Add some honey, lemon and hot water and you got yourself, what I would assume to be, a pretty nice Hot Toddy. For those sick kiddos of course.

All right, pulled the trigger and made this for New Year. I didn't skimp on ingredients, used pure Jamaica Blue Mountain Peaberry coffee from Volcanica and Redbreast 12yo as base. Result is extra smooth with strong notes of caramel and chocolate, and a subtle hint of spiciness. The finish is wonderful, just keeps developing and morphing through various flavors. Overall a delicious experiment that I'm almost certainly never going to repeat because it was an absolute pain to make 😅

I know you're all about coffee, but I feel like you'd also make for a really great cooking or cocktail channel. That might also help you get the audience size you deserve. You've got such a great personality and I feel like the still rather small world of specialty coffee is somewhat limiting you, though I'm greatful that you do the videos you do.

You can extract coffee really well with alcohol if you have a Flair.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I know coconut infused rum and wanted to try to make coffee rum in the cream whipper. Now I have a good starting point to use.

Hi James! Caffè amaro means bitter coffee, what you made is called amaro di caffè (coffee bitter). You can add fatto a casa (home-made).

Ive made this dozens of times but never commented until now. It is the best thing Ive ever tasted.

Thank god for James Hoffman. I’ve been looking for a coffee drink for my friend that doesn’t like coffee but does like amaros

i really love this new cooking with james series!! i hope to see a lot more :)

I love these kind of tutorials which explain the actions before hand so you'll know what you're doing.

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.

What a stunning video ! Just one suggestion, if anyone is going for clear look, those curds that the metal strainer collected during the milk washing are mega important! If you run the drink again through them it will get more clear

Your voice is amazing for videos. It is clear, smooth, relaxing and engaging at the same time.

"Now we *are* going to use a filter." Me, watching him pour into an unwashed filter: "James. James! JAMES! JAMES! AAAAAAAAAA"

James with mild disgust in his face: “coffee cheese” My brain: “hmm...gotta try that!” Also my brain: “no you don’t! ABORT!”

Where coffee KZread and cocktail KZread meet. And it’s beautiful.

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.

Gentle, do it GENTLE, just like James.

My guy out here blending the universes of my two favorite artisanal drinks. I would wonder what the level of risk is with the caffeine content paired with alcohol, but certainly worth it once in a while.

Hopefully you plan on releasing more videos like this one. It was really interesting. I'm very interested in the process of creating such a drink. How do you come up with the idea of adding ground coffee to a drink? I started experimenting with espresso shots in my cooking but it feels like shooting in the dark right now. 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? I would also really love to see videos about original recipes using coffee that could be really cheap and accessible to make. Thanks James!

I'm not sure how you came to this exact recipe and process but I had some thoughts on alternatives or tweaks. 1. From my understanding, milk washing is a clarifying process. A vegan alternative that may work is agar clarification. I'm not exactly certain how the alcohol would play around with the agar, but if it worked, you wouldnt have any whey or lactose in the finished product either. 2. I wonder if the final mix could be kept more stable by using agar clarification (no dairy so maybe less spoilage?) And by storing it in the charged canister to keep out oxygen.
