Cinnamon Pinch Coffee

The coffee we have at the house is delicious! Raven, despite what he wants to believe is sort of a coffee snob and I can't blame him. Since drinking whole bean "Motor City Blend" coffee (local-Fair trade organic from Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company) my expectations have changed. During this weeks 3 day work seminar they offered complimentary breakfast, lunch, and snacks. However the coffee in the morning was blaH. Usually they serve Starbucks at the hospital but we were off campus and catered by some unknown company. I rarely add sugar but had to add several packets so my tastebuds could withstand the lack of flavor. I learned my lesson and ended up drinking tea or brewing my own the next couple of days.

Anyhow today I decided to try adding cinnamon to my coffee bean grounds to see if I could mimic the smell and flavor of a local restaurants. It turned out pretty good. I recommend a pinch of cinnamon if you want to try something new or run out of milk or creamer. I wonder if it will make icky tasting coffee taste better? However I'm not willing to experiment.
