      Randy's Deliciously Rich-Coffee Extract

      Posted by VanillaPura Pro ·

      Who knew coffee extract could be such a handy and delicious addition to your kitchen pantry!

      This full-bodied extract will enhance just about any recipe but especially all things chocolate. Randy's extract is also a great replacement for espresso powder in all your sweet or savory recipes. 

      You can see Randy's posts and progress in our private Facebook group, Making Vanilla Extract by VanillaPura. 

      We are proud to share the recipe here in Randy's words:

      Ingredients:
      • 2oz. of coffee beans (I went with a Kona blend from Safeway but go with your favorite bean)
      •  8oz. Of vodka .
      *I change out the beans twice over the course of a month and look forward to it being done next month 
      Happy extracting!

      I was switching out my beans and now only have about 1/2 cup of liquid! Is this normal? Should I add more vodka when I add the new beans?

      Hello, Derrick!

      The process is about two months but be sure to test taste it and adjust based on your liking!

      Maybe I’m just not seeing it. But how long is the process all together? Change the beans twice a month for how many months?

      Hi Pamela!

      A coffee grinder would certainly work in making a coarse grind. :) Happy extracting!

      I don’t have a morter and pestle so would I be ale to use a coffee grinder for a course grind?

      Hi Mary!
      You just need to combine the ingredients in a glass jar with a lid and leave the extract in a cool/dark place. The recommendation from the person who gave us the recipe is to switch out the coffee beans twice a month for a richer flavor. Hope this helps!

      I would prefer step by step instructions in words versus pictures

      I’m confused are you using 8 ounces of vanilla that’s already made are you using vanilla beans?

      My my experience with this recipe is, I had to add a half a cup of vodka each time I changed the beans. I expected some absorption, but not that much, so that probably means that I over pulverized the beans

      David Thomas on

      Are you using the mortar & pestle to crush the 2oz of beans before adding the Vodka?
      Are the replacement beans in the same amount as originally used, 2 oz?
      So, am I to assume the extraction timeframe for completion is 2 mos after changing the beans 2x’s from the initial start?
