Hubs and I prefer just a regular ol' cup of "joe" with cream, but occasionally we'll treat ourselves to a specialty coffee when we're out. I recently bought some coffee I wasn't crazy about so I thought it might be fun and interesting to try to make good use of it by disguising it with this recipe. I brewed it with brown sugar and we both added cream. It was pretty good! Since I drink my coffee with no sugar it was a little sweet for me but fine for hubs, and we both enjoyed the hint of cinnamon. This won't replace our basic coffee but it sure will help rescue a pound of coffee I don't care for. The aroma when it's brewing is wonderful too, something you won't achieve by just stirring in cinnamon and sugar once it's brewed!

I thought this was really good! My hubby didn't like it, but he doesn't like any flavored coffee. I'll just keep making it for me!

Great coffee for those cold, wet, depressingly yucky days (like today). I've had this coffee before but had forgotten about it until I stumbled across the recipe on here. I sweeten with sugar to my taste.

I used to be a big coffee drinker before the caffeine started making me totally crazy, so I haven't had "real coffee" in years. Decaf just doesn't taste the same, so I gave that up too. It was nice to find a simple recipe that would perk (no pun intended) my interest again for decaf. I eliminated the sugar step as I never used it anyway. Obviously, I'm not as "coffee savy" as most of the reviewers because I thought this was unique and really good. Topped with some fat free "Cool Whip" and a sprinkling of cinnamon, I felt as though I was having dessert.

This was ok, but why not just brew your coffee, add whatever sugar you want and add cinnamon and stir? It is really fun to add whipped cream on top and sprinkle additional cinnamon on top of that. I also like to garnish with a cinnamon stick.

This was okay, but don't know what all the noise is about. I've been doctoring my coffee cup with these type of ingredients for years. Other ideas: you can buy hazelnut and other flavored syrups at the grocery store in the coffee section. Also try: pumpkin pie or nutmeg spices, chocolate powder. Sugar to taste. Save yourself some $$ and do it yourself.

I've made this before using a slightly different method, and had never paid much attention to proportions...which sometimes resulted in the cinammon taste being SO strong, that the coffee was bitter. Thanks for figuring out the proportions for me...it was perfect!
