Used in a lot of baking recipes (cakes, brownies and frosting) as well as sauces, espresso powder is incredibly easy to make. We even use it for a delicious Espresso Custard to fill donuts.

1 cup dark roasted whole coffee/espresso beans

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F

Place whole beans* on an unlined baking sheet, spread evenly

Bake in oven for about 1 hour, until they are lightly toasted and dried.

Remove from oven and allow to cool

Grind into a fine powder using espresso (fine) grind setting on your Grind Select.

*Alternately, you can grind beans prior to placing in the oven, then regrind again for a finer, powder consistency. Just be careful the grinds do not burn during the baking process.
