The fine folks at KRUPS  have passed along a couple of fun fall themed coffee recipies. Now I know not everyone likes flavoured coffee or spiced lattes but there are a large portion of people who do. I for one love fall the season, and do try to enjoy a good coffee confection now and then. My favorite part about these different  recipes, was that not one used  flavored  coffee, but all of them turn out tasty.
