Simple and refreshing summer coffee drink. We explored all aspects of the preparation with our friend Tomo Laca in the new Prague's cafe of Coffee Source coffee roasters.

nice production but i prefer coffee slushees to beat the heat. just brew, freeze & blend. no other ingredients or ice to dilute coffee flavor. maybe you can make a video about coffee slushees. thanks.
Thanks for an idea, we need to find out more!
Nice video, but you never mentioned the origin of Espresso Tonic. It was Koppi in Helsingborg at their former café! 😊
Yeah, it is in our article on the website. We asked Tomo but it was too long for this video. Thanks for mentioning though 🙏
European Coffee Trip Oh nice! Gonna check that out! 😊👌🏼

This makes me want to revisit Prague.
You should, it is full of beautiful cafes. We just visited Kafemat in Dejvice district.
Tomo mentions he uses “cold brew concentrate”. Is it something different than standard cold brew? What is the recipe?
Thanks for the question, we should also do a video about it, right?
So Tomo uses 170 grams of coffee to 800ml of water, grind size as for french press and keep it macerating for 12 – 24 hours.
For drinking as black coffee, you should dilute it 1:1 to 1:3 with water. Hope it helps!
I am asking from my experience: Is it normal to get a thickening fizzy foam when you pour your espresso shot over the tonic drink? I almost always have to remove it before drinking it. Any tip to get rid of it?
Happens to me when I pour the espresso too quickly, doesn’t happen if I do it super slowly specially over ice
you can filter your espresso 🙂 try aeropress or V60. But that is the point that cold brew is better in many ways 😉
This happens to me too. I think the espresso needs some time to cool down and you have to pour it very slowly over ice,
How do you make cold brew concentrate? DO you have ratios?
1(coffe):4(water), for concentrate. Not a rule, you can play with the ratios.
Have to give this a try
Just last month I made myself a tonic syrup using cinchona bark extract (filtered through a 5 micron filter) and some other spices and herbs and was joking around that I didn’t think it would mix well with coffee. Apparently I’m wrong and will have to try making this.
