A beautiful way to start the day: Pouring milk into your coffee
(Source: loopc.am)
I love coffee—some may even call me obsessed—but I’m on the fence about how I feel about Fiat launching their first in-car coffee maker. I’m sure it will be great for those late nights when you feel yourself getting sleepy, but how good can this espresso really taste? What are your thoughts?

Cold Brew (Iced) Coffee
If you know me, then you know I am obsessed with iced coffee. Last week, I made coffee ice cubes, so this week I decided to try my hand at cold brew coffee.
What’s the difference? Cold brew coffee is brewed without heat and therefore produces a less astringent and acidic coffee.
How do you make it?
Step 1: Pour room temperature water over coarsely ground coffee, stir then let sit for a minimum of 12 hours. (I used the ratio of 1 1/2 cups coffee to 8 cups water.)
Step 2: Filter coffee through coffee filter lined strainer.
Step 3: Pour over ice and enjoy! Note: Some people dilute the coffee with water at a 1:1 ratio, but I like my coffee slap-me-in-the-face strong, so I prefer it as is.
Is it worth the effort? Heck yes! The coffee bean’s nutty and chocolate notes are more pronounced and create a sweetened effect. Yum-o!
