This coffee syrup is basically a 2 to 1 ratio of sugar to coffee, and you boil it to a thick syrup. A person who tasted the final dish said it tasted like espresso!

What kind of effects would it get from different kinds of sugar? Would brown sugar give it a molasses taste, for example?

Would different coffees have any effect on the coffee syrup?

    Could you please try to provide a link, or just add in the actual recipe since I'm sure it's just a few ingredients? We're happy to edit and make things pretty, but there are a bunch of coffee syrup recipes on food.com and it's hard to tell which kind you're talking about.

Coffee syrup, like anything else cooked, will taste of the ingredients used. If you use brown sugar it will syrupy and have a molasses flavor, if you use floral honey it will taste of it. If you use a richer coffee bean it will have a richer coffee taste.

    Also, how you treat the sugars during syrup making matters - eg if acid is added, you get more inversion and a more honey-like taste.

    That's a matter of taste @AbrahamRay, completely subjective and it depends on what you want.

    I would recommend to start with plain sugar and experiment with some of the inversion and caramelization effects you can get by using different cooking methods :)
