Decent espresso?

[mhyquel]

I'd like to mix it in, just a touch for the darker undertones.

Anybody have a line on a decent rich dark espresso?

I like DV's Cafe Brasiliano . . . the un caffed version of Doppio Espresso, assuming it's not been changed since the last time I bought the concentrate Myhquel.

I found Irish Cream to be an excellent addition if I wanted darker, coffee like undertones in my mixes.

If you can get DV Doppio espresso...

Thanks Perps. I had a look a couple of days back because of a different thread and everybody seemed to be out - possibly because DV had started sending out stuff that didn't mix properly and people complained.

I'm actually searching for another coffee myself, partly because if I vape the caffeinated doppio in the evenings I don't sleep, partly because it is so damn expensive.

I currently have 8 different coffees steeping, some kindly donated by forum members, and plan to do a post comparing them. It'll take some time. I'm doing something similar with 4 chocolates and it is a lot trickier than I anticipated.

While I like the idea of adding caffeine to my mixes, I couldn't get past the look of green cow in a tank...white sludge...reminded me of something.

I'll try the brasiliano. Any tips on mixing coffee blends? Steep separate and combine? Or all in?
What sort of percentage do you mix at?

Keep in mind, I only want to tint the blend, not have a full on cafe au lait.

I combine my coffee flavours as a rule Mhyquel . . . but if you want it more as a background flavour, maybe do it seperately . . . 10 drops in 10ml possibly?
