The website of the producer of this coffee liquor is useless for getting info about this product. Some digging around on 3rd party sites reveals that it’s made of 70% Arabica from South America and 30% Robusto from Africa, and that 3 different coffees are made in a giant moka machine (thus unfiltered) and blended. One source says it’s “steeped in grain alcohol, blended and sweetened with sugar. No coffee aromas, chocolate, extracts or distilled additives are added.”

I cannot find any direct info as to what spirit is used. Coffee liquors are all over the map (rum, jenever, tequila, brandy, vodka, whisky, etc). If the source claiming use of grain alcohol is correct, I suppose that rules out rum, tequila, & brandy. Whiskey and jenever have a clear character. So I’m tempted to assume vodka is in play. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Grain alcohol probably just means everclear.
