DIY Gourmet Coffee Recipes from KRUPS

As soon as my alarm clock goes off and I get out of bed...I got some type of coffee or espresso brewing. I simply can NOT start my day without having at least two cups of coffee in the morning. On some days I will drink several cups during the day and after a stressful day, I unwind with a cup of decaf before going to bed.

Several years ago I wasted a LOT of money by visiting various local coffee shops and spending a lot of money on over-priced gourmet coffee. Over the years...I realized I can save a lot of money by making it myself at home.

Today, I am sharing with all of you several gourmet coffee recipes that you can make at home by the great folks over at KRUPS. Trust me, KRUPS knows coffee and these recipes look absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to trying them!
