A question ..coffee ess , is it something you buy already made up by the coffee area, or is it an essence found by the vanilla ess..or is it something you make up using 1 tsp instant coffee to 1 tablespoon of boiling water?

winnie15, if you are looking for coffee essence at the supermarket, look for Bushells Coffee & Chicory Essence which can be found with the other coffees and/or in the baking aisle.
If you have a Rawleigh dealer nearby he/she could also get their brand of coffee essence for you - have a look at:- http://www.rawleighs.info
Hope that helps.:-))

you may not find it in supermarkets..its usually essence which is chemically enhanced flavour basically. Try on Trademe

if its for a coffee cake or it actually asks for coffee essense it is the bushels one, its also lovely as a hot cup of coffee made with milk, before coffee became available in the instant form it is today my grandmother used to make us one! gosh I'm old I also remember the horse and cart delivering her milk!!

Plenty of coffee recipes you can just use a shot of espresso or instant.No need to buy something expensive for one recipe.

i had a look at the supermarket today, a bottle of that bushells is $9 .. i made some coffee muffins with 1 tsp of coffee to 1 Tb of water but you could hardly taste the coffee once cooked. The muffin recipe was too runny and too sweet, wouldn't do it again, but will bake a coffee cake and invest in the bushells in a few weeks time.

although it is expensive when you use it in baking you only need a small amount, a couple of drops in the icing, so the bottle lasts forever.
