WOW! that sounds amazing.
Neat little experiment. Will play with this and get back to you with my results as well. I too wonder about this.
That said, I'm so sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. In the future, I'll try to stay by my computer and watch for you ...
The mere presence of crema says nothing. The worst 10 second shots I've seen had "crema". Look at these pics and tell us which picture best represents what you are seeing:

More pics would be nice.

I'm going to give that a whirl as soon as I'm back in the US! How do you know how long to keep the beans simmer in the syrup?
Have you tried this method with other ingredients?

Lorenzo - I like your thinking! Could you explain in a little more detail how you've experimented with such ingredients? Did you have to stir the chocolate in to the drink after pouring the coffee/espresso?
I'm also very interested to hear more a...
Make your own syrups. You have control over flavor and ingredients.
Finely chopped single origin chocolate pieces are fun for new/different tasting mochas. Add some ancho/chipotle powder for a mexican mocha. Steam your milk with mint leaves (in t...
Earlier today I posted the above post about the strange experience I had recently with polishing an espresso puck. It brought up some more in depth questions than I thought I would have.
As of right now, I still have not had any responses to the ...
I haven't tried honey yet, but it's on the list of to do's!
What about vanilla, mocha, peppermint (for the holiday season)? What about caramel, hazelnut, etc?
I have to admit, I do really like the taste of espresso with honey.
