Coffee Extract

Small bottle, big possibilities

You're holding the most flexible coffee in our catalog. It works like vanilla extract… But coffee. A little in cookie dough, a pour into cold milk, a dash in your cocktail. Here's what it is and every way we know to use it.

What's in the Bottle

Made from
Medium roast specialty coffee, chosen for maximum balance. The origin rotates as our catalog does; the profile stays consistent.
Method
Slow cold-brew extraction, small batches
Profile
Smooth, concentrated, very low acidity
Sizes
5oz bottle · 4oz dropper bottle
Caffeine
Yes, in proportion to the dose. A few drops in a recipe carry very little compared to an 8oz cup of hot-brewed coffee.
Good to know
Contains alcohol, like vanilla extract

In Your Cup

The warm latte, without the machine

5–10ml to taste

Stir into freshly steamed milk for a warm, smooth, low-caffeine latte. No espresso machine, no bitterness. Start low, find your strength.

The summer iced latte

5–10ml to taste

Cold milk over ice, extract in, stir. The low acidity is what makes this work; nothing sharp, nothing sour.

Coffee sparkling water

A few drops

A few drops in sparkling water over ice. Unexpected, refreshing, and barely any caffeine. Try it before you doubt it.

The coffee tonic

A few drops

Bartenders have been dropping espresso shots over tonic and ice for a while now. This is that drink, no shot pulled. A few drops over tonic and ice, maybe a twist of citrus. Bright, bittersweet, made for a hot afternoon.

In the Kitchen

Baking, anywhere a recipe says "espresso"

Match the recipe's coffee call

Cookie dough, brownies, frosting, ice cream base, tiramisu. Anywhere a recipe calls for strong coffee or espresso, the extract does the job without thinning the batter.

The chocolate amplifier

A few drops

Coffee makes chocolate taste more like itself. A few drops in hot cocoa, chocolate cake, or ganache deepens the chocolate without reading as coffee.

Behind the Bar

The coffee-enhanced cocktail

5–7 dashes

Add alongside your bitters for a coffee-enhanced twist on a classic. The extract behaves like a second bitters bottle… Treat it that way.

The no-shot espresso martini

Start small, adjust

It mixes cleanly with bourbon, rum, sweet vermouth, or cream for an espresso-martini-style drink without having to brew a shot or clean a machine.

Good Questions

What does "soft" coffee extract mean?

"Soft" doesn't refer to a manufacturing method. It describes the flavor profile: gentle on the palate, easy on the stomach, not bitter or harsh. Bottled at concentrate strength, so a few drops or a spoonful does the work of a brewed cup.

Is this the same as cold brew concentrate?

Almost. Both are coffee brewed cold into liquid concentrate. Ours sits at the more concentrated end, made in small batches and bottled in a measured-pour format. Most cold brew concentrates are jugs for drinking. This bottle is built for drinking and cooking both, in smaller, more controlled portions.

Why is it so low in acid?

Cold water extracts coffee slowly and leaves most of the bitter, acidic compounds behind. What makes it into the bottle is the deep, sweet middle of the cup. Easier on sensitive stomachs, and better in recipes where brewed coffee would taste sharp. Not a process secret. Just patience.

When the bottle runs low… You can have this exact extract again, made in small batches from freshly roasted coffee.
