Homemade Cinnamon Dolce Coffee

Today I want to share with you a delicious and delightful way to start your day! This is sweet, warmly spiced, and creamy smooth coffee drink that will keep you out of Starbucks and in your kitchen. The cinnamon dolce syrup makes this drink super special, and I highly recommend you keep some of this goodness if your refrigerator at all times!

We used the Francois et Mimi Single Wall Borosilicate Glass French Coffee Press to make our coffee, and it is a gorgeous and wonderful french press to keep in your home. My husband is a huge fan of french presses, they really get the most out of your coffee beans. I love that not only is this beautiful to look at, but it's a nice large size - good for 3 or even 4 people to have a nice sized cup of coffee per use.

I also love that this french press works very well for cold brewed coffee, and you can bet I'll be putting that to the test this summer! I love me some iced caramel lattes! 

The Francois et Mimi Single Wall Borosilicate Glass French Coffee Press has an elegant chrome finish,holds 1500ml, or 50-oz, is dishwasher safe, has a micro-mesh filter, and it works great with coarse-ground coffee or tea leaves! This is a beautiful addition to your kitchen, and having a french press on hand allows you to get the most out of each cup of coffee.
