Heat milk and water to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast and let sit until bubbly.
Mix together all other ingredients, knead for 10 mins until elastic and then cover and set aside until doubled in size.
Knock back after dough has risen. Divide into balls and flatten. Place a cube of butter into each ball and close up. Cover and set aside to rise again.
Prepare the topping. Dissolve coffee in just enough hot water (1 tbsp or so). Whisk ingredients together until smooth, and a pipeable consistency. Pipe in a circular fashion onto the top of the ball.
Bake at 175 degrees for 20 minutes.
