    I find that more acidic coffees are really good with tonic. I’m a teenager, but I think that only drinking fantas and colas is a little boring, because they only have sweet taste, while coffee and tonic have a very pleasant bitter and acidic tastes. Great video!!!!! I wish I could like this twice.

    Just tried this the first time today. I can attest: do not try it with a darker roast. I had an italian roast in the grinder and tried to pull that one rather short 2:1 in 20 seconds but it still had more of a medicinal quality to it. Kind of like a negroni, but with coffee. Will try it out again with a nice fruity kenyan.

    Tomo mentions he uses "cold brew concentrate". Is it something different than standard cold brew? What is the recipe?

    • @EuropeanCoffeeTrip
      @EuropeanCoffeeTrip  5 лет назад +6

      Thanks for the question, we should also do a video about it, right?
      So Tomo uses 170 grams of coffee to 800ml of water, grind size as for french press and keep it macerating for 12 - 24 hours.
      For drinking as black coffee, you should dilute it 1:1 to 1:3 with water. Hope it helps!

    • @_intrepid
      @_intrepid 5 лет назад +1

      This happens to me too. I think the espresso needs some time to cool down and you have to pour it very slowly over ice,

    • @ignaodd
      @ignaodd 4 года назад +2

      It has to do with the particles in the coffe, they act as nucleation points for the CO2 in the tonic and makes it foam. Adding ice to tonic will also do this because the ice has a very rough surface which causes the same effect. Heat also makes CO2 to come out.
      So the best thing to do would be to have cold filtered coffe poured slowly into ice cold tonic

    @Kurskayaduga 3 года назад

    tried coldbrew espresso (brazilian beans) and schweppes. got myself kvas. Btw. 60ml of coldbrew concentrate can be too much for 100ml of tonic. Even 30ml already take away all the sweetness of pretty sweet Schwepess indian tonic. So 60ml can be overkill.

      @Tusc9969 4 года назад +3

      Tonic water is pretty bitter, and it's known for it's distinct taste. On the other hand, soda water utilizes pressurized carbon dioxide gas. Tonic water is pretty different compared to most bubbly, carbonated waters. In addition to its distinct taste, tonic water contains calories (unlike the other types of waters).
