Whoa!!! That’s completely new to me. Egg in coffee?! Strange, but I’d be willing to give it a try. Hey if other cultures enjoy it, why would I right?

I’ve never heard of this before. It sounds so strange!

I am from Minnesota too and I remember old duffers making this when I was a kid on walleye fishing and deer hunting trips. It was something I never saw made at home, but up in the north woods somewhere.

At first an egg in the coffee sounds a little crazy (almost as crazy as cheese dipped in coffee;)), but after watching the video, it makes perfect sense. I’m not a coffee drinker but perhaps I’ll try making this for my caffeine loving hubby one day. Also would be fun to make for guests!

I’ve NEVER heard of this. Sounds freaky, yet interestingly appealing. Wow.

How interesting! I have never had an egg coffee, adding the egg shells is a neat idea too. I’m looking forward to trying it, thanks for sharing the recipe!

I have heard of egg shells being put inside the coffee pot, but never the contents of the egg itself. How interesting! Some wine-makers use egg whites to clarify their wines, so I can see how egg might also help mellow the bitterness of coffee. I’ll have to give this a whirl to see if there really is a difference.

Sophie – thanks for the kind words and the award, what an honor.

Erica – glad you liked it.

Lisa – Its funny, I raised the idea on a food and culture site I’m also involved with and a few folks said, they were so accustomed to it that they did not realize it was unique until I raised the question. Funny how you get so close to something, its nice to take a step back.

Zerrin – thanks! Yes, I like my coffee and I like my eggs, but not often mixed together.

Gastro – I’d be curious as to what your MIL has to say

Lisa – I think your right, plus the added bonus of reducing acidity in the coffee.
