Cheeky little 2am affogato using cold brew à la Chef John. 1:9 ratio. Equal parts by weight coffee and ice cream. Not really that great if I'm being honest. There is no temperature contrast between hot coffee and cold icecream. It's just all cold, and the watery coffee freezes on the surface of the icecream. The coffee flavour is more muted compared to the Moka affogatos I've had and the sweetness of the icecream obscures the flavour of the coffee. It's very similar to those coffee milk shakes / slushies available at chain coffee shops. Probably won't make it again. It's surprising how much different it is than a fresh Moka affogato. Also strange since I don't dislike cold brew, but this definitely leaves much to be desired.
