I've noticed a few times when I've accidentally contaminated
my chocolate with some freshly ground coffee from my coffee grinder, that it is a pleasing combination. Whymper (in his famous book) mentions the use of coffee as a flavor additive to chocolate. He recommends its use at levels below which it is discernable as coffee, of course, but I suppose the more richly burnt notes of coffee mesh well with certain chocolate flavors which would make it a good additive (perhaps as a substitute for over-roasting the cacao beans -- thus giving you the best of both worlds). I haven't tried any of the coffee-flavored, high-cacao-content chocolates. I don't want to waste time sampling the losers. Who makes the best ones? |
