All of the coffee memes online apply to me. My day does not start until I pour that first cup. I like to think I am getting pretty darn good and brewing coffee at home. Coming up with new ways to add flavor is a passion and this easy coffee recipe is one of my all-time favorites.

I have always been a fan of the flavor of cinnamon and had the most incredible latte while visiting a darling coffee shop in Northern California this summer. When I asked for the secret they quickly told me they added ground cinnamon to the coffee grounds.

Genius.

After some testing, I’ve found the absolute perfect way to brew coffee with cinnamon.

There are two ways we have found best to add cinnamon to coffee. Follow the steps below for a great flavor boost to your morning cup of coffee:

2. Stir a cinnamon stick into your brewed coffee cup before serving.

Our favorite option is the first, but I have been known to stir in a cinnamon stick when I need added flavor to my coffee.

This question is really based on personal preference. I find that between one and two teaspoons of ground cinnamon provide just the right amouont of flavor for two brewed cups of coffee.
