The Red Eye coffee is a powerhouse drink designed for maximum energy and flavor.
It combines a regular cup of brewed coffee with a shot of espresso, creating a strong, aromatic beverage that keeps you alert and focused.
Perfect for early mornings, long nights, or when you simply need that extra kick, the Red Eye delivers intensity in every sip.
🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup (240 ml) freshly brewed coffee
- 1 shot (30 ml) espresso
- Optional: sugar or milk to taste
🛠️ Equipment
- Espresso machine or moka pot
- Drip coffee maker, French press, or pour-over setup
- Coffee mug
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Process
1. Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method — drip, pour-over, or French press all work well.
Choose a medium or dark roast for a full, rich flavor that complements the espresso.
2. Pull the Espresso Shot
While your brewed coffee is ready, make one shot of espresso (30 ml).
If you want a stronger version — often called a “Black Eye” — use two shots instead.
3. Combine the Two
Pour the espresso directly into the brewed coffee.
Stir gently to blend the flavors, or leave it slightly layered for a bolder start and smoother finish.
4. Customize and Serve
Add milk, cream, or sugar if desired — though many coffee lovers enjoy it black to savor the pure coffee intensity.
Serve hot and drink slowly to appreciate the balance of body and aroma.
💡 Tips for the Perfect Red Eye Coffee
- Use freshly ground beans for both the espresso and the drip coffee for the best flavor.
- Try single-origin beans if you want to highlight unique tasting notes.
- For a smoother taste, choose a medium roast espresso and a dark roast drip coffee.
- Want more energy? Add two shots of espresso — that’s called a Black Eye.
- If you add three shots, you’ve got the Dead Eye — only for the brave! ⚡
