Colour Mill Coffee Oil-Soluble Colourant 20 ml
Coffee shade, 20 ml bottle for oil-based mixtures
Colour Mill Coffee evokes freshly extracted espresso and roasted coffee beans. This concentrated oil-soluble food colouring is designed for oil-based pastry mixtures: melted white chocolate, ganache, buttercream and sugar paste softened by the warmth of your hands. It is often used for coffee- and indulgent-breakfast-themed layer cakes and industrial-chic wedding cakes.

Directions for use

- Typical dosage: 2 to 4 drops per 250 g for a pastel shade, up to 20 drops for a dark shade
- Mix for 30 to 60 seconds, then leave to rest for 30 minutes: the shade develops fully as it rests

Frequently asked questions
Does this colouring work in melted chocolate?
Yes, that is its primary use: it is formulated for oil-based mixtures (white chocolate, ganache, cocoa butter) and disperses without lumps in a tempered melted mixture.
What dosage should I use for a highly saturated shade?
Start with 5 to 10 drops per 250 g of mixture and adjust in increments of 2 to 3 drops until you achieve the desired shade, allowing the mixture to rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
Yes, the squeezable cap includes a dropper orifice: a simple squeeze dispenses one precise drop.
