I need to add coffee flavor to a batch of my favorite buttercream, but I'm not sure the best way to go about it. I use Lauren Kitchens style "swiss meringue" buttercream, whereby you whip pasteurized egg whites with powdered sugar and then mix in your butter and vanilla. I've considered dissolving some espresso powder into a small amount of water and adding it at the end, but would it incorporate correctly? I also have some Lor-Ann coffee emulsion that I've never used and I was thinking I could replace half of the vanilla with that, maybe? Any help would be much appreciated! :)

I would use the Lor-Ann emulsion. Think that's your best bet.

The LorAnn coffee emulsion gives a nice flavour, I would go with that. I also throw in a bit of Kahlua (if the client doesn't have an issue with alcohol) or iced coffee.

I usually use instant espresso powder dissolved in a little hot water. It mixes in with no trouble.
