Overall a delicious experiment that I'm almost certainly never going to repeat because it was an absolute pain to make 😅

I made this and quite enjoyed it, though it's not as bitter as I expect in an amaro. Next time I'll likely increase the quantity of and/or experiment with additional bittering agents. I put together a cocktail with it in the same vein as a negroni or boulevardier: 1 oz bourbon (Old Forester 86, which is the same bourbon I used when making the amaro), 1 oz coffee amaro, 1 oz Kina L'aero d'Or, stirred over ice and served on the rocks. Since the amaro itself isn't as bitter as Campari, I opted for some additional bitterness from the Kina rather than use vermouth. It turned out really, really good. Highly recommend it.

Just a warning if anyone tries to scale up this recipe or use a smaller cream whipper: Place the whipper in a bowl, and when you discharge the NO2, have another bowl or bottle, or SOMETHING covering the spout. Otherwise, you can get a fantastic stream of high pressure amaro covering your kitchen ceiling which isn't much fun... In the infusion steps, you will also get a stronger infusion by using two chargers in your ISI whipper. It's not recommended by the manufacturers (and don't do it with a non-brand whipper!), but Dave Arnold (who popularised this pressure infusion technique) has demonstrated it's perfectly safe.

Is there some kind of general rule that would help me find when coffee would really add to a recipe instead of either taking away the show and making the dish about coffee or failing completely and making a good dish bad?
