White Coffee Preparation and Recipes
So, you want to make some white coffee. WARNING! White coffee contains about 3x as much caffeine as French Roast coffee (by volume), and when prepared as drip coffee you will have a brew LOADED WITH CAFFEINE! If you have high blood pressure or other medical condition you should consult your physician prior to drinking white coffee (or any coffee).
Espresso Method
This is the preferred method of preparing white coffee. As you can see, we have pre-ground your white coffee to a fine, espresso grind. This coffee is very dense and will expand dramatically. It is best to loosley fill your portafilter basket about half full. Shake it down and even, but DON'T TAMP. Hit your brew button for about 2 seconds and turn it off. Wait about 10 seconds, and then pull your shot. The waiting time allows the white coffee to swell up. The shot will flow rapidly. A normal espresso double shot should take about 25 seconds to pull, but a white coffee double will only take about 8 seconds, and that's if you let the coffee swell up as mentioned previously.
Some people like to flow a full couple ounces of water through the white coffee, then throw that away. They then keep the shot from a second go around. All this does is allows the coffee to swell, but we feel it is a waste. If you want to use this method, we suggest you keep the first round for granitas!
Drip Coffee Preparation
PLEASE READ! Preparing white coffee as drip can be a bit of a hit and miss affair. The coffee swells so much during brewing that you have to be careful to avoid overflowing grounds. We do not recommend that you use a Bunn brewer, or any type of pour over brewer. There are even some fast brewing drip brewers on the market that will overflow your grounds. If you use a typical drip brewer, such as Cuisinart, Mr. Coffee, etc., you should be fine.
We figure if you're making white coffee you want the caffeine. Please note that preparing white coffee as drip coffee will extract a good majority of the caffeine, and trust us, there's A LOT OF CAFFEINE in white coffee. To make a strong 12 cup pot of white coffee, measure out 7 (level) tablespoons into your brewer's filter. Note that the white coffee will swell up to about twice its original volume. So, if 7 tablespoons nearly fills your filter, you will need to reduce the amount. Use a full pot of fresh, clean water and brew. It is wise to observe your brewer the first time you prepare white coffee. If the grounds start to overflow, unplug your coffee maker immediately.
The resulting brew will be a cloudy green liquid that smells of peanut butter. The flavors are not even reminiscent of dark coffee, and the flavors are rather mild. Don't be fooled by the mellow taste. The brew is LOADED WITH CAFFEINE!
