5 Stars, a wonderful after-dinner dessert coffee, the cinnamon set this apart, although the cinnamon and cocoa flavors remind me of Mexican coffee. I couldn't distinguish the brandy as a separate taste, except it made the alcohol more potent. I used 6 ounces of water with a Dark Magic Decaf K-cup in my Keurig. Thanks for posting this Annacia, keep the coffee drinks coming! Made for This Round's On Me. -
Very comforting, smooth, and tasty combination of flavors. I made one serving using my Tassimo coffee machine with a decaf espresso pod. Thanks, Annacia! Made for Bevy Tag. -
I did it only for me. And I reduced the creme de cacao to 2 teaspoon cause I knew it would be too sweet. It was a great coffee. I used really strong coffee. Thanks Annacia. Made for Bevy tag. -
This was a perfect after lunch espresso, the combination of chocolate and almonds is heavenly. Just a note, use a good quality espresso for the best flavor.
