Coffee, the little bean that gets us going in the morning. The sweet treat that warms (or cools) us throughout the day. The dieter’s low- (or no-)-cal friend. The dark, rich end to a superb dinner.

Nibble Tip

If you don’t have the capacity to make pots of both caffeinated and decaf coffee for your dinner guests, it’s better to opt for decaf. More people don’t want to be kept up late or have caffeine restrictions than want the jolt. If there is someone who needs the caffeine kick, you can make him or her an individual cup with a single filter drip.
