As I said, I'm not the coffee drinker, but I do enjoy making the coffee for my wife. I've done all sorts of things to add some "zing" to her's. After brewing, of course there are all the different flavored coffee creamers. Once those became old hat, I started doing some more "creative" things with her coffee.
Add a pinch of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, or a pinch of Caramel Syrup. Or drop in a couple Hershey's "Kisses" and melt them. Or use real Whipping Cream instead of creamers, half-and-half, or milk.
I've even added Ready-whip (spray can) as a topping, sprinkled with baker's chocolate shavings.
I've tried adding vanilla ice cream to it (almost like a root beer float). I've tried surprising her with ice-coffee.
Either she is just trying to make me feel better, or she really does like the variety, as she almost always says, "That's goooooood!"
She enjoys my creativity (I think), but in the end .... she still likes her coffee "black" only the best.
