I haven't posted much about coffee here. Today, I was thinking that I want to try to learn to make a greater variety of coffees. I own a Krups Il Cafe Duomo combination espresso/coffee maker, and I probably use the espresso side every month or two. I've gotten into the habit of just making Starbucks' ground Columbian coffee about 4-5 times a week. It's just so easy and tastes so good. I used to grind the Starbucks bean coffee, but I've found I go through a bag of the ground stuff quickly enough for it not to start going bad. I keep it in the freezer. Grinding adds too much time and mess to the weekday coffee ritual.

I decided to Google for some interesting coffee recipes and found some good ones here. I'm going to try and come up with a good weekday latte that isn't too time-consuming. Of course, just using and cleaning the espresso-maker-side of my Duomo eats up time that wouldn't otherwise be required if I just made coffee...

I'm a sucker for both Coke and coffee. If I had to give up one, it would be Coke. Coffee has better personality, and tastes much better with cheesecake.
