I usually take my coffee black, whether it's from the technivorm or the nespresso.

Looking for a change of pace, it seems that adding cinnamon or nutmeg is popular.

I tried cinnamon. I don't get it. It doesn't dissolve and it tends to just either stick to the sides of the mug or clump up. I end up drinking / chewing clumps of cinnamon at the end. Either I'm doing it wrong or I just don't find the appeal.

I'll try nutmeg hopefully with better results.

Try putting a few pieces of broken up cinnamon stick in the brewing basket with your coffee, not ground sprinked in your cup.

I've been adding a tsp of Swiss Miss (hot chocolate) to my coffee lately. I like it.

Bourbon, Baileys, Kahlua, cocoa mix - all already regulars for night time coffee. Smile

Adding cinnamon to the basket instead of the mug - I'll try that tip.

I went the other way. For decades I put cream in my coffee. Seven or eight years ago I discovered that I liked it better black.



Serious about crackers.

That makes it into a cafe mocha, doesn’t it? I treat myself to that once in a while with some whipped cream.

I put a touch of flavored syrup in mine - toffee or salted caramel usually

Bourbon cream works as well

I drink coffee black 99% of the time. But in the winter I do like to add Nestle's hot chocolate mix, and a bit of sugar. I have also added maple syrup, and malted milk. I can't drink regular hot chocolate anymore, it has to have coffee in it.

I add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the portafilter (on top of the grounds). Seems to do the trick

Cardamom. Makes it taste like a Turkish coffee. Quite good. Put it in the grounds as it brews. A little goes a long way.

I am a weak man when it comes to how I like my coffee. I usually doll it up pretty good with a fancy creamer, as I can't stomach it naturally. My son likes a strong black coffee and occasionally he will put in a little spiced caramel for flavor.
