The black pepper simple syrup is such a genius idea! I love freshly cracking some black pepper onto my walnut milk lattes (black pepper and walnut is a magic combination) so this is something I definitely might want to try.

I’m just now seeing this, but thank you so much for reviewing this Morgan!!! This drink means a lot to me and I’m glad you enjoyed it!!! You were spot on with the syrup measurements in the cup, although I meant to specify that the syrup goes in the glass instead of the steam pitcher. Also, I just think a coupe is pretty, but my wife and I have been drinking them out of rocks glasses. I appreciate you! So star struck right now!!

The cup of joy was a friend/coworker of mines! He was excited about getting his drink featured and he deserves it! One of the best baristas there is.

The clock! I am surprised to see this only took you 40 minutes to shoot. Quick work!

I love the hot kool aid “I made this for you” reference

So I figured out how to make a peanut butter hot chocolate without pulling out any blenders. It's VERY low brow, but if you mush together a packet of instant hot chocolate with just enough peanut butter to make a paste, the drink powder helps the peanut butter incorporate into whatever liquid you'd like to put it with, the best I found is fresh hot coffee. If you want to be incredibly decadent on an already sweet dessert of a drink, drizzle in some maple syrup. I steamed milk could help lighten up this heavy drink, but I didn't have any, so I cut it with regular milk, but that's to personal taste.

Seeing a spiced orange espresso... looks like this is going to be a great lineup!

As someone who only has a drip coffee machine, usually I just do cream and sugar but if I'm feeling bored by that I just do a simple black drip with a packet of Swiss miss hot coco- mocha esque, quick cheap and doesn't require a lot of fancy appliances

have you looked at a cremaet? -equal parts sugar and dark rum into a glass espresso cup -warm with a steam wand at low pressure, or for 30 seconds in the microwave -add a couple of coffee beans, a piece of cinnamon -light on fire -express an orange peel into it, then add the peel (you can use lemon here, I prefer orange) -stir with a bar spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved -allow to warm and burn off a bit of the alcohol -while still on fire, float a shot of fresh espresso on top to extinguish serve layered, stir it to mix the layers, enjoy (its quite alcoholic, but delightful) its got a nice bit of theatre with it for making it too.

Hot oj with coffee sounds like a horrendous crime; but, given your reaction, I’m curious enough to try it.

My favorite coffee to make goes like this: 1/2 c Grady's cold brew concentrate (or cold brew concentrate of choice, Grady's is just the current favorite) 2-4 pinches ground/powdered cardamom to taste 1/2 tbsp brown sugar vanilla syrup (a brown sugar syrup cooked in a 2 parts sugar, 1 part water ratio plus vanilla bean paste, usually a tsp of vanilla bean paste for a cup of sugar) splash of cream 3/4 c milk Add everything to a mason jar with ice (we don't have a shaker lol), screw on the lid, shake, then pour with or without ice into your drinking vessel. Everything can be adjusted to taste of course, depending on how creamy/milky or sweet you like your coffee.

The blueberry shaker looks pretty good, but with how syrupy it is, I wonder how it might be with some added seltzer. Maybe 2 parts shaker to 1-2 parts seltzer, depending on how light you want it.

20 years ago I was a barista. It really wasnt perceived as cool as it is now! I think you are making an awesome job at making this art more accessible and simple to understand ❤

I think I’ll add some mint onto the Blueberry Shaker to make it more refreshing 🤔

I used to just do soda water, espresso, and orange blossom water over ice all summer long. I like using orange blossom water because it's not sweet, so you can control that separately to your own taste. I wanna play around with huckleberry, they grow wild here. Rosehip have a similar flavour and are probably more accessable.

Hello Morgan, I wanted to suggest a coffee drink. It’s a pretty simple drink so I love making it in the morning. I love filling 3/4 of a mug with coffee then pouring evaporated milk into the remaining 1/4 of the mug. If I’m feeling in the mood for something less bitter I will do 2/3 cup of of coffee to 1/3 cup of evaporated milk. Sometimes I will even mix in a little almond milk as well. The evaporated milk gives it a really buttery taste that I love. If you do another one of these videos, please consider doing this recipe or a variation of it (if you can consider this a recipe). Thank you so much!

I have been having fun with this coffee drink in the last few months: ingredients: - I am used to single shot of espresso but do whatever you feel it works for you. Medium/dark roast - either 1 vanilla pod (use all the vanilla seeds for 500ml of your fav milk) or 10ml of maple syrup every 125ml of milk, according to your preference - whipped cream (home made starting from cream from the fridge) - Cocoa powder/Cinnamon to use on top of the drink Process: take the vanilla seeds and infuse them overnight with the milk. When you are preparing the drink first we need to take out the cream from the fridge and start whipping it until it is firm but not too much. Then we pull our shot of espresso. Then, before frothing the milk with a thick foam, like standard cappuccino, we use a thin strainer to leave most of the vanilla seeds off. We froth the milk and put it into the cup. We add a couple of spoons of whipped cream and we top it with cocoa or cinnamon. Prefer Cocoa to balance the sweetness of the vanilla. If you did not use the vanilla, it even simpler with maple syrup to add to your cup before the milk. I modified an Austrian drink known as the Konsul, which is a sort of coffee macchiato with whipped cream.

I love Orange Juice with dark chocolate, but I've never even thought of Orange Juice with espresso... yum. I have to try this before the winter is over. Or maybe you could change the spices a bit and ice it for summer... hmmm...

This doesn't have coffee in it, but if I am not too busy, I like to make myself a matcha latte with lemon oleo saccharum replacing honey, sort of inspired by a matcha lemonade.

I am working on a drink inspired by one of my fave books (the Starless Sea): a Honey Stardust Latte with cold foam Espresso, Earl Grey Vanilla syrup, salted honey cold foam Also trying to work out a second drink for the book with orange blossom, warm spices, honey, (alcohol free) gin, and espresso (based on a lot of the orange espresso drinks you've shown on your channel)

I thought this would be simple drinks like caramel macchiato and iced coffee with some syrup and such. no this was a unique and creative drinks with ingredients i never thought of adding to coffee wow

my go to at home is saffron syrup in a latte. i make the syrup myself because no one seems to sell it, and so i generally chuck in some vanilla pods too. you do need to put in a fair bit of saffron and let it properly steep to get a rich strong syrup. i generally put it in a small latte with a shot of espresso and some oatmilk

One I've been doing on these hot summer Australian days: 1 shot of Espresso (or, I brew from a Moka pot and chuck in 45mL of extraction) 1-2tsp simple syrup (to your taste) 1 dash angostura bitters 1/2 TSP vanilla extract The juice of 1 orange and of 1 lime, or the juice of 2 limes, also amazing. Stir together and serve over ice. It's amazing and so refreshing. I don't have a name for it

I've recently tried a Jasmin Tahini latte - which is a tea-drink but so delicious!

The video is brilliant ❤❤❤❤. I think you should make a series out of this idea

A cocktail I like to make is what I call the Lil' Italy Equal parts espresso, maple syrup and Campari. Shake with ice. Strain in a martini glass OR pour with the crushed ice in a rocks glass (depending on preference/mood). Top with orange twist. Enjoy!

If you like a fancier ginger ale from time to time, you should try Boylan! Even more than their ginger ale I recommend their Root Beer though. Boylan's Root Beer is the best I've ever had, it has this deliciously funky taste to it that just reminds me of Jeff Goldblum's aura and makes me want to dance. If you like root beer its definitely worth a try!

Hello Morgan, I love your videos and you are so creative! You are inspiring to me! That’s awesome you won the 2024 barista championship, do you mind doing a Winter Dream drink. ❤😊

Seriously laughed at the Julian Smith "I MADE THIS FOR YOUUUUUU..." reference.... that took me way back on the internets.

My coffee drink can sound a bit weird but it surely is tasty, if anyone cares to give it a try here it is "Café gemada" - In a small bowl add one raw egg yolk and two table spoons of white sugar, mix it vigorously till it gets quite white and creamy, add cinammon to it and mix. - Steam some milk, if its too hot let it rest for some seconds as to not boil the yolk. Add a smal amount of the milk in the yolk and mix well, afterwards combine it with the rest of the milk, then add coffee. The amount of coffe and milk is not specified as it is up to preference, but i usually make a large mug out of this. This drink has been created by me inspired by a drink my mother would make me when i was sick -basically this minus the coffe- if anyone tries this i would love some feedback.

I’m Connie of the citrus soda! My usual is an iced americano lmao but I’ve definitely had espresso tonics as my shift drinks. I’m still exploring the adding citrus to coffee side of things :) thanks for your input!

My absolute favorite coffee drink is an espresso and tonic with a really good caramel sauce. I imagine that great combos could come from mixing different roasts with flavored tonics, but I've never played around with it.

Not coffee, but I've been working on a "Chai" recipe for a while that I have nicknamed "dragons fire chai" The key to it is in the long list of ingredients used to give a prominent and distinct flavor: 0.75 G Pink Peppercorn 0.75 G kampot peppercorn 2 long black peppercorns 1.5 G cassia buds 1/2 Quill sri-lankan cinnamon 4 G Vietnamese Cinnamon 3 G ginger 1 G rose 1 G lavender 7 green cardamom pods 0.75 G mace 1.5 G star anise 5 Cloves 0.75 G dried orange zest 10 G good looseleaf assam tea. Honey to taste (~1/2 - 1 tsp) For the tea: I grind all the spices in a spice grinder, put in a pot with 2 cups water, bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and leave covered for 5 minutes, add in 2 cups milk and bring back to a simmer (careful to not burn the milk), add in the tea leaves and honey, remove & cover again for 5 minutes, strain and serve. It is a very spicy and floral drink. That I have recieved plenty of compliments on. And though I can't personally vouch for it myself, I suppose espresso could be added to turn it into a "dirty chai." And it would be a "coffee drink"😂

"I MADE THIS THIS FOR YOU... I DID BECAUSE I LOVE YOU... I HATE YOU" God that brings back memories

Forget about pumpkin spice lattes, I'm all about that Caffeinated Ginger Ale life now! 🧡☕️

Diet Coke + espresso + lemon = drink of the summer. My niece, Barbra, really enjoys this drink.

a simple coffee recipe i do is a hot chocolate and coffee mix. I make my coffee of choice, and I use specifically the Abuelita brand for the hot chocolate. Usually i combine the two in a single pot. You can either do the hot chocolate and then add the coffee to it, or the coffee and add the hot chocolate to it, whichever you prefer. The only rule of thumb if you have to use regular milk. I found the abuelita brand taste the best with milk (even tho I am lactose intolerant owo) So here are few instructions methods I use; Method 1 (for when I am making a lot) - make a pot of hot chocolate on the stove with regular milk - add instant coffee of choice to the hot chocolate til desired taste (personally i like my coffee sweet so I don't make it that bitter, also I use the standard nescafe instant coffee for this method) Method 2 (for single cup) - brew your standard cup of coffee with whatever coffee grounds of choice, can be brewed however you want (I do a pourover, and I use the Peets coffee brand) - if you have the abuelita powder version, add the powder to desired levels. (if you have the abuelita block bars version, I find blending/chopping the blocks before use makes it easier and faster to melt, do with that what you will) ((this makes it taste more like coffee than hot chocolate but you can still taste the chocolate so that's nice. I usually add a splash of creamer with this method)) If i ever find a hot chocolate brand that I like that accepts oat milk and doesnt make it taste off, that would be nice and my Hot Choco+Coffee combo will change but otherwise I am willing to suffer on the toilet for a nice creamy hot choco and coffee combo drink for the cold weather.

Love your channel and how you’re pushing the boundaries of creativity with the path you’re on.. Keep moving forward! Just discovering Onyx Coffee Labs now, particularly Monarch & Geometry.

My Signature Drink is called the "Break of Don". Inspired by classic tiki drinks from the 1930's created by Don the Beachcomber. 30 ml espresso 60 ml steamed whole milk (or oat or almond) 10-15 ml grapefruit oleo saccharum 10-15 ml demerara cinnamon syrup 1 dash angostura bitters (bonus points for angostura bitters infused with vanilla bean) 1 dash absinthe or pernod Mix together espresso, syrups, bitters and absinthe. Add steamed milk, and garnish with an expressed grapefruit twist and (optional) grated cinnamon. For the grapefruit oleo saccharum, mix together roughly equal parts grapefruit peels and white sugar. Muddle and let sit for a few days. For the demerara cinnamon syrup, mix 1.5 parts demerara sugar to 1 part water. Add in a few cinnamon sticks and boil until dissolved. Let sit for a few hours to steep, and add a pinch of salt.

Not my recipe but I just had a latte with five spice and cacao, highly recommend that combo. If I tried making it I think I'd make a five spice syrup, but I'm not sure the best way to add cacao, I think you could just use the powder? I just wish I had a better espresso setup since the cafe has really good espresso which helped a lot.

I always feel joy when your upload coincides with my coffee time, it's like everything is right in the universe and the stars are aligned

I make coffee in a Moka pot (light roast) and use about 4 oz of it, and brew a bag of chai tea mix in it. I warm another 8oz of oat milk (extra creamy) and then add a splash of maple syrup, a splash of amaretto syrup, a generous amount of pumpkin pie spice, and shake it all up!! Very fall... a maple almond pumpkin dirty chai oat latte. if you will.

16:00 A dutch baby is a kind of pancake, a dutch oven is a cookware item

Bourbon Maple syrup with a pinch (you decide how much) of a 1:1:1 ratio of ground black pepper corns, applewood smoked salt, and cinnamon. I use a double shot of espresso and steam 1% milk (but I can also see this being really good with whole milk). I typically make it to fit in a 8-10oz cup. Another is using your blood orange syrup ala - I can’t find blood oranges 😢. 1 Cara Cara orange sliced 2 cinnamon sticks 50g craisins 150g cane sugar + 50g brown sugar I mix this the same way as the maple one above. I think it would also be cool as a cafe Nico with heavy cream and a really small volume.

A friend of mine introduced me to hot orange juice with lemon and honey as a cold remedy. Although it feels odd to heat it, warm orange juice really can be lovely. I look forward to trying the orange/coffee drink!

The Orange one if you had some chocolate plus the spices it is so good.

That last one sounds divine, I'd pry opt for ginger beer

So this is super simple, but I used to enjoy it when I made coffee in a pourover- just make your coffee as usual, but add some honey to taste to the grounds before you pour your water. I’ve always found adding honey directly to coffee itself to taste weird, but this method merges the flavors of coffee and honey in a way that just adding honey as a sweetener afterwards couldn’t.

All these coffees sound incredible. Definitely going out to grab some ingredients and try recreate them. At the moment I'm downing a double shot with sparking water, or soda water and lime. Simple but so good in summer

Thanks for the drink ideas Morgan

Hi Morgan! I’d love to see a video with some interesting drinks you can make using drip coffee. I have a great drip setup (Baratza Encore grinder and Technivorm Moccamaster) but no way to make espresso, and I would love to mix up something fun!

I’m DEFINITELY trying the ginger ale one, yummmmm!

A&W Root Beer with a double shot of a chocolate-y espresso over ice. *chef's kiss*

I've been working on making a best approximation of raktajino (Klingon coffee) for a decade now. I imagine that their preference is for something intensely flavorful and spicy (not in the capsaicin sense) and also highly extracted, so I make it as a cold brew (ground finer than usual for cold brew) with a _lot_ of spices: allspice, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, all freshly ground. I also sweeten it with artificial sweetener because I'm diabetic and have to keep real sugar to a minimum. But I am not yet fully satisfied with the results, so I'm still working on it.

Hot orange juice is step one to spiced/mulled punch (or wine if you add, well , wine) :D

One of my favorites lately is a latte with chai concentrate and chocolate syrup added :)

I was so confused for a bit cause the only place I'm used to hearing this specific backing track is on dankpods channel, and my brain was just like where is the yelling aussie at. Great vid though pretty tempted to try a couple of those for myself especially the first one.

Hot drinks in stemware actually sounds perfect to me. The whole point of the stem is to keep your hand away from the drink, and it's much better at it than the handle on a typical mug. Great way to keep from burning yourself

I have been watching the clock in the background as you filmed all of these. Impressive. The drinks were good too :D

Loved this video. So fun.

Really enjoying your content! 😊

my favorite coffee drink i have ever made was an espresso with molasses in it. the espresso i made that day was a little bit over extracted and bitter but i think it would be better with a darker fruity coffee, the molasses was about a 1/2 a teaspoon, it adds such a nice texture but i do think it could use a bit of refining. also the molasses was pretty fresh as we had just cooked it down ourselves and was a little grassy, so if you access to something like that it would be more accurate to how i originally made the drink

I have to say, I really like the clock in the background, where did you get it? Also, I like that it gives some sense of how little you actually edit your videos.

my favorite coffee order is a white chocolate breve with raw local honey, the flavors go so well together

Spiced Orange Espresso sounds really good!

Hi, Morgan! There's this flavor combo I really enjoy, and while it is a bit of a low-level drink, I would love to see it refined, if possible. This is what I normally do; 4 oz. oat milk small pinch nutmeg about 1 tablespoon peanut butter about 2 teaspoons caramel syrup double shot of espresso This is the basic idea, but it would be cool to see it perfected and/or fancified lol, how it would be done by a professional. (note, the nutmeg and peanut butter solids can collect on the bottom and get rather gritty, so i would recommend cheesecloth.)

Hey what about barley and milk?? really simple but i think it's delicious, absolutly my favourite. like i said, really easy to make: -soluble barley (powder) -milk u mix them in the right quantity so, barley doesn't form lumps, and just heat the solution, that's it. (u can also add sugar to your liking to make it more sweet). If u ever prepare it i hope u will enjoi it

Some very interesting ones to start of with, that copy of joy looks like an interesting twist.

Ok i know perfectly well what you meant, but still, as someone from the Netherlands hearing you say "having a Dutch baby on the stove" made me do a double take haha. Great video and the coffees sound kinda awesome

When I want something beyond plain espresso, I do espresso and orange juice over ice

I don't remember if I ever had hot orange juice but hot lemon or even lime juice is just sore throat concoction/home treatment when I was a kid.😂

My only note is that I think you meant Dutch Oven, but a Dutch Baby w that drink does sound delightful!!!

i am so sorry but when i heart you say eight point half my brain actually rotted for a second but THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU i was just sitting here drinking some coffee and you made me want more coffee

If you liked the gingerale coffee that much maybe try that recipie with the ruby grapefruit fevertree in replace of the gingerale? i loved the idea of a grapefruit coffee but kinda was bummed it only got a six and figured combining the two might be a better combo for the grapefruit with some modifications to ingredients? In a recipie, ofc inspo from Connie Kim and Angela Jarma would look like: 150 ml of ruby grapefruit fevertree, 100 ml cold brew, 10 ml mint syrup, and 5ml blueberry juice.

what espresso machine are you using right now? love the content keep it up.

yeah new ranking video! edit: It's amazing how all the drinks were that much successful. I'd love to see more own secret? recipes apart from trending or "hack" recipes!

XD my favorite drink is simply my aztec mocha my local shop makes. Just chocolate with cayenne and then normal latte. I prefer mine with whole milk and the usually just whipped. Basically just a spiced mocha but XD

if you haven't tried it yet, espresso martini with sambuca instead of vodka is delicious

A video about coffee grinders please! 🙏🏻

I think you should do a video trying the greek freddo espresso and freddo cappuccino and also frappé

Ah yes, the Christmas tradition Dutch Baby 😂

I've realised how boring I am lol, having just regular old espresso + milk + sweetener 😅 I'll definitely be working through some of these fun new suggestions!

Hot Kool-aid - wow that brings me back. 😢

Few years ago I tried mixing cola with V60 brewed coffee, as suggested on coffee-related forum. It was suprisingly nice but I've never found the recipe again and couldn't recreate it (something's off with proportions). Does somebody knows about cola/coffee?

Classy orange juice is the ingredient.

Ayyy! The video I uploaded today also has a Cook Unity sponsorship. They are so good!

I'm surprised the black licorice coffee didn't incorporate fennel

Hello! I love your vids so much ❤️

0:05 the last time a beverage maker i watch(ed) did one of these he completely trashed every drink, while pretending to be the one who says "if you like it that's all that matters" (He didn't just say "I don't like these personally" he said basically "oh these people are wrong for liking them") I am honestly apprehensive about this video.

Morgan's reactions are 🤌

.... "Ladling things out of a Dutch baby on your stove" yes that's much clearer nothing screams christmas like scooping out a baby.

"BROTHER." "...What?" "Please. Drink. Mah. Hot. Kool-Aid." "...Fine."

That was slow of a side but hey helloooo morgan😌❣️

Somehow she look like female coffee lover version of sheldon cooper from young sheldon tv show 😂😂

Hi Morgan ever thought about opening a coffee bar?

jacksfilms reference omg

A Dutch Baby is a type of pancake. I think she meant Dutch oven 😂

DRINK. MY. HOT. KOOL-AID! Thanks for making me feel old, Morgan!

i really like experimenting with aromatics in espresso drinks, there's two interesting ones i make sometimes one is a double shot of espresso shaken with ice, 3-4 dashes of angostura bitters, brown sugar to taste (depends how sweet you want your drink) and strained the second is a double shot of espresso mixed with honey to taste and a teaspoon of arak/ouzo/anise liquor of your choice (but you said you're not a fan of anise flavor), I've had this hot, shaken with ice, poured over ice with oat milk for an iced-latte kind of experience so this one's more versatile but I feel like the first one is more up your alley :) for non-espresso machine drinks i really like using cafe du monde chicory coffee in a moka pot sometimes i also make icelandic caraway coffee (toast some caraway seeds in a pan before grinding them with your coffee beans, bean roast and ratio is up to whoever makes it but I usually use about a teaspoon per four tablespoons of beans), put the grounds in a pot of boiling water (genuinely do not know how much water I always eyeball it and i'm not good at it lol) and boil it for five minutes before straining out all of the grounds, you can add milk/sugar to taste if you like WOW that was an essay my apologies i got excited and i love your content
