The fine folks at KRUPS  have passed along a couple of fun fall themed coffee recipies. Now I know not everyone likes flavoured coffee or spiced lattes but there are a large portion of people who do. I for one love fall the season, and do try to enjoy a good coffee confection now and then. My favorite part about these different recipes, was that not one used flavored coffee, but all of them turn out tasty.

But you know what its very good to unplug once in a while. Stretch my legs out and wander around the real world for a while. Today’s show is a breath of fresh fun air into the CaffiNation Lair.
