Amaretto Delight
- One cup strong coffee
- One cup of hot cocoa
- Two shot amaretto
Makes two cups. Top with whipped cream if desired. For a non-alcoholic version replace the amaretto with two drops almond flavoring and one drop of brandy flavoring.
Caffe Latte
Add steamed milk (150-170 F) to a freshly drawn shot of espresso (some like to add the shot of espresso last). Finish with a quarter inch of foamed milk. Pour slowly into the center of the cup. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate or cinnamon.
Caffe Mocha
Start with a long pour of mocha syrup to thoroughly coat the bottom of the cup. Follow with a shot of espresso and then add steamed milk (150-170 F). Crown with a generous scoop of whipped cream and lightly sprinkle with sweet ground cocoa.
Cafe Royale
Place a lump of sugar cube on a spoon and hold over a cup of hot black coffee. Pour an ounce of bourbon through the lump, which in turn runs into the coffee. Light the soaked sugar cube and let it burn out. Stir and serve.
Caramel Fudge Latte
Its basically a latte, except its got equal amounts of espresso and caramel fudge latte (not that weak syrup stuff). Best way to do this is put the caramel into your dosing pitcher when dosing, then stir it up and pour it into either a glass of hot milk (white or chocolate) or a glass of cold milk & ice. For some reason it tastes real good with skim milk... the whole milk and caramel together is almost too much.
Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans
- 1 bag of espresso beans or your favorite roasted coffee beans
- 1 bag of nestle chocolate chips

Place the sheet of wax paper over a cookie sheet. Place the espresso beans about 1/2 inch apart. Melt the chocolate either in a pan on the stove or in a microwave safe dish in the microwave. Spoon the melted chocolate over the beans and set them in the fridge to harden. For a more chocolaty bean let the first coat of chocolate dry then put on another coat.
Chocolate Orange:

Turkish Coffee - Method 1
For each cup of coffee, put three ounces of water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil over low heat. For each serving, stir in 1 heaping teaspoon of espresso grind coffee (the finest grind) and 1 teaspoon of sugar. When the coffee boils to a thick froth, remove the pan from the heat and stir. Repeat the boiling, frothing, and stirring again. Boil the coffee a third time and then serve. NOTES:
- An Arabian Mocha Sanani blend is the best coffee for this method.
- Do NOT over-boil - do NOT let the water start roiling.
- Although a sauce pan may be used, the traditional method uses a ibrik, a long-handled, tapered brass or copper Turkish coffee pot.
- When serving, first spoon a small amount of coffee into each preheated cup for good luck. Then fill the cups.
Turkish Coffee - Method 2
Always put Turkish Coffee grounds one full of teaspoon, to pot then add cup per people water then start to boil at simmer heat, after bubbles come up, fill half of the cups, boil once more, then serve to the cups, this helps the special cream/bubbles of the Turkish coffee to be still, if you boil it many times you will end with clear dark water of no blend or cream. The special pot used boiling is named as 'cezve', 'ibrik' is many centuries ago - used as water pot.
