    This is a long shot you might not see this, but my family have a coffee manufacturer in Guinea Conakry, we are trying to expand and the coffee funds is building schools in Guinea to provide free educations especially for the girls who can’t afford it and get married in a young age, we also want to use the coffee business to provide jobs. If you see this we would love to send you samples, and hear your feedback and support on this your videos are Amazing. I just stumble upon it and I’m binge watching 😊😁❤

    I'm more of a tea person than a coffee person, but I was actually inspired by the adding aromatics video you did, and decided to make a tea blend put of it. It was oolong, rosemary, orange peel, rose petals, cloves, cardamom, and a touch of cinnamon. The first steep was a bit too harsh, but the second steep was exactly what I was hoping for! It was delicious and comforting, and I feel like the first steep was better as a sort of iced latte to balance out some of the bitterness and make it more refreshing, and the second steep was good hot and fresh with just a little sugar.

    regarding the muddling of mint when shaking a drink, leandro from The Educated Barfly did a test on how muddling influences the mint flavour in a classic mint forward cocktail on his FreePour channel. the result of his test was that muddling mint moderately in addition to shaking actually enhances the mint flavour. however, it's necessary to be careful to not shred the mint when muddling as that imparts unwanted vegetal flavours. so yes, while you don't need to muddle mint to get mint flavour into a drink when shaking, muddling might actually help if you want more mint flavour without using extra mint leaves. hope you find that info interesting. love the video. thanks for presenting your thought process!

    From another video of yours I saw: I think a "wine box" as a commercial product, but with ready brewed coffee would be a great idea; both as cold brew, and ready made espresso. Because espresso is a concentrate used as a base with water and other liquids to make other coffee drinks, it would last a while, I think.

    I have a suggestion for a future video. A few years ago I was served a coffee/hot drink that was technically more milk than coffee by a Bangladeshi housemate that I had, who steeped the milk in a lot of different spices (cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, whole cloves, that kind of thing). She used both fresh milk and powdered milk in it, and it was very sweet. I'd love to see and try it again, but can't find anything like it, so if you have heard of anything like it, I'd love to see a video of it

    Basically also everything you cook or bake should have a bit of salt if you want to highlight the flavor. Best thing for drinks imo is james hoffmanns 20% saline solution. (20g salt to 100g water and dissolve into a dropper bottle). If I drink coffee at friends places and the roast is too dark or just tastes off, one or 2 drops help to buffer the bitterness or even cancel it out whole amping up the other taste notes. It's amazing what salt in drinks can achieve :)
