Why You Should Put Cinnamon in Coffee Grounds
Putting cinnamon in coffee grounds sounds super simple, right? And it is! And when mixed with other spices, it creates the most fragrant and delicious cup of coffee. And it’s ready in just about the same time it takes to make a regular cup.
While I could just serve a cup of coffee to my friends, I love to serve coffee with cinnamon and nutmeg. Adding holiday flavors to the coffee grounds is a fun way to surprise your friends with an unexpected twist.

I love to make a cup of this for myself on Christmas morning. And, of course, it’s perfect for sharing with friends any time of year.
What I love about this recipe is that you can make it in almost any type of coffee maker. As long as you can access the grounds, you can pretty much make this.

I have Ingredients
1850™ Brand Coffee is made with Arabica beans and their select line of coffee is available in different forms for all types of coffee drinkers! These are the spices to add to coffee that I enjoy, you can choose your favorites. I prefer to use spices from Savory Spice Shop. They are great quality, reasonably priced and are SO fresh. The smells are intoxicating! They also have sort of a ready-made coffee spice set. How to Add Spices to Coffee Grounds
To a French Press or the filtered basket of your coffee maker, add the coffee grounds. Add the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger) and orange zest. How much spice and cinnamon you add to coffee grounds is ultimately up to you based on your flavor preferences. To me, more is more so I would do a tablespoon of cinnamon and 1 tsp of nutmeg and 1/2 tsp clove and 1/2 tsp ginger. The spiced coffee grounds have such a nice, spiced flavor without hardly any work! But it is important to start with a great coffee so you have a quality product to build on. Then make your coffee as you normally would whether you are using a coffee maker or coffee press. This Cinnamon Spiced Coffee recipe can be made ahead of time up to the point of actually brewing the coffee. You can pre-measure the spices and zest the orange peel ahead of time to save you time in the morning. You will still need to sweeten your coffee as you normally would and add creamer if that is your thing. I suggest using a non-flavored creamer so that you can really taste the spices. I love to look for excuses to hang out with friends. Life is so busy that it can be hard to make time for each other. A coffee date can be a fun idea that can be as quick or as long as you want it to be. A coffee date doesn’t even require a full breakfast. I am not a meal skipper but it seems like most of my mom friends don’t actually eat a big breakfast. Serving store-bought donuts is about as easy as it can get. And who can resist a donut?! I put out the SO Delicious Creamer with the cinnamon spiced coffee so each person can still be in charge of preparing their coffee just how they like it. Our coffee date may not be that long, as moms don’t usually slow down for too long, but it’s a great way to connect and spend time together before getting right back into the day. The best part about this type of mom timeout is that it doesn’t have to just happen at the holidays! But it’s especially nice this time of year. Spiced coffee has a way of bringing people together and is the perfect excuse to slow down and enjoy the moment. Whether you’re enjoying your coffee plain or you’re adding cinnamon to the coffee, 1850™ Brand Coffee and So Delicious Dairy Free Creamer are a great pairing for starting your day right! Adding friends is icing on the cake. And they won’t believe what a delicious drink they can make by adding cinnamon to coffee. Although not edible, you can use coffee grounds to make a Coffee Scrub for cellulite.

I’d be interested to try-BUT- how much is a “scoop” of coffee? How about an actual measurement. Thanks.
I’d say it’s about a tablespoon.
