Anyone Else Put Cinnamon in Their Morning Coffee?

[MIGrandma]

I love flavored creamers in my coffee, but really hate the added calories.

So, I've been trying to think of something else to put in it to flavor it but not add calories. DH and I were watching an episode of "Two and a Half Men" last night and found out Berta puts cinnamon in the coffee, as Charlie said it tasted like Christmas. So I decided to try it this morning.

Added a cinnamon stick to my coffee and really like it.

Anyone else do that?

no, but that sounds good. I might have to try it.

Sometimes I put it in the filter basket with the grounds, and then the whole pot is flavored.

 

[Tracy Savage]

Yes, I love it, but ya ever notice it can make the grounds overflow?

Cinammon flavored coffee is good, I also put it in iced tea.

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

yup, cinnamon and nutmeg!!! YUM!

(and, it keeps down my cravings for cinnamon rolls!)

Ive been doing that for a while now, I use cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spices and vanilla extract. I usually use one spice/flavor at a time or I make a combination. Put it in with the coffee and mix the spices up with the grounds.

We do a 50/50 blend of French Roast and Cinnamon coffee. Very smooth!

My Mom has always added cinnamon to coffee. She just sprinkles ground cinnamon on top of the coffee grounds before she brews the pot of coffee.'
As an alternative, look for the sugar free DaVinci flavored syrups, they are zero calories and pretty good...I've seen them at Walmart, but also at TJMaxx or Marshalls sometimes as well.

Never tried it, sounds yummy though!

One of my friends does this and her coffee is always great. I've tried it a couple of times and it is yummy. My daughter and I love to try different flavored coffees. My latest buy is maple flavored. It's really good!

I really like flavored coffee and do add cinnamon from time to time. I normally drink regular or espresso but about twice a week I make a pot of flavored.

I always used flavored beans though, never syrup or creamer.

A good site for flavored coffee is here if you are looking for alternatives to creamers.

I do use cinnamon when I pair it with a coffee cake or something.

I use cinnamon everyday...in with the chocolate flavored coffee, before the splenda and Vanilla Caramel creamer. It is my best treat of the day and if it ends up killing me, oh well, I enjoyed my coffee!! lol

When I heard cinnamon was good for you I started adding some to my cereal/oatmeal every morning. I recently started sprinkling it in my coffee as well and love it!

I rarely use sugar or milk in my coffee so this is a perfect way to get a little flavor.

Hmm, I might try that this weekend.

 

[Aristomommy]

I usuallyt put cinnamon in my coffee at Starbucks or Panera since they have it right there. Otherwise at home, I don't even have my eyes half open when I reach for my coffee.

My Mom liked a "whisper of cinnamon" in her coffee. It's also the way Jackie Kennedy liked her coffee. I'd sprinkle just a little ground cinnamon into the coffee grounds. It was just enough.

I'm not able to do the whisper of cinnamon for myself just yet - Mom died 2 weeks ago. It was "her thing".

 

[JerseyJanice]

I add a sprinkle of ground cinnamon to the coffee grounds before brewing whenever I have "cheap" coffee in the house.

I've become a coffee snob and usually get good stuff, but sometimes, ShopRite sells Maxwell House or Folgers too cheap to pass up. A little cinnamon in the basket perks up the lousiest grounds.

I'm not able to do the whisper of cinnamon for myself just yet - Mom died 2 weeks ago. It was "her thing".

I'm sorry I missed that your mother passed away, minniecarousel. My condolences.

thanks to this thread, I made myself a 1/2 pot of decaf with a tsp of cinnamon mixed in with the grounds. It was awesome! Thanks for the idea OP!
