When you invite guests over for dinner, you will usually take the time and effort to plan a great meal. You will make sure that everything looks good, tastes great and yes, sometimes you will think about the nutritional value; especially if any of your friends are dieting. What is often left as an afterthought is the coffee.
How can coffee be an afterthought? It is the end note to every meal. To make your meal truly perfect, you need to make sure that your coffee is also excellent. This means no stale instant coffee for you and your guests. No coffee that’s been sitting around for the last hour. It calls for freshly brewed coffee from freshly ground beans – which is really easy to get now with so many coffee shops around.
If you want to be a little fancy, try some Amaretto Coffee. This flavorful brew is a hit with almond lovers. For those who love chocolate, the Belgian Coffee or Viennese Coffee make for an excellent finish to a great dinner. For those looking for coffee with a little spirit to it, serve some Irish coffee instead. Your brew will help end the night with a wonderful flourish.
