What’s in the Jot Bakeshop Sampler?

The Jot Bakeshop Sampler typically includes a selection of Jot’s most popular flavors, such as Original Ultra Coffee, Mocha 20x Coffee Concentrate, and Pumpkin Spice Limited Batch. Each bottle is highly concentrated, meaning a little goes a long way—perfect for infusing batters, frostings, and glazes with robust coffee flavor.

What sets these samplers apart is their versatility. You can use them not just for drinks but as a liquid flavoring in recipes. The concentrates are designed to dissolve easily into wet ingredients, ensuring even distribution without clumps. This makes them an ideal pantry staple for anyone who loves coffee-infused desserts.

• Each bottle makes up to 14 cups of coffee, so you get plenty of product for both drinking and baking.
• Flavors like Mocha and caramel-ultra-coffee-concentrate-1-d29164d2a9c39dacd8d9cd2a-142263">Caramel Ultra Coffee Concentrate add sweetness and complexity to chocolate-based treats.

How to Use Coffee Concentrate for Baking

Using coffee concentrate in baking is straightforward. Replace part of the liquid in your recipe (such as water or milk) with an equal amount of concentrate. For most recipes, start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust to taste. Because the concentrate is sweetened, you may need to reduce the sugar in your recipe slightly.

For frostings and glazes, a teaspoon or two can transform a simple vanilla buttercream into a mocha dream. You can also brush concentrate onto cake layers for extra moisture and flavor. The key is to experiment—start small and build up to your preferred intensity.

• When baking with coffee concentrate, reduce other liquids by the same amount to maintain the right consistency.
• Try adding a tablespoon of Mocha 20x Coffee Concentrate to brownie batter for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor.

Flavor Review: What to Expect

We tested the Original Ultra Coffee and Mocha 20x Coffee Concentrate in various baked goods. The Original is bold and slightly sweet, with a clean coffee taste that doesn’t get lost in batters. It’s perfect for tiramisu, coffee cakes, and even savory rubs for a unique twist.

The Mocha concentrate is a standout for chocolate desserts—it adds a fudgy richness that elevates brownies and cookies. The Pumpkin Spice Limited Batch is a seasonal treat that brings warm spices to muffins and quick breads. Overall, the flavors are well-balanced and not overpowering, making them easy to incorporate into a wide range of recipes.

• For a quick glaze, mix powdered sugar with a splash of Caramel Ultra Coffee Concentrate and a little milk.
• Store opened bottles in the fridge to maintain freshness and flavor.

Jot’s Bakeshop Samplers are a fantastic investment for coffee-loving bakers. They offer convenience, versatility, and delicious flavor that can transform your desserts. Whether you’re making a simple glaze or a layered cake, these concentrates are a must-try. We highly recommend picking up a sampler pack to explore the possibilities.
