Sneak preview: A cinnamon vanilla dessert coffee recipe and a discussion about the bonds that “coffee” creates.
Coffee has a way of warming the heart as much as it warms the body.
In my family, coffee is not just a jump-start morning cup. It is a lifestyle. It is a verb. We are known for our “coffee time” because it is a tradition of bonding, problem solving, and celebrating life moments. When someone says “put the coffee on” we all start making calls to gather the troops and get the pot brewing because there is something to be discussed. Brainstorming will be required, solutions will be suggested, and a plan of action will be ready to carry out. All over a pot (or a few) of joe.

Coffee brings people together. Whether it’s strangers chatting in a coffee house, meeting for a first date, or boding with old friends, coffee is the magic potion that forms new bonds and makes existing ones stronger.
If you are a true die-hard coffee drinker, you need the right tools. Black and Decker is for the occasional drinker or one-cup-a-day freshman. True connoisseurs need a machine that is capable of keeping up with the demanding coffee lifestyle. One that keeps hot water ready at all times to brew an entire pot in three minutes. When you see these four letters you know this pot is ready to deliver the perfect cup whenever the call of duty arrives. (Yes, coffee is that serious).
And here it is : BUNN
This is the fastest 10-cup brewer on the market (based on Bunn research. More info in the link). If you are a coffee drinker, you need this coffee pot. Put it on your Christmas list. You’re welcome 😉
And while we are talking tools of the trade…If you want to keep your coffee hot, the Yeti Tumbler is the only choice. This is the Cadillac of coffee tumblers.
