Hey there!
I appreciate your enthusiastic endorsement of Dalgona coffee! Your post is thorough and well-informed. I totally agree, it’s a fun and creative break from the usual lattes and cappuccinos. Especially in lockdown, these innovative ways of recreating coffee shop favorites at home are not just exciting but also therapeutic.
I must admit, I tried making Dalgona coffee a few times, it’s indeed quite a workout 😄 Having said that, mastering the perfect froth definitely feels like a personal victory.
One piece of advice I read somewhere and found really useful is that the froth becomes more stable if you whip everything up in a stainless-steel bowl. It’s all about getting that perfect emulsion of coffee, sugar and hot water.
To your original point about coffee shops, I have observed a similar pattern. Some innovative local places, always up for experimenting, do offer it. Major chains might not do it as much due to demand-supply factors but I’m sure if it becomes a permanent trend, they won’t be far behind.
Bottom line: If you’re a coffee enthusiast like us, it’s definitely worth a try at least once! Happy brewing indeed!
Cheers!
