After brewing a Stout recently, and marveling at the Coffee, Chocolate and Raisin notes that the Black Patent Malt gives off, I got to thinking.
I wondered what it would be like if I used an Aldi Expressi machine to make a Black Patent Coffee.
I cut the top off a used Coffee pod, ground some Black Patent Malt in a Morter and Pestle, filled the pod, and then Glad Wrapped the pod.
Chucked it into the machine, and pressed the button.
I must have ground it too fine, because the flow from the machine was very restricted, but I did get enough out of it to make a small "Coffee".
THE VERDICT? Not too bad. Slightly sweet, but this could have been the sprinkle of Sugar I added.
I will probably try this again. Give it a go.
