Coffee Cubes

During my visit to Springfield, IL I visited a small coffee shop. I was quite intrigued and shocked when I saw the lady pop some brown ice cubes into my Caramel Iced Latte. I walked out of there staring at my frosty cup as brown objects bobbed around in my delicious refreshment. At first I thought it was dirty ice cubes, but that would be weird. Then my husband frankly said "it's probably coffee ice cubes." Of course he would immediately assume that. And to my surprise it was! I was ecstatic! This was such an ingenious idea, why hadn't I thought of it? Watered down coffee is one of my pet peeves and this would solve my dilemma! So here it goes:

Here you can see the end result of my latte cubes

I took leftover coffee from my french press and poured it into my ice cube tray (no grounds of course) You can't use nasty coffee for this either such as: Folgers, instant, or grocery brand. I used Caribou Coffee because it adds even more flavor to my drink.

And here it is! A delicious glass of iced coffee that won't have that old watery taste. Yuck. 

Anthropologie Coffee?

So I was in Anthropologie the other day and came across this crafty piece. Now for everyone who knows me, I am a coffee addict! So this only makes sense, a coffee filter flower cluster! I will be honest, I probably don't have this many coffee filters but I know who does! Sams!! This just might be my next defeat. Yea, it will definitely be a pain in the rear to dust and clean but if it looks intriguing I'll do it. This is amazing and it will be crafted! I promise you this.
