Hot Coffee Drinks To Knock Your Socks Off! Or Perhaps You Want To Keep Them On!

Over the summer we've been asking readers to submit their own iced coffee recipes, but with summer's end upon us! The weather is already cooling down, and the nights turning a little chilly. So it is the perfect time to start experimenting with different ways for making your favorite hot coffee drinks.

Your Fall/Winter Coffee Collection

It's the perfect time to start exploring your fall/winter coffee menu, and that's what PurelyCoffeeBeans.com aims to do! Of course, you'll still find the trusted: recipes for latte, cappuccino, espresso, and even Cafe Mocha. All of these are delicious drinks, so don't get me wrong!

But I'm really interested in those unusual hot coffee recipes that you created but have never shared with others. Now is your chance!

Use What You Have Now

There are many ways to make decent hot coffee drinks with traditional coffee makers: such as the drip coffee maker, the French press, the espresso maker, the stovetop coffee maker, and even just the plain old filter cone!

All of these methods can make great coffee no matter what kind of equipment you have! You don't have to go out and buy more expensive coffee making equipment or supplies, especially when things are a little tight! Just use what already have!

Perhaps the only thing I would suggest is either getting your coffee ground professionally for you, or buying a simple manual coffee grinder, if you want to do that at home. It's a little more work, but if your budget is restrained right now, this is a great way to grind your own coffee without mashing it in a mill.

Upgrade Your Coffee

Now that I've saved you a bundle of money on your next expensive coffee maker, don't be afraid of upgrading your coffee beans. Spending a little more on your coffee can easily turn your average hot coffee drinks into an altogether heavenly experience!

I'm going to suggest, if I may be so 'bold' (excuse the coffee pun!), several upgrade routes that you can try for your upgrading your coffee experience:

Route 1: instant coffee to ground

Route 2: pre-ground to whole bean coffee

Many popular coffee brands are available in either ground or whole bean, such as Lavazza coffee and Melitta. If you buy whole bean coffee, you can grind it yourself or have it ground at the time of purchase! Now isn't that much fresher!

Route 3: upgrading your coffee brand

If you are a fan of the Simply Smooth series of coffee from Folgers, you may try a regional varietal such as Dominican Republic Coffee which also tends to be less acid and medium roast. You will perhaps end up paying more for your coffee, but the taste will be worth.

Make different coffee drinks

You may also want to try some different kinds of coffee drinks to help further your coffee knowledge! Drinks like the Flat White, the Irish Coffee, etc. all can be served hot.

You'll find that if you vary the coffee beans, the methods of making coffee, the types of milk or cream that you use, the sweetners, and huge variety of flavorings/toppings, a whole world of hot coffee drinks opens up for you! Now you've only go to decide what food to pair it with! Your call!

In the meantime...
