I'm a starbucks junkie and love lattes, pretty much all coffee, really; this recipe is very delicious. I've made it a few different ways, because I am low carbing. I use only half to 1 tsp. Honey, and I've also tried it with a little cream added to the coco milk mixture. With or without the cream it's very tasty, and I love the peppery kick.

Sorry, but this was the worst cup of coffee I have ever had and I usually like things with a twist. Not this one.

I hate to give this such a bad review, but I was really disapointed in the result. I love spice and coconut so I was really excited to try this, but it just wasn't very good. I followed everything as written, however I did use lite coconut milk, which may have made a difference. I didn't think it had much of a flavor other than coffee with a bit of spice. The coconut wasn't very strong and I didn't taste the clove or cinnamon at all. It may have been that the coffee pot brewed so quickly that the spices didn't have a chance to filter through. I won't make this again.

Very creamy, sweet with a hint of cider-like flavor! I used about 3 tbs of coffee grounds instead of 2 and added a hint of ground nutmeg into the grounds. Perfect for someone who strives to eat more naturally, is lactose intolerant or even Paleo, like myself! Even the non-paleo boyfriend approved. I will definitely make this again! plus it smells so good! mmm!

This is a tasty cup of coffe. My husband didn't care to try this recipe, and since some reviews thought the coffee was too weak I used an already brewed cup of coffe. I put 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, 1/4 tsp cinnamon & 1 clove in a tea bag. I poured the coffee over it & let it steep a little. Then I heated the coconut milk & honey to mix in with it. it turned out tasty. It's probably better with the spices brewed into the coffee though, but I'll make this again. Thanks for the recipe.

had to make a few changes, but enjoyed it anyway. Will try it the original way, next time. Instead of crushed red pepper, I used Cayenne pepper. I didn't have a cinnomon stick so i added about 1/2 tsp of ground cinnomon. I think it was a little on the weak side (for cinnomon). I wondered about the 2 whole cloves, but went with it anyway. I didn't find them to overpower the flavor. Infact, there is a spice flavor, but it isn't overwhelming at all. I bearly noticed the pepper (only because I knew to look for it), my husband didn't notice it at all. This is a fun drink I would consider doing again! though I want to do it with whip and cinn on top next time.

Yum! I'm drinking this right now. It really hits the spot. I found this recipe when I was going to make coffee and realized I was out of milk but had a can of coconut milk on hand. I didn't have cinnamon stick so I used 1/2 teaspoon ground and it was good but I will try the stick next time since I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!

I like the idea of this, but I didn't care for the cloves, and the honey was too sweet for my taste (I'd prefer it less sweet, and I'd use agave or sugar). Also, this makes weak coffee as written. It's a good start, though!
