey1]

I like the format, it reminds me of Binging with Babish. It also lets you focus on making while also getting clear commentary on what's happening. You don't get any stumbles or pauses of voiceover while a tricky or involved physical process happens.

[@giveemmadog22]

This would be a fun series for all popular latte flavors. Mocha, caramel, etc!

[@dmckim3174]

Your videos always make me crave a fresh cup of coffee. I really appreciate how you are unintentionally helping me build a little tiny coffee shop in my apartment. ❤

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Love that 🖤

[@Hollis_has_questions]

Me, too! 😊

[@brianrichards9536]

I still can't get over the back splash. 😍

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Can’t tell you how amazed I am that I managed to get that up without any major disasters…

[@GMxTekhe]

That slide was AMAZING.

[@zachary20XX]

we were in very good hands with Voiceover Morgan! i think it worked really well for one with detailed explanations on technique and such

[@ajhkdshkljhkjhfd3545]

love the old voiceover comeback, especially for vids like this :DD

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Glad to hear it! I’m hoping to mix them back into the fold. Won’t ever fully stop talking to camera but I like the idea of having a blend :)

[@what_homework]

4:59 the accuracy and confidence for pouring the hot syrup into the smallest opening does not go unnoticed (and ending the pour without spilling a drop OH)

[@preetamghoshdrums219]

voiceover Morgan is subtle and soothing to listen to; a great video nonetheless!

[@josecintron85]

Use vanilla sugar. I keep a few used vanilla beans (after making crème brûlée or similar) dry them and chuck them in the sugar container. Or if you find very low grade vanilla beans split them and throw them in the sugar container. Voilà after a few days you have vanilla sugar.

Love the format. The beauty of the drinks and the preparation steps really shine though.

[@aquamage10]

If you don't have the energy or fridge space to freeze-distill milk I've found a can of evaporated milk is about 80% comparable. You get the texture of whole milk with about 60% less water content, but the difference is since evaporated milk is heated is has some caramel-y toasted milk notes and isn't as clean a flavor, still works in a pinch though.

[@CaptainLancerCoffee]

I like this! It reminds me a bit of your older videos when you did all voiceover and made the recipe or technique in “silence”, per se. Now it feels like watching a longer reel! I do like the “normal” videos for lack of a better term where you talk to us while creating, speaking for myself it feels like having a visit with a friend while doing a project, but I’m happy to see more videos like this in the future too! 😄

[@AwfullyAverage]

Excited to try making some of these with my own tiny spoons and feeling whimsical to start the morning

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

That’s the vibe we’re aiming for here.

[@RedHeadDo]

Morgan! You ARE the Alton Brown of the cofee world! I appreciate understanding the science and mechanism behind a good cup!

[@bethanywestchannel]

I dont drink coffee but love brewed cacao. I watch you and James Hoffman for tips on drink building/brewing and apply that to cacao grounds as best I can. I love your enthusiasm, matter-of-factness, and detailed explanations. Thank you!

[@cheshkat6321]

Wow. I just made the first one, then saw this video listed. I'm cheap and most of the time when I want a coffee drink, I want it now and without a lit of fussing. So this is my go to coffee drink made at home. On really hot days I make some strong instant espresso over ice then add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

[@SaltySaltySalty.]

My vote is to make the style of video that inspires and makes you the happiest! We will watch them all regardless. I will be trying your best vanilla latte recipe!

[@Ginger_Lily]

Your glassware is so beautiful.

[@elizabethlandis3922]

No joke, just made the vanilla bean-saffron-orange water syrup and it is INCREDIBLE! I had all the ingredients on hand already. Milk is currently in the freezer, but I made the latte with regular milk while we wait and it is outstanding, I love the flavors! I can't wait for the freeze-distilled part, never tried it before! Thanks for your other vid explaining how to do that!

[@stonebear]

I like the bookended format. Slide in, live intro, VO for the assembly steps, and then live outro... it's also gotta be easier for you to do all the cookery VO, you can take as many shots as you want (pun not intentional!) and then take as long as you need to get the VO right... which means a less frustrated Morgan which means a high probability of better content! AND we still get to have slidey!Morgan! (Though pop-up!Morgan isn't bad either... but I just love the look of glee on your face when a slide goes right. :D ) Oh, and I love the beehive backsplash. That just rocks!

[@VerhoevenSimon]

It's really interesting to see the new studio evolve, I love the backsplash!

[@Tinymoezzy]

Your videos always make me happy, I'm in the middle of packing up and all my coffee accessories are packed minus the instant coffee. So thank you for this 😊

[@kuu8225]

I think this commentary style works well for instructional videos like this! it's clear and easy to follow and very visually appealing with the closeups on the drinks when you pour them. the live performance for things like product reviews are more fun/lively/engaging, so maybe that's something to consider? Agreeing with everyone else that Narrator!Morgan has a very soothing voice to listen to.

[@anonsnowman]

i can’t handle caffeine(i’m enough of an insomniac without) but these videos are a work of art

[@rachell452]

I've never been a coffee drinker because I always found it too bitter, but ever since I discovered your channel I've been obsessed with coffee! I followed many of your recipes and I even bought a second hand espresso machine. Thank you for introducing me to the world of coffee!

Hey Morgan, I really enjoyed this format. I loved the building up from simple for days when you’re short on time to complex for those weekends or holidays when you want to lavish a little more attention on yourself or dear ones. Really enjoyable. Thank you.

👍to voice over Morgan. I found it much easier to follow the recipe steps due to the closeups this format allows.

I add a bit of vanilla paste and a teaspoon of sugar to my milk pitcher before I steam my milk, it works really well for a hot espresso version

[@timbech7647]

I don't even drink coffee, but all of your videos makes me want to be a coffee drinker

[@AmyAnnLand]

This is the first espresso video in a long time where I learned so many new things! Omg, I'm so glad I found your channel. I can't wait to try to make my own syrups this way. I've always used extracts, but now I want to try with actual vanilla beans. I've already made my shaken espresso for the day, but I'm thinking of all the wonderful possibilities for tomorrow!

[@linzonn]

Perfect timing, just came home from a sweaty bike ride and a vanilla latte sounds perfect right now 😍

[@viperlt86]

1:36 - “semi-air quotes” - I think you’ve invented a new concept here that is actually pretty helpful, haha.

[@wittynclever]

Just a quick FYI. If you make a 2 to 1 syrup it will be shelf stable indefinitely (just like honey) so you can make larger batches.

[@em-yg4fv]

So 2 parts of sugar, 1 part water?

[@wittynclever]

@@em-yg4fv Correct.

[@Tashaknits]

I love this format! I’m going to try both syrups.

[@user-sk3ng5nq8b]

i like that you included a simple recipe! i dont have the espresso machine, so i usually do pourover black coffee (idk how it's called in english) instead of espresso, but you reminded me that i could try instant coffee as well! because of milk and syrup it's taste is balanced and it tastes like an average latte with normal espresso (i made it right after watching the video)

As a tea drinker or a strictly black iced coffee drinker, I found this incredibly enjoyable amazing work, Morgan! Subscribed!

[@lesliebowles3649]

I just found your channel ( July 2024) and I think this post was so fun and interesting to see the different lattes you made. My go to is a shot of fresh espresso on ice with a spritz of vanilla syrup and cold foamed milk. I will for sure make my own syrup now. My granddaughters regularly come over for a latte - cold or hot. Your clear voice and instruction are a big bonus. Thank you. ❤

[@ravenoftheredsky]

Absolutely love the voiceover videos, and I thought this was a good modernized version. Would be nice to have one or two talking head segments sprinkled in that show your personality or a quirky moment. Always love those

[@Hollis_has_questions]

I was enjoying your presentation and analysis. I have a lot of vanilla pods and want suggestions for what to do with them. But at about 6:35 in, you got my full attention when you spoke the two magic ingredients, saffron and orange blossom. I’m a saffron lover and try to always it in my pantry. And I love having exotic flavors around to occasionally add to whatever sounds interesting. I am a very curious person, and it is apparent predominantly in two places: my pantry and my audio library. I mean, what could be better than knitting while listening to a riveting book and sipping on a fabulous cuppa Joe? (My idea of a riveting book includes science and speculative fiction, science, historical nonfiction, biography, and memoirs.) So while I wait for my coffee station to be set up, I’ll have a way to make your most intriguing coffee drink. Anyway, I AM FASCINATED BY FROZEN MILK! It’s something that I’ve never heard of before. I like the idea, the mouthfeel is what I would always choose. I just bought an inexpensive ($7.99USD) handheld battery-run (Amazon, two AAs) frother for my coffee. However, I don’t have any milk. So I checked at Amazon, and the only products that peaked my curiosity were a can of organic heavy coconut cream, NESCAFÉ Gold Espresso Intense (Instant Coffee, 3.5 oz.), and an empty bottle with a pouring spout. So they’ll be here tomorrow! I’ll have to wait 9+ days to get the frother, but until then I think I can pour the cream into a bottle with a screw top and either whisk, beat, or shake shake shake it up, right? Besides, I’m not doing the frozen thing with canned coconut milk.

loved the format with the intro and conclusion done by Talking Morgan! and the instructional portion done by Voiceover Morgan! It was personable but made it easier to focus on what you were doing during the drink build. Also, I really appreciate you including easier levels of a tasty drink in the same video of the fancy drink because fancy drinks are fun but I'm not putting that much work into my coffee and it's nice to get the more accessible version at the same time without getting weird coffee shame from someone being snobby (to be clear, you are fancy and kind not snobby)

Don’t know if you’ve seen the series, but there is a KZbin channel called @Epicurious out there that does something very similar to this “level” format, but with various common dishes.

Have you tried adding coffee to your syrups ahead of time to make a coffee/flavor mix? Then you can travel with your coffee mixture and top with milk whenever you want a latte. Thinking of prepping some coffee before a week long vacation.
