And it turned out absolutely wonderful. I did a "hot vg" extraction method.
I simply filled a coffee filter with 2 scoops of coffee (just a medium roast walmart brand coffee), then wrapped it into two more filters I twisted it off and tied it closed. I used a rubberband but anything should do to close off the filters. I then filled a glass cup with 30 ml of VG and submerged the filtered coffee into the vg. I then took a pot of water and brought it to a simmer.
After getting the water simmering, I sat the VG + Coffee filter combination in a glass into the hot water. I let it sit for 30-40 minutes on a simmer while I would push on the filtered coffee every 10 minutes or so with a spoon.
Once the ~40 minutes was up, I removed the pot from the stovetop and the glass from the pot. I then took the filtered coffee and squeezed it as much as I could. In all reality I only yielded about 15ml of flavoring so I need to find a better way to squeeze the coffee filters.
Now onto the flavor; I mixed 3ml of the flavor with 1.5ml of a German Chocolate Cake flavoring and 1.5ml of a Vanilla Bean Ice Cream flavor I had purchased a while back.(both from SVA Flavors)
I'll tell you what... I have tried a lot of coffee flavors in the past, and this is by far the most authentic thing I have ever tasted. Not even my favorite vendor coffee flavor (Night Shift from VCV) comes close to how authentic of a taste this flavor has.
10/10 would recommend anyone wanting a coffee flavor to attempt to extract their own.
As a side note I also recently did this with some tea bags and experienced some pretty awesome results as well!
I might have to try this. I've never thought about doing an extraction but damn I really want a good coffee flavor and nothing is doing it for me.
Great stuff. Been meaning to try this for ages, need to get around to it.
Seemingly though it tastes burnt after a couple of weeks. Maybe do a follow up?
Ok i just tryed it.
Did it a bit diferently.
1Tblsp in 30 ml pg inside a cup, 20 mins in simmerimg water (doing the recipe on the sidebar).
Then poured it in another cup with a coffe filtre on the middle, its still filtering, i think im goong to let the coffe dry before using it.
Neat! Let me know how it turns out :) I currently have another batch simmering on the stovetop right now myself!
well i got arround 15/18 ml of extract. really nice.
i mixed some vanilla custard and added 7 drops of the extract, i think i need to add a bit more though.
with a couple hours in the eletronic cleaner i tryed it out and i can really feel the coffee in the exale, suddently this custard felt like "full bodied" if you know what i mean.
A+, will extract again :D
yesterday i talked with /r/onions_can_be_sweet about lemon juice, going to be mixing some strawberry peach with a bit of lemon, should taste good.
Awesome report! More like this is always welcome.
Coffee has always seemed to me (like tea) to be one of those hard to nail flavors.
However I feel like with this method it's become trivial. And not to mention getting the flavor to be in a VG base, leaving this batch of juice to be approximately 92% VG 8% PG (exact numbers being 91.75% VG and 8.25% PG).
Curious how the flavor will hold up over time, as brewed coffee has a tendency to go stale. Save some and mix it again in a week or two, and see how it does and let us know?
