Personally, I think this is the only way to have sugar, on the side…With a cup of milk.
The chocolate & biscotti are two pretty frequent pairings(with coffee)in my kitchen. Chocolate truffles-like the mint or caramel-being an occasional treat. Cheesecake is great too. But back to biscotti, I get these nice local ones with anise flavouring(think liquorice, great with a dark roast). I also recently bought a couple boxes of triple chocolate biscotti with almonds. Haven’t tried them yet, but I’m thinking they’ll be great…have to try the ‘panna route’ -…cotta &…tone.;-)
I think you just made my mouth water. Most of the bicotti I’ve tried wasn’t that great. It looks like I need to just keep looking.
I always pair coffee with anything sweet. They’re just not complete without coffee. Exception to that is breakfast. Any kind of breakfast, sweet, salty or whatever, coffee is always the best for me.
Maria, I have to say my tastes are just about the same!
It must have been extremely difficult to narrow it down to 5 (really six since bacon and eggs are technically two separate food items)!
One very often overlooked coffee companion are bouchons. They are little chocolate “corks” (bouchon is French for cork) that I first discovered at the restaurant Bouchon. So delicious. Recipe at http://j.mp/slAf8o however, the chef himself, Thomas Keller, corrected that recipe to say you need 1.5cups of granulated sugar.
Brian, I think the list could easily be a top 100. But then again, I drink coffee with a lot of different meals, not just breakfast.
I’ve never had a bouchon before. However, I checked out that recipe and a few others. I may have to try to make it one weekend morning. Thanks!
Thanks for doing such a great job on the blog. One of my favorite pairings is a bold coffee with dark chocolate (90% or greater) – they seem to complement each other so well… I find another good option this time of year is pannetone.
JJ, thanks for the kind words.
I also love chocolate with coffee, especially when they’re both strong flavors.
I’ve never had pannetone, but after googling it. I may have to change that.
I love to have my coffee with just about anything! My favorite is with a nice serving of panna cotta. The sweetness and creaminess of the panna cotta just blends with the coffee really great.
I’ve never had panna cotta. I might have to change it. I’ve seen it on the menu at a few places, but never tried it.
I agree with this post, pairing coffee with food can be fun and interesting, sort of like pairing wine with food…
I totally agree and don’t stop with just breakfast or dessert foods for pairing. I think grilled foods go great with a lot of coffees too.
