Coffee's lime-light and my brilliant husband

I need to give coffee its time in the limelight, since I featured tea in my last post and because, after all, I am a coffee snob.

In case you didn't know this already.... 

• Espresso {coffee with water filtered through - very quickly.  Brew is very strong.}
• Drip {coffee with water filtered through - slower than espresso.  Brew is not as strong as espresso.}
• Americano {brewed with equal parts of espresso and water.} 
• Latte {espresso shots with steamed milk.}
• Cappuccino {espresso shots with steamed milk & foam with milk/foam in equal portions}.

Lattes are delicious.  Lattes made with creamy, delicious goat milk are marvelous and addicting.
Lately, however, I've been enjoying the understated Americano "with room".  "With room - leaves room for a splash of half & half or goat milk. 

The other day my husband topped my Americano with a sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon.
BRILLIANT!  It was just the touch. It gives it a little special flavor without sweetener. 

When I was in college, I used to brew up a pot of coffee with a teaspoon of cinnamon in with the grounds, but I had forgotten just how yummy that was. 

I love it so much that I switched out my salt and pepper shakers so I could have them available for cinnamon and nutmeg.

It's delish.  So, if you are tiring of your regular cup o' joe, switch it up a little and add a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg.
