Homemade Sous Vide Coffee Bitters Recipe

- Today we take our Nomiku Immersion Circulator to create a homemade coffee bitters recipe. We took a recipe found at ForkandStave and altered it a bit for our own taste profile.
For your creation, you can also make slight alterations or additions to build upon this and create even more dynamic flavor, maybe some hot spice?
You can use coffee bitters to balance out a coffee cocktail or to enhance a bourbon-based recipe like the Old-Fashioned. You may find other creative uses for it, including using it as a generalized aromatic bitter if you're short on other options.
The goal with this sous vide coffee bitter recipe was to both generate a fast and effective coffee bitter (in under 2-hours) while also giving you a chance to build your "production environment" to produce even more home crafted small batch bitter projects in the future.

This is so cool!
+Lisa Q. Fetterman thanks
Fantastic bitters video. Thorough explanation. Love the quality of your videos. Cheers!
Thanks!
Mountain Rose Herbs is one of the greatest sites ever!!!! Also, Specialty Bottle is great for bulk storage of any kind from boston rounds as in the video to gallon mason jars.
yeah, just wish they still kept around their affiliation program so when we use stuff we could try to make a few bucks in referrals, but they killed that off :(
Question you know how you can add a few drops of water to whiskey to draw out the barrel notes. Would the same thing be possible with a lime? Also do you know of any barrel aged tequilas that are worth the money.
Great job. Love coffee. Thanks
Hi! Instead of placing it in a bag, can they be heated sous vide but in a sealed mason jar?
I've never seen that done, so I don't know. All sous vide I've seen has been in a bag.
Wow this is crazy cool!!
+Programmerx thanks
Nice! :) first video that i have seen from you .... subbed .... thumb up :)
Thanks for finding us and the subscribe support, hopefully one of the many videos we've done will be something you're also interested in!
I def think so ... looks like a lot of nice content that you've put together here :) ... i'm myself did 18 years of bar tending (was a big passion) ... with a small gap (15 years) i'm slowly just re-entering the world of cocktails .... and it's so nice to see the revival of all those old ingredients and Technics (Bitters, Falernum, Oleo Saccharum ... etc) and to craft them at home ... i just re-fell in love with this occupation again lol :)
it's a good time to get back into it, tons of people are starting to learn how to appreciate a good cocktail, it's part of my mission. Bring them in with a frozen mudslide, then show them a classic daiquiri and work them into a manhattan over years of dedication :)
Nice! :) Yes I will have a cocktail evening just this Saturday ... I will serve some Negronis, Dry Martinis and Manhattens just before heading off having the best paella of town ... still fighting for the classics hehe ... for the Martini i use my selfmade "Orangeflower Water" i made this spring (I'm the most time in spain ;))
that's hardcore, that's a short night the way my friends and I drink, we usually focus on sours and such, because martini's put us out too fast :) We're usually up until 3AM, so it's often whiskey sours, margaritas (on the rocks), champagne cocktails, or we pick a spirit and focus on it (rum, tequila, etc.) and build out a bunch of different recipes.
Hi could you make any videos using either Everclear or Polmos Spirytus for cocktails or making bitters?
12:38 I love the Spongebob reference lol ;)
+Spikes Productions yeah, I knew they had to have a "2 hours later" version and they did!
interesting process. Is there any reason for using bourbon as the spirit base? Would using a more neutral spirit say vodka for example yield an end product that is pronounced on the raw materials without the flavours of say a bourbon
Perhaps, but I tend to favor coffee notes with my bitters in bourbon, so using a base that targets the way I'd use them works well. Coffee bitters in brown spirits are nice. But, if you just have the flavor of coffee and a couple other things, you may get a hollow taste using a neutral product.
The reason I didn't was purely to get a full bodied flavor. For cardamom bitters, or some floral herbs I'd go neutral (or gin base). For trade spices like allspice, clove, cinnamon, I'd prefer a rum base.
Would using something like an aeropress (similar from your old homemade coconut rum vid) be more effective?
+Stanley Tam nah, it's pretty easy to pour it through cheese cloth with little cleanup, the aeropress is probably going to clog a lot with all the coffee beans.
fair enouh
+Stanley Tam You could try a "nut milk bag" (hard to say without giggling sometimes). I use them for making cold brew coffee. You can just pour the stuff into it over a container and then squeeze out the liquid.
Ok, that works too
Love hacking the long steeping time out of this process, but I have a question
Could I just let the ingredients simmer in sealed Mason jars? Not sure why I need the precise temperature with vacuum sealing.
Perhaps, but you're going to want to filter out all the other ingredients as you go, but the immersion system allows for a precise temperature and a specific duration of time on heat before it shuts itself off.
I know me...if I start cooking water and walk away I'm going to come back that night totally forgetting about it :)
Is there any benefit to this method over the cold method other than time / convenience ?
+spasticgeek I'm not 100% certain on the longer form version of this, probably not too much different. I'll do the ISI rapid infusion with pressure method next and compare.
Nice! :-) I just started making bitters too so I'd be interested in seeing the differences
Anova Culinary circulator is better same price on less
+Matt DiComo ha! The irony being, since posting this video that's the only company that's been blasting me with ads :) They obviously are marketing against this brand as they've filled all the free ad space with their pictures.
+Common Man Cocktails Very true they are advertising like crazy. I got their first model before they started advertising heavy so maybe I'm bias lol. but souvide is great very versatile never thought to make bitters with it going to have to try it
+Matt DiComo why is it better if its the same price, has the same wifi feature... I guess I don't understand. First, it should really point the other way (outside the water) so you don't have to set it up holding your hands over the water. Not sure if I can find any other big differences...I mean, it circulates water so... for the same price I get ...water circulation.
+Common Man Cocktails I personally like the touch screen over the rotating knob and you can move the way it points or blows the water on the Anova at least on the original model. Not sure i get what you mean by outside the water it just clips to the side on the pot. But like I said I got the Anova before this one came out to I got set in my ways and my setup
+Matt DiComo I just mean the display points outside the pan instead of inside. But, touch screen is nice. I like that idea.
Your vidio is very lengthy...you could have finished it faster...people wouldn’t have the patience
