ESPRESSO AND COFFEE DRINKS
Egg Coffee
A fan favorite, this Vietnamese classic is the original dalgona coffee trend. Only much, much better (obviously) thanks to using real espresso instead of instant coffee powder (gross, we know).
Ingredient List:
2 shots espresso extracted with your Nanopresso
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
How to Make:
Brew two shots of espresso using your Nanopresso in a mug.
Once your shots are made, in a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk with a beater until the mixture thickens and lightens in color and appears more foam-like (this will take a few minutes). You’ll notice the color go from egg yolk yellow to a lightener cream color as the mixture aerates. This is what you want.
Using a spatula, gently pour your egg foam as a top layer to your espresso shots. Voila, egg coffee is served.

Café Bombon
Often enjoyed as a dessert, a Café Bombon is a sweet treat worth pouring up any time of day (if you ask us). This traditional Spanish treat can be mixed either way (espresso layered on top of the warmed condensed milk, or vice versa as we instruct below) and it may take a few attempts to perfect this work of art in a glass.
Ingredient List:
2 shots espresso extracted with your Nanopresso
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
How to Make:
Extract 2 shots of espresso using your Nanopresso into a small glass mug. Warm the sweetened condensed milk on the stove or in a microwave until bubbling around the edges. Gently pour over the espresso to create a layered effect and serve.

1 cup Pipamoka hot-brewed coffee brewed with Café Du Monde Coffee with Chicory dark roasted coffee
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

Crack Hot Chocolate
Four servings of this Crack Hot Chocolate might sound like a lot, but just wait until you take your first sip. You’ll probably even find yourself doubling the recipe at some point.
Ingredient List:
2 shots espresso extracted with your Nanopresso
3 cups whole milk
2 cinnamon sticks
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
Whipped cream and chocolate-covered espresso beans
How to Make:
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan, add cinnamon sticks, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Whisk occasionally to prevent from boiling. Do this for approximately 10 minutes. Once simmering, slowly whisk in chocolate, sugar, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until chocolate is melted and consistency is smooth and creamy. Remove cinnamon sticks and add espresso to the mixture. Stir to combine.
Pour into four mugs and top with whipped cream and espresso beans. Serve immediately.

Chocolate Caramel Rum Rum Coffee
Decadent and delicious, this isn’t exactly a low-calorie coffee drink. But it is one that will leave a lasting impression. And after a long day of hiking or exploring, a just a long week at the office or on the road, sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed.
Ingredient List:
Two 12 oz cans evaporated milk
3/4 cup dark rum
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1/3 cup dulce de leche
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
4 cups hot brewed coffee using your Pipamoka
2 tablespoons Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
Optional – Coffee Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
Chocolate covered espresso beans
How to Make:
Combine milk, dark rum, chocolate syrup, dulce de leche, and brown sugar in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until hot. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. Stir in coffee and Kahlua.
To make the coffee whipped cream, place the heavy whipping cream in a small bowl and beat until it begins to thicken. Add in the powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in the Kahlua (you just fold it in, David!) until combined.
Pour the chocolate caramel rum coffee into mugs and place a dollop of coffee whipped cream on top. Garnish with chocolate covered espresso beans.
