As a Korean living in Seoul I just wanted to mention three things. 1. Pronunciation of the Korean word dalgona was surprisingly perfect!! 2. The burnt, bitter taste of the instant coffee foam is close to what actual dalgona tastes like. I assume a lot more people would know due to Squid Game. 3. Nowadays there are many places that serve dalgona crushes on top of cafe lattes in Korea. Though I have never tried either the foam or crushed bit version.

While growing up, instant coffee is the more expensive more tasty coffee. "Bru" was the brand that did it. Even now, good coffee, even when it's not made by instant coffee, is still referred to as Bru coffee. Just yesterday in train and the coffee seller came to cabins and started selling his "Bru coffee" it was pre made decoction, but still pretty good. So good coffee = instant coffee here

You can make a Dalgona Coffee with espresso instead of instant coffee by adding a pinch of good quality xanthan gum before whisking. The great thing about using xanthan gum is it thickens the coffee topping well with both hot and cold drinks. It's actually a stabilizer that's present in many instant coffees so the silky texture achieved with espresso/ristretto+xanthan is similar to what you made here, but the whisking time a little longer, so a small handheld electric whisk is definitely useful.

James, it's really interesting: when this whole Dalgona fad came to light, I couldn't help but think of something I had seen many years ago. I was once dating a Cuban girl, and she prepared what she simply called "Cafe Cubano", which is basically Cafe Bustelo (extremely strong, pre-ground, vacuum-sealed coffee bricks) in a Moka pot, then you add a few drops from the initial coffee to come out of the moka spout to a LOT of sugar, and whip it into a foam. That foam is added back to the finished coffee from the moka pot. Check it out, I think this could make an interesting video for your channel.

I was just thinking about that. The "coffee frosting". Actually I just made some today! It is really good. I'm Norwegian-American, but it's one of my favorite ways to make coffee. It's a nice treat every so often, but it's far too sweet for daily consumption! Strangely enough it's even a little complicated to get it just perfect. I still like Cafe Bustelo in my Moka pot as is. I can find it in a canister in the store at home. I'm glad someone else had that thought! I think it would be interesting to see James attempt the recipe.

When I worked at a shop that employed primarily Cubans a cup of Cafe Cubano after lunch was practically religion. One person took a break and made enough for everyone and then everyone took a few moments to enjoy the drink before going back to work. Was a very nice pick-me-up to get you through the afternoon. It is very important to get some of the first drops out of the pot, for whatever reason that may be.

I might propose a third alternative to concentrating coffee: Place it in the freezer in an insulated container and once it begins to freeze, peel off the top layer of ice. The first ice that forms will be pure water. You can repeat that process to remove water out of the liquid. This is what instant coffee makers do as well.

​@@jameshoffmann This would be a great opportunity to do an exhaustive test of ALL of the plant milks and plant creamers!!! I meant, oat milk "minor figures' bran in particular is the most popular right now, but maybe a more elusive plant milk works better. Things that come to mind: Macadamia milk, tiger nut milk, rice milk, pumpkin seed...There are also many different brands and type of creamers. Some better for foaming than others. I think what I would be most interested in hearing from you and your advanced coffee palette is just how the various flavours of milks compliment coffee. In my own experience I find the plant milk options at Starbucks to be extremely disappointing. Soy, Almond, Coconut. I chose soy because it is the most neutral in flavour, and I personally don't have any problems digesting it, however I know many do. On one occasion I ordered to coconut milk for my drink--now I'm not sure if the person just pulled a bad shot, or overheated the milk but the flavours just did not meld well. The coconut made it taste burnt (I have tried it on a few occasions and this flavour is consistent). Almond on the other hand I just never cared for. The flavour is too nutty for my coffee. Many small coffee shops do provide better plant milk options like oat, so that is what I will go for if available. But it would be interesting to hear the science behind how these different plant milks might interact with coffee, and I think you could probably offer a lot of insight! And as always, thank you for the great and informative videos!

The first part (instant coffee+sugar+water => coffee foam) is classic in Greek coffee recipes. It's the basis of the warm "nes" coffee, where you add milk or milk cream, hot water and stir, resulting into a coffee with a thin foam layer looking like Espresso's. It's also the basis of "Frappe" coffee, the classic recipe of Greek instant coffee. You poor it over ice cubes, add water and optionally milk and/or Irish cream liquor, stir a little; plenty of thick coffee foam stays on top (2-4cm high).

Oh boy do I have a story to share that relates to that PSA of yours. I once decided to use this foam as an egg replacement in a brownie recipe so I could make it vegan. I used about half the pot I had which should be about 100 grams of instant coffee. I managed to make 2 brownie batches but this should give you a decent idea of how much was in a piece. The brownies came out quite tasty but as I was eating it, at no point did I actually bother to consider just how much coffee I was ingesting. I would just randomly eat pieces here and there during the days after, at some point at night I decided to eat a pretty big chunk and I essentially ingested about 20 cups of coffee worth of cafffeine in about 5 minutes worth of time on top of the pieces I had already had earlier that day. For the next few hours it felt like I was an agressive level of awake and having a heart attack at the same time. It was fun trying to fall asleep that night.

Works great the only dow side is the instant coffee sucks unless you buy specialty

Has anyone tried dehydrated espresso? I usually keep some around for making chocolate desserts but used to make a strong cup and mix in whole milk at a 1:1 ratio. I made a cup several months ago in a bout of nostalgia but it didn’t taste as good as I remembered it. It was my favorite drink once upon a time but apparently my tastes have evolved.

Hi, James! At my Japanese coffee shop, we chill a ~40g shot of espresso in a narrow container surrounded by ice (in an ice bucket for champagne). Standard recipe called for 10g simple sugar syrup, but this is possible to leave out, if you prefer. When it had chilled for about 20-30 seconds, we would add a little bit of ice (about 20g) and use a stick blender to create a very velvety, thick, pourable foam and serve it in a martini glass, garnished with a tiny bit of Turkish-ground coffee. The foam would collapse in about 3-5 minutes, but people were in the middle of drinking it by then. My chief barista and I experimented quite a lot with trying to emulate Greek cold cream/foam and this same coffee foam, but we could never get the consistency of the milk/cream portion right.

We put the coffee first and top with milk, rather than topping coffee over milk. So if we needed stronger coffee, use less milk and vice versa.

Hey James! If I may offer some insight (though you may well already know this): In Korea, despite the meteoric rise of speciality coffee, a large part of the population still genuinely PREFERS that robusta-y, bitter-y, horrible-y tasting coffee. It has something to do with how Koreans grow up drinking instant coffee that is extremely sweet, bitter, and concentrated to the point where many think that is what coffee is supposed to taste like. So, i think Dalgona just plays on that preference and just turns it into an iced latte with extra steps. Love your videos! And since I’ve run out of coffee, I’ve been digging deep into my mate gourd.

In Serbia we have something similar, called Ness Caffe, made from instant coffe. 2 dcl cup, 1 tea spoon of instant coffe (it can go up to 2), sugar (per taste), small amount of hot water, use electric mixer (special for those type of coffe making) mix sit till you get same foam, and then add water (hot or cold) and or milk, depending what you like. Did not know, up until today, that it has fancy name :)

I was able to make Dalgona coffee at home after some trial and error with actual espresso. I added 40g of sugar to 40g of espresso and added Xanthan gum. Blended it with my bamix hand blender and it became quite thick. Not exactly the same as the instant coffee, but quite similar. Maybe more airy than this version. Tasted pretty damn good as well.

@makispapantoniou7385 3 года назад
Probably mentioned already but for whoever isn't familiar with Greek instant coffee beverages it's quite similar. So, after you finshed whisking or shaking or mixing the foam you can go 2 ways 1. You pour hot water through the foam and you have a hot Nescafe (as it was made at home in Greece) 2. You put ice and pour(slowly) cold water through foam and then you get a cold Greek Frappe. The above maybe known, but interestingly it's possible to make something quite similar with espresso, at least visually It is a cold coffee beverage called Freddo Flat White where you put cold milk in a glass and then you top it with a very well shaken espress shot, which is practically mostly foam, and because of that it stands above the milk creating 2 or better 3 visible layers.

Several thoughts: First, this reminds my of a shakerato - espresso and simple syrup, shaken with ice to make a foam, then strained. The foam is less stable than this. If your wanted to use espresso, and didn't mind reduced strength, you could use a foaming agent like versawhip. You could reduce the sugar as well. This might be a good option for not overdoing things. Finally, getting into the gadgetry: it would be quite interesting to attempt concentration via freeze or nanofiltration methods.

knickly here in México we have a drink which has become very popular, the “Carajillo shaked” which contains a liqueur similar to cointreau, espresso and ice, and it actually forms a very rich foam after shaking it... but never as the dalgona foam, that I think is more like a cream texture.

I'm stunned he looked this up and doesn't realize you mix it, it's just presentation at first, then before drinking it's mixed and it really does taste weirdly of honey and the whip thickens the milk substantially. I very much doubt he'd enjoy it still, it's a very Starbucks style kind of coffee drink.

James - I must say your videos are very well done. I’ve watched several of them and I’ve learned a lot. I wanted to say thank you for putting together such great videos. It’s increase my skillset significantly with the French press. Now I can consistently produce a great cup of coffee effortlessly. I am currently making stove top espresso and French press coffee on a regular basis. For the stove top I am using a 3-cup bialletti and Epica milk frother. For the French press I am using a digital scale, a cheap water electric kettle, securá insulated French press, and grind beans with a Encore Baratza. I’ve been quite entertained, enjoyed your artistic and humorous flair you have thrown into the video. I like that you use high-quality audio and video it makes the experience that much more enjoyable, and maybe you aren’t but the viewer would never known. You are also very descriptive and very detailed oriented in the words that you use. I like that. It comes across that this well thought out and and you level of knowledge and experience is quite transparent. It helps in understanding what you are seeing and experiencing that you want the audience to few or understand. Well done! Keep up great work. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

Hi James. My grandma used to make a foam like this using the first drops of a moka coffee and lots of sugar and mixing it very fast in a small cup for few minutes. It becomes almost white. She would then add it to the rest of the moka coffee to sweeten it and also to get the foam on top of the coffe and make it look like an espresso (just “look” of course). That foam would last A LOT but it was way too sweet to drink/eat on its own.

I mean, he's still not wrong that it tastes like sweet instant coffee and milk. Like, I don't think that that fact would change significantly even if the texture was uniform and the flavor slightly more balanced. Also, admittedly, when I first saw this on instagram I read several articles and watched a few videos and nothing that I read/watched about the origin, preparation method, and taste of the beverage told me that you're meant to stir it first. I'm not saying they aren't out there, I'm just saying that lots of media is just showing the prepared drink and not showing you how you drink it. And to undrink it, you essentially undo the gimmick, so it's a little counter-intuitive because the whole point is the foam. But ultimately you're right lol.
