Green coffee (cut in half) does a little dance at first crack. The spin out really surprised me! I was trying to see the interior bean expansion roasting coffee that was sliced in half. But the food in the interior actually opened up early in the roast, when the coffee was still green. Anyway coffee does tend to move when it suddenly expands at first crack. But my little half beans really jumped … and more. #coffeeexperiments #coffeeroasting #firstcrack (at Sweet Maria's Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjWS4Oh6uz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ingredients: ·Nescafe Instant Coffee mix ·Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino Chilled Drink ·Water ·Sugar (optional) Step 1: Combine one teaspoon of the instant coffee with half a teaspoon of sugar and half a mug of hot water. Step 2: Fill up the rest of the mug with the Starbucks frappuccino. Step 3: Stir and enjoy. Extra: You can use cold water instead and add ice cubes for an iced result. Reflection: I liked it more than the normal Starbucks drink but I thought it was a bit too sweet. It obviously wasn’t amazing, professional coffee, but it was definitely drinkable and pretty enjoyable. Maybe next time I’ll try it without sugar. Other than the sweetness, I was pleased with my results. Rating: 3 out of 5 stars for homemade coffee.

This is something new I’m starting where I’ll be posting a new way in which I made coffee. Some “recipes” may be good, others might be awful. I’ll post a reflection/rating of sorts at the end of each of these posts, but you’re welcome to try the experiments out for yourself. And if you have a creation of your own, hashtag your post with #coffeeexperiments and/or send me a message about it (:
