Aim
To produce coffee vodka without the harsh coffee bitterness (and quickly).
Background
Second experiment in Rapid Infusion using a cream whipper. This one was the first one documented on the Harvard Science & Cooking Lectures.
Ingredients and Equipment
- Coffee Grinder
- Coffee Beans
- Coffee filters
- Chopstick (to hold the filter)
- Scales
- Measuring jug
- Cream Whipper with N2O charges
Procedure
- Weigh 35g of coffee beans
- Coarsely grind through coffee grinder and place in cream whipper
- Add 500ml of vodka
- Put screw top onto cream whipper and give it two N2O charges (or try to)
- Wait 2-4 minutes (We waited around 3-4 minutes)
- Violently release pressure in the cream whipper, remembering to shake down the whipper to make sure there's absolutely no remaining pressure in the container.
- Poke chopstick through the coffee filter and balance over the measuring jug.
- Filter the vodka through the coffee filter
- Drink!
Results so far
This produced a definite coffee-flavour vodka, although with cheap vodka taste (Chris who helped taste test) and woody undertones (Heather), possibly from under-grinding the beans. The flavour was similar to if you had just bit into a coffee bean.
Theories and Further Experiments
We should look into using less vodka in the whipper - there's possibly a difference in pressure happening which may be good or bad.
Possibly a finer grind of bean would result in better overall coffee flavour
