If you want cheap coffee, Ikea sells a pretty good ground coffee for $2.50/bag.
Also, Alix, you can spice up your coffee with any of the following:
1. In Your Filter: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger. One or more together (about 1/2 tsp)
2. From the pantry: a small shot of syrup: Maple, Butter Pecan, even Raspberry!
3. From Cost Plus: Torani flavored syrups - they make about 30 different flavors. A favorite of mine is Coconut. Also good is the gingerbread coffee syrup that Starbucks sells each holiday season
4. From the cupboard: a tiny portion (maybe 1/8 tsp) of powdered jell-o mix is good - like try the orange in your coffee - it's quite tasty!
When in doubt, add a drop or two (or three) of extract to the coffee pot after the coffee has brewed - Vanilla + Almond is a good combo, as is maple-vanilla. For a wackier taste, add a few red-hot candies to your hot coffee.
hmmmmm...wonder why I'm craving coffee now......!
