The instant pot is a versatile kitchen appliance for making all sorts of meals, snacks, desserts, and foods. If you are looking for different ways to use your instant pot with unusual but yummy recipes, here are a few to try that are inspired by and incorporate your favorite caffeinated beverage.
Coffee Concentrate
One great idea to use your instant pot in a way that is different but uses coffee is to make it into a concentrate. Using the right servings and ratio of your favorite coffee mix and water, you will be able to extract all the flavors through the pressurization of your hotpot. During the summer months, you want something cold to make and drink, and having coffee concentrate will make iced coffees easy to mix and fast to serve. Add water, ice, and your choice of dairy or cream substitutes to create your favorite iced beverage.
Coffee Cake
When you talk about cakes and other baked goods, most of the time, these food snacks and desserts often pair perfectly with coffee. Although you associate them together, you don’t often see them in the same ingredients list. The coffee is more often meant for sipping while you snack on a baked good that compliments your hot drink. Coffee cake brings this ideal pairing together in one savory, delectable. Try including a cup of coffee into the mixture to give you that combined taste out of your cake.
Coffee Flan
Flan is a more sweet and decadent dessert than you would find in other desserts, creamier than its cake counterparts. It is often made with a caramel-heavy flavour and taste in mind, so a surprising and delicious coffee twist. Like the coffee cake, you will add some coffee powder to your ingredients, creating a delightful and flavorful dessert.

Coffee Roast
Straying away from the desserts and sweets, a roast is an unusual pairing for coffee. However, the strange combination makes for a surprisingly palatable dish, filling and mouth-watering. You will add cups of coffee where you would typically add a stock to your recipe, allowing the caffeine flavors to cook the roast, giving it that distinct aromatic taste. The flavor of your favorite caffeine is enough to provide you with that familiar taste without feeling as though it overpowers the dish, taking away from the roast itself.
Coffee Creamer
When you need to add creamer or dairy into your coffee, consider the idea of making your own. With how versatile the instant pot is, it is no surprise that you can easily make the suitable creamer in your very own instant pot. Remember to choose flavors that you prefer and compliment your coffee cup just how you like it.
For those addicted to caffeine, you know that you can never get enough of the beautiful smelling aroma or the intense flavor that comes with it. There are many ways to satisfy your craving, and with a little bit of creativity, you can add some more coffee into your life.
