Coffee and I have been BFFs ever since I can remember. Whether it was stealing sips of coffee from my dad’s steaming mug of coffee or my mother’s tall glass of iced java, I knew from early on that coffee was my thing. My adoration of coffee goes beyond the mug as well as I often love incorporating it into recipes. Whether it is sweet and using coffee to add a bit of kick to a chocolate recipe or taking it on a savory route with perhaps a coffee rub on a fabulous burger, coffee is versatile.

Can I make coffee? I have to say that the jury might agree that I am much better than when I first started on my culinary journey. I no longer make cop coffee thanks to SL teaching me how to brew the perfect cup. I have had a single cup brewer for the longest and finally decided the time has come to upgrade to a quality coffee brewer. As I trust their products, I knew I had to look at KitchenAid’s line of craft coffee brewers. What I love about KitchenAid is their appliances are made to last. Trust me when I say I am tough on my kitchen tools so I wanted a coffee maker that can take some heavy use but still would look gorgeous in the kitchen….

I have a divinely warming mug of Spicy Mocha with Chocolate Whipped Cream to share with you today.

I’m quite the coffee gal – and if espresso is in the mix – even better. There’s nothing like some fantastic espresso percolating on the stovetop. Melded with some warm chocolatey milk spiced with cinnamon and chilies – even better. Top it with a creamy chocolatey whipped cream – perfection….
