Don't take your coffee black, or even with milk! Instead, try sweetened condensed milk! It's so creamy and sweet you will get addicted! I love the flavor it gives my coffee and I have to say that this is my favorite way to take it. You only need a couple of teaspoons per cup and you're set! You may not even need sugar or cream, depending on how sweet your tooth is.

Coconut cream will add an exotic flair to your coffee and strengthen the flavor. You can buy it in the can, or in a bottle with sweeteners already added. If you choose the canned format, you will need to add sugar or sweeteners to your coffee because coconut milk is very creamy but not very sweet.

Buy your own beans and grinder and grind your coffee fresh each day! You will be surprised by how much sharper the flavor is and how much better tasting it is altogether. It's much healthier to grind your own beans because they are all natural and you don't have all the preservatives that you would get in instant coffee.

With all the specialty coffee stores out there now, a lot of people just get their coffee on the run each morning. But don't miss a chance to experiment and invent your own unique flavor or coffee blend just for you! It's as much fun as tasty! Which is your favorite coffee idea?
