Community Coffee - Fall Favorites #ad

Community Coffee Company is the largest family-owned and operated coffee company in the U.S. Community offers high-quality blends featuring 100% select Arabica coffee beans in a variety of yummy flavors such as Pecan Praline, French Vanilla, and classic Dark Roast.

The leaves are falling and the temperatures have dropped, we’re snuggling up and sipping on the fall seasonal favorites.  This year we tried:

Southern Bread Pudding - All the flavor of the traditional Southern dessert–brown sugar, caramel and a hint of honey-coated raisins. Expertly balanced with incredibly smooth flavor. Made from only the top 10% of the world's coffee beans.

Pumpkin Praline - With delicious hints of pumpkin spice and toasted pecans, this satisfying medium roasted coffee is a seasonal favorite. Made from only the top 10% of the world's coffee beans.

French Roast - Their darkest roast yet. They use only the top 10% of the world's coffee beans for a robust flavor and a remarkably rich finish. This is a great smooth roast not at all bitter. It is the perfect jolt to get you going in the morning!

Each variety of Community Coffee is guaranteed to awaken your senses and leave you feeling refreshed. Plus, most flavors are available in ground, whole bean, and single-serve cups, so that making coffee is as simple as can be whether it’s for you or to share!
 

Did you know when you used in recipes, coffee can flavor and tenderize, add complexity, and enhance other ingredients.  For savory meals, use Community coffee in combination with other herbs and spices to marinate meats. For sweeter treats, try coffee in pudding, cake and  cupcake and brownie recipes to intensify the flavor of chocolate.
