Personally I think this should be called "Kombuhi". The 'cha' at the end of kombucha comes from the Japanese word for tea(ocha), since this is coffee based the name should reflect that by adopting the last syllable of the Japanese word for coffee(kohi).

Cool idea and good video! Just a note here, while it's a good idea to add the pellicle to the brew, I'd say it's also necessary to add some starter kombucha to the brew, not optional. The liquid is what contains the majority of the bacteria culture needed for fermentation. And if you happen to let the brew ferment for too long such that it becomes a bit too acidic for your taste, do not throw it away and start again - the acidic brew makes an excellent starter for your next batch!

I’m making this today. I’m changing the ratios a bit. I use two cups of starter per gallon with regular kombucha, so I am using 1 cup for a half gallon. I’m using one cup of sugar. I’m also upping the initial coffee. When I brew coffee I always use a ratio: grams of water x .04 = the grams of coffee needed to brew. So what I end up with for this is: 8 cups of water 75 grams of coffee 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of starter One scoby mat

The scoby eats the sugar and caffeine. I make this at home and I'm caffeine sensitive. When the fermentation is done the kombucha should have little to no caffeine left. I drink this whenever and never feel buzzed at all.
