Testing Viral TikTok Coffee Videos and Hacks

Today, we're going back to my roots as a content creator on TikTok. Over the past two years, I've seen numerous coffee hacks and trends on the platform, and in this video, I'll be testing out five of them. These hacks include the avocado latte, using a soap dispenser as a milk frother, melting chocolate bars into espresso, brewing coffee with whole cinnamon sticks, and brewing coffee with milk in the water reservoir. So, let's dive in and see how these trends hold up.

Avocado Latte Hack

The first hack we'll be attempting is the avocado latte. This trend involves mashing up half an avocado, coating a glass rim with honey, adding ice, milk, and double espresso, and then mixing it all together. While the aesthetics of this drink are pleasing, the taste can be a bit strange due to the occasional presence of avocado chunks. Overall, I would rate this hack a 4 out of 10.

Soap Dispenser Milk Frother Hack

Next up is the soap dispenser milk frother hack. This hack suggests using a clean soap dispenser with a nozzle top as a makeshift milk frother. However, I must emphasize that using a soap dispenser for milk frothing is not recommended as it can lead to serious damage to your coffee machine. While this hack may work in terms of frothing milk, it is not worth the risk. I would rate this hack a 2 out of 10.

Melting Chocolate Bars into Espresso Hack

The third hack involves melting chocolate bars into espresso. This trend is quite popular on TikTok, and it can be visually appealing. However, in terms of taste, it is just like melting chocolate into coffee. While it's okay, it's not exceptional. I would rate this hack a 5 out of 10.

Brewing Coffee with Cinnamon Sticks Hack

The fourth hack we'll be testing is brewing coffee with whole cinnamon sticks. This trend aims to infuse the coffee with a cinnamon flavor. While it does result in a stronger cinnamon taste compared to using powdered cinnamon, it may not be everyone's preference. I give this hack an 8 out of 10 for achieving what it sets out to do.

Brewing Coffee with Milk in Water Reservoir Hack

The last and most risky hack we'll be attempting is brewing coffee with milk in the water reservoir. I want to emphasize that this hack should NOT be attempted as it can damage your coffee machine irreversibly. Putting milk in the water reservoir can cause it to spoil and create unpleasant flavors. I would rate this hack a negative 5 out of 10.
