COFFEE SACCHARUM: Everything You Need to Know! (Zero Waste Coffee Liqueur and Syrup)

Today we’re revisiting and updating Coffee Saccharum, pulling together everything I have learned about this technique since first sharing a version of it when the channel first launched! Coffee Saccharum can be made into either a liqueur or syrup by slightly tweaking the recipes, and we’ll cover both here.
So many videos and recipes reference these Zero Waste ingredients made from spent espresso / filter coffee grounds, so here is the Definitive Guide to Coffee Saccharum, taking into account all of the tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way (and hopefully it is a slightly better video too, almost two years after the first 😂).

At work we do some homemade liquors and one of the most originals is cucumber, I do some sort of oleo as a base then mix with a white spirit… it’s delicious. Surprisingly it tastes almost like melon.

@andrewstorer4875 9 күн бұрын

That's because cucumber IS a melon! It's just not especially sweet compared to the others

Made this a few days ago. I used it as an additive to coke and just wow how it elevated that drink! Just wanted to say thank you.

Wow, thanks so much! That does sound delicious, especially ice cold on a hot day 🤤

Excellent that Dan is doing a recap on coffee oleo. A recap video for all the oleos would be excellent. My favourites being citrus 🍊🍋, banana 🍌 and pineapple 🍍

I batch large amounts of cold brew concentrate using a very fine grind (not espresso fine, but around a 3 on an EK43 grinder. Slightly finer than I would put in a moka pot but if I pulled a shot it would take less than 10 seconds), so I ended up using those spent grounds in my oleo. I decided to see what flavors were being drawn out without the addition of the filter coffee, so I used nothing but white rum & filtered water just as a starting point before choosing a filter coffee to add on my next attempt. My first result definitely lacked on the coffee flavor, but I noticed a lot of interesting chocolate malt notes & a little bit of the stone fruit character surviving the cold brew process! I could definitely still sense the oxidized, metallic old coffee defect when sampled unmixed, but I wonder what adding some fresh orange peels to the coffee oleo and perhaps a few bar spoons of maraschino syrup at the end might do to recover some of the more sweet, aromatic elements missing from the spent coffee without adding any additional brewed coffee to the recipe. I think I will give it a go next time I prep cold brew and report back! I'm hoping by nixing the filter coffee, the end result could even become more shelf stable if I nail the ABV & BRIX.

Ooooh, I love this! Keep me updated, the addition of other subtle flavourings is definitely a great thing to explore!

I am now doing this myself and I will see the results tomorrow- I intend to update and let you guys know my discoveries.

@cjsky5822 Ай бұрын

I'm currently making a batch of this with (please don't hate me) lavazza decaf pucks, the same coffee, demerara sugar and plantation OFTD, which should give the liqueur an abv above 20% and make it shelf stable - I'll still keep it in the fridge to be safe. I don't drink coffee and the missus drinks decaf usually so that's what I've got to work with. On the other hand it might be good for a cocktail that needs coffee liqueur and I don't want to be kept up all night? It's filtering through the paper now so I'll report back once I've tried it in a few cocktails.

@maxphills5502 10 ай бұрын

Excited to try this! What is the shelf life with the coffee syrup if I don’t use a spirit?

@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails 10 ай бұрын

I don’t have a way to test scientifically, but I have personally had it in the fridge for a few weeks with no issues. Always use your judgement and if there are any signs of spoiling (mould, dizziness etc) or degradation in flavour, make sure you don’t consume. You can always freeze it and defrost when you need, or scale up or down the batch size. Or both 🙂

@romainostermann Ай бұрын

Very informative. I am a coffee nerd. Quick question/ Have you tried with espresso fine ground coffee and adding a little bit of water to make it damp/ slightly wet to work the same way as used pucks? Fully onboard with Upcycling the used espresso pucks and that’s smart but the reason for my question is that you are already using puck that are extracted, therefore a fair amount of the compounds have left the puck. Any experience with freshly ground coffee?

@mauriceklaehne4241 8 ай бұрын

So cool! I wonder if using an AeroPress would speed the process up a bit, maybe filter again afterwards to be sure!

@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails 7 ай бұрын

I've tried, sadly it doesn't help. In my experience, it either chokes or gets very messy! That said, it may work with a coarser grind size, I tend to use very finely ground espresso pucks.

@StBlueFire 2 ай бұрын

@@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails Yeah had the same experience, but really wanted to make it work. I found that if you kind of pump the aeropress rather than using it like normal you can get A LOT of liquid out in a couple of minutes. The main advantages being that you can immediately get enough to add to your coffee and then it taking only a few hours of sitting in the aeropress after that instead of about a day in a standard filter. The disdvantage (or advantage) is that it does remove some of the bitterness of the coffee compared to the long steep. So you get this intense coffee flavor without the bitter notes if that's desirable for your use case.

@adamg.manning6088 10 ай бұрын

Hi. Thanks for this. Given the yield based around 1 part being 100g, what do you find the abv for each preparation to be? I’m hoping to make something above 16% to be shelf stable. Cheers. Subscribed.

@JJAdams86 9 ай бұрын

Also wondering this. I’m not sure how to calculate it exactly, but I think the liqueur would be less than 16% based on the final liquid ratio to alcohol. I’m hoping to make a version of this that is around 25%, but again, unsure how to measure it without a refractometer!?

@rickwoods5274 19 күн бұрын

Wait a sec. In your other video, you mixed the spent grounds and sugar, and let it sit for "6-8 hours", but in this one you're just stirring it for "a minute or two" to get the thick paste. Which do you recommend and why?

@doveseye.4666 3 ай бұрын

Can’t we make a shelf stable liqueur from this or higher alcohol would not bother me?

@benjaminbutton3476 10 ай бұрын

Syrup or liquer for the coffee old fashioned and Negroni ?

@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails 10 ай бұрын

Syrup would perhaps be a little too sweet so I would personally go with liqueur 👌

@andrewstorer4875 9 күн бұрын

I'd go with a liqueur. And in fact, make the spirit strong American whiskey. And also make the negroni a boulevardier! I love coffee and I love gin, but I have a hard time imagining gin + coffee being complimentary flavors

@johnnykhayek5932 10 ай бұрын

How do I make the filtered coffee?

@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails 10 ай бұрын

I use any leftover filter coffee or batch brew, but you can use a different coffee as well. I personally usually brew around 60-65g per litre and use a paper filter method (Pourover, Clever Dripper), but a cafetiere or any brew method works just as well as it is being paper strained and sweetened also.

@ZlligillZ 6 ай бұрын

I'm a little confused at your syrup recipe. 1:1:1 coffee:sugar:spirit doesn't sound like a syrup to me, I would think all syrups are nonalcoholic. Could you elaborate on this a bit more?

@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails 6 ай бұрын

You can totally make it with water instead of a spirit, I just sometimes use booze to increase the shelf life and just allow for this in my final recipe.
