Quick and Easy Cinnamon Flavored Coffee

Here is a quick and easy recipe to give your coffee a nice cinnamon flavor.

If you have ever tried adding cinnamon, or even cinnamon mixed with sugar, to coffee you know that the cinnamon simply floats to the top of the coffee and doesn't really flavor it.

To get cinnamon flavor into the coffee you have to add it to the ground coffee before you brew it.


Simply put the usual amount of ground coffee into the grounds holder, then sprinkle cinnamon over the top.

For better distribution, you can carefully mix the cinnamon into the coffee in the filter container.

The more you add, the stronger the flavor but, if you are using a paper filter, be careful not to add too much as the finely ground cinnamon will plug up the holes in the filter thereby reducing the amount of coffee that is brewed.

Then brew the coffee and enjoy.

Great idea...now how do you make it work for tea? ;-)

I have never tried it in tea. But it sounds good. The only thing I can think of is to use bulk tea and mix some cinnamon with the tea and brew it using one of those old fashioned tea strainers that they used before commercial tea bags.

I have never even had cinnamon flavored coffee before. I'll give it a try and for sure use your suggestion for the preparation. Thanks again

Wow! My mom told me about this not long ago and it gives your coffee such a nice taste! I am surprised to find others enjoying this as well!

Let me say first, I go through a lot of cinnamon... it has some health benefits as well as being one of my favorite flavors. I love cinnamon in my coffee, but not all cinnamon is created equal. The one I've found works best as an addition to my coffee grounds is Pampered Chef brand, but it's a bit pricey for me and you can't just run to the grocery store to buy it. Right now I have an 18 oz. bottle of Tones brand in the pantry (I told you I go through a lot). It's fine in my breakfast smoothie and tastes great on the small portion of desert I allow myself each evening. In the coffee... a big nothing. I have even gone so far as blending the Tones' cinnamon into the grounds in the canister so the flavor can "fuse" with the coffee. Four rounded tablespoons to about half a canister (the Maxwell House plastic jug) of coffee. And yes, that is enough to begin to plug the paper filter, so I believe that's as much as I dare add. So Chuck, what brand of cinnamon do you find works well? I'm williing to lay in a supply of just about anything that works, as long as it doesn't break the budget.

Glenn, Thanks for the comment and for sharing.

While I like cinnamon, I regret to say that I am not the connoisseur that you are. I just checked my cupboard and I currently have the Kirkland brand of cinnamon from Costco. I think the cinnamon in the picture above was also from Costco but another brand.

Until I saw your comment I wasn't aware that there was that much difference between cinnamon. But now you have me thinking that maybe I should shop around some when it is time to buy more cinnamon.

Thanks again for your informative comment.

Chuck
