In a bowl, mix together 110 grams of milk, 4 grams of instant dry yeast, 25 grams of sugar, 27 grams of eggs, 25 grams of unsalted butter, and 3 grams of salt. Knead the mixture well for 10 minutes to form a smooth dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, divide the dough into 5–6 equal pieces. Place a portion of the 48 grams of cold salted butter in each piece and shape them into balls. Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and let them rise at 27°C (80.6°F) for another hour.
-
Dissolve 3 grams of instant coffee in 5 grams of hot water. Set aside to cool.
-
In a separate bowl, combine 60 grams of sugar, 50 grams of unsalted butter, 40 grams of eggs, and 60 grams of all-purpose flour. Mix well, then add the cooled coffee mixture. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag.
