Posted by admin on 01 Jun 2009 | Tagged as: Krups Premium Coffee Maker
With the economy still taking its toll on many of us we are always trying to find a way to save ourselves a few pennies now and then. It is great to know that you can still enjoy your favorite coffee drinks without having to go down to the nearest coffee house.
Yes, it is true that in some ways it may not taste exactly the same, but, the one difference may be the type of roast that is used for the coffees that are used in the drinks.
If you are like the many that enjoy the coffee houses for their flavored coffee drinks, then here are some quick recipes for you to use.
You don’t have to have an espresso machine to make them either, not unless you want a stronger flavor of coffee, if so, you can pick up an inexpensive machine for around $20.00 at a super center near you. There are some great models available from Mr. Coffee, Krups, GE and more.
Now lets get started on a coffee drink. Do you love that wonderful flavor of a Mocha coffee, never fear you can get it right here.
You need: 2 to 3 ounces of hot coffee, chocolate syrup, 1 to 1 1/2 cups of milk depending on the size cup you are using, whipped topping.
To do: In a mug, pour about 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup and the 2-3 ounces of coffee, mix well with a spoon. In another cup or measuring cup, place your milk in the microwave to warm for approximately 2 minutes. This will give the milk a nice steamed flavor. Pour into your mug with the coffee and syrup mixture.
Top with some whipped topping another drizzle of chocolate syrup and you are done. Now its time time to enjoy.
This drink can be made with the caramel or butterscotch syrup for ice cream, these are great for flavored coffee drinks. If you want a simple vanilla coffee drink, instead of the syrup, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coffee.
What a lot of people don’t realize is the fact that you don’t have to go to the great expense of paying nearly $5.00 or more for a great cup of coffee drinks. And that is what they are drinks, not coffee itself.
Many have mistakenly called these drinks coffee rather than what they actually are. This of course has happened because of certain coffee houses and what their employees tell customers when they walk through the door to order.
Coffee drinking can be an adventure in itself so what ever you do, enjoy your drinks at home, save yourself a few pennies where you can. You never know what may happen next. Many stores are now carrying regional based coffee beans, this means that the beans of taken in the pollens from the environment they have been grown in. Each country offers a little something different. Coffees from Costa Rica you may taste a bit of a nutty flavor, this is because of the nut plantations that are actually grown near the coffee bean plantations.
When you buy your beans at a grocery store or market, they will cost a bit more per pound, but, a pound does go a long way. Small bean grinders can be picked up for around $20.00 at many super stores.
