I hover over the Keurig maker this morning watching the liquid stream out and make small sputtering and splashing sounds. The stream looks almost frothy as it flows into my waiting cup. The smell of sweet coconut drifts off the liquid in my cup. The liquid itself is a reddish hue around the edges of… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 6

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 5
The dominant smell is apple. It is almost a green apple smell with a sugary overlay. The taste is reminiscent of caramel and it leaves a lingering candied aftertaste. The temperature is just right and each sip of my apple crisp macchiato slides down smooth. If we were having coffee, I would share with you… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 5

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 4
Is a cobbler a branch on the pie-family tree? Shoulder shrug. For the purpose of my Pie Flavoured Coffee Series I am including this fruity dessert here. The exotic smell of blueberry fills the kitchen. Its sweet and fruity odour is the dominant sniff in this coffee. There is no sweetness in the flavour. It… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 4

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 3
The powerful smell of nutmeg is the star scent in my mug this morning. It is sweet and earthy smelling. There is no hint of sweetness in the sip instead it is both warm and earthy in flavour. Yet it is a spicy sip that if savoured can be described as a wash of fall… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 3

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 2
My coffee flavour is Grasshopper Pie. I have no idea what Grasshopper pies is. So, as I listen to the soft gurgle and trickle of my coffee brewing I do a fast Google search. Google shows a pastel coloured no-bake mousse pie with a chocolate crumb crust. That first sip reveals none of the flavour… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 2

I was drawn to a particular Keurig pod this morning. One of my favourtie flavours of pie is pecan. So when I saw pecan pie flavoured coffee I had to brew it. There is a buttery sweet odour to it. The colour in my mug is a classic deep rich brown. As I take that… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 1

Coffee in the pre-Christmas build up
The smell of sweet spices rises from my mug: ginger, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. A true gingerbread smell captured in a hot cup of coffee! That honey and molasses odour conjures up warm and cozy holiday feelings. My first sip of Brooklyn Bean Roastery Gingerbread Man brown sugar ginger coffee is no let down. Those… Continue reading Coffee in the pre-Christmas build up

Coffee’s wispy vapours
I sit quietly watching the steam rising form my mug. It is playful as it rolls and dances softly on the cooler air currents. There is potential for me to get lost in the steam this morning as my lazy mind rolls and dances with the wispy vapours. The window that provides my backdrop is… Continue reading Coffee’s wispy vapours

Trick-or-Treat and coffee please
There is a complex coffee roasted peanut smell rising from my coffee mug. My coffee this morning is Sundae’s peanut butter coffee. The very thought of peanut butter makes me crave that sweet, earthy and buttery flavour. I know that the creamy oily texture that both sticks and melts won’t be present in my coffee… Continue reading Trick-or-Treat and coffee please

Pink Pumpkin Vanilla Pumpkin Flavour Coffee
The name of this coffee made me wonder if the hot liquid in my cup would have a pink hue. It doesn’t, of course, but it is a lovely deep brown. The scent is bitter with notes of a woodsy vanilla. On second sniff I realize the woodsy notes are in fact seasonal spices with… Continue reading Pink Pumpkin Vanilla Pumpkin Flavour Coffee
