Homemade coffee drinks
I know we have lots of coffee drinkers on this board You know who you are What special coffees do you make at home that are as good or better than the coffee shop version? Even if you just add some store-bought flavoring, tell us what you like!
I'm hoping to get some ideas for my husband to save him the time, money & hassle of stopping for coffee on his way to work. They used to have a Flavia machine in his office & he got spoiled by it but they don't have it any more so we need a better option. |

Re: Homemade coffee drinks
my ILs have an expresso machine, so this morning I had a latte, but I added Hershey's lite chocolate syrup AND light peppermint flavored whipped cream. It was delicious. And I don't really like coffee....

Re: Homemade coffee drinks
I peppermint mochas. Like HEART
I've found that, using my Keurig maker, a k-cup of newman's own extra bold, a good splash of peppermint mocha creamer and two packets of sweetner (comes in a green box, at a loss for the name ATM) makes one YUMMY cup! I really don't long for takeout coffe the days I make that. The other kinds of coffee I have don't cut it the same way. for more! |

Re: Homemade coffee drinks
I like adding pumpkin pie spice to my beans, then creamer or evaporated milk.

Re: Homemade coffee drinks
I made this Gingerbread coffee syrup last year. I'd add more ginger to it. In fact, I reviewed it and said

Re: Homemade coffee drinks
I cook sweetened condensed milk down to a caramel and keep it in the fridge to add to our lattes.

Re: Homemade coffee drinks
I bought the caramel macchiato mix from the fridge in the store and YUM. It saves me $5 every day.

Re: Homemade coffee drinks
I use our espresso machine to make mochas. Instead of using chocolate syrup I use a powdered chocolate milk mix. Just a spoonful, add in some steamed milk and a double shot of espresso and you have one good drink.

Re: Homemade coffee drinks
I haven't tried this one yet, but it looks great. I'm sure you could sub any milk substitute. I love pumpkin spice anything!
