Simple Dessert Coffees

I've only made this with a percolator, never with my French press, but this is a tasty dessert coffee.

Coffee grounds of choice
Cinnamon
Water
Coffee maker

Mix cinnamon with coffee grounds. Make coffee as usual.

Alternatively, for a dessert coffee, melt four semi-sweet chocolate chips into piping hot cup of black coffee or a square and a half of semi-sweet baker's chocolate into a pot of coffee.

Both of these are good "afters" for a nice meal and are considerably lighter than many standard dessert. They pair well with seasonal fruit or small wedges of shortbread and long conversation.

I grate the cinnamon fresh into the fresh grounds. I believe that enhances the cinnamon flavor of the finished coffee. An added bonus of adding cinnamon to the grounds, rather than to the finished coffee, is that it doesn't change the color of the coffee/float on top, which I find to be visually unappealing.

Um..yeah. Now I want a pot of coffee. At nearly eight o'clock at night. :D
