Melitta Cafe De Europa Coffee? YES, Please!

Caramel Macchiato   Hazelnut Creme Brulee  Parisian Vanilla

I love coffee and I don’t think it is a big secret that Melitta is an absolute favorite of mine!

With football season upon us, it’s time to talk tailgating! Whether relaxing with friends outside the stadium or watching the game at home, there are many ways coffee can perk up your spread this fall. Melitta – a brand well-recognized for exceptional quality in all aspects of coffee and coffee preparation – has a number of delicious coffee-infused recipes perfect for football season.

Also, their flavored coffees are a big hit with me for the Fall! I received a few flavors to try and think that they are all just perfect for this Fall! I really couldn’t choose my absolute favorite! The Café de Europa Caramel Macchiatto is a rich blend of vanilla and caramel and tastes delicious! The Café de Europa Hazlenut Creme Brulee also has the sweet caramel and a vanilla taste but also a hazelnut taste. I also tried the Café de Europa Parisian Vanilla, which was sweet and creamy vanilla. I like to drink this one and daydream that I am in Paris! Find these favorites of mine at Melitta. You can also find a store locator on their website.
