Desert Coffee Drinks

Desert Coffee drinks are something I love to treat myself to quite often. With just a few key items from American Serenade and your home, you can build your own coffee-house in your house and treat yourself whenever the mood strikes.

Key items:

Your favorite American Serenade Coffees
Your favorite coffee mug
Spices from your cabinets (cinnamon, nutmeg, whatever you like)
American Serenade’s Whipped cream maker & Heavy Whipping Cream

#1. HARVEST SPICE DELIGHT!

I have a strong sweet tooth especially when it comes to my desert coffee drinks. I was very particular when selecting the flavored coffees to include in my coffee line. Amber Waves, which is our Harvest Spice, has just enough hints of nutmeg and cinnamon to tease your sweet palate. I love home-made whipped cream vs the store-bought packages, its healthier yet taste so rich and smooth and not overly sweet. It is so easy to make.

American Serenade Whipped Cream Maker (easy to use and delicious)

-Our Whipped Cream makers come in 1/2 pt or 1pt size in a few different colors

-Our whipped cream charges (come in packs of 25, 1 per use)

-Purchase Heavy Whipping cream, add powdered sugar or flavored syrup and shake.

The process takes about 1 min to make and it will stay fresh in your refrigerator for 12 days or until it’s empty! My kids love it on their hot chocolates or ice cream sundaes, and we use it on pies for family gatherings.

Winter is a great time to snuggle up with a hot cup of micro-roasted coffee. I could smell it while it was brewing and it smelled fantastic! Wow is this good!!

#2. COOKIE IN A CUP!!

A crowd favorite is our Union Coffee, which is Snickerdoodle! Our customers state it really taste like a Snickerdoodle cookie. I then added a touch of cream, home-made whipped cream, & sprinkled with my home-made cinnamon and sugar mixture. I love having multiple options depending on what mood I am in for my coffee choices and even better I love to be able to do it so simply in my home and not have to pile up the kids or jump in the car and leave the house in the winter!

American Serenade Grace Sighting – Robin

Posted in Grace Sightings

Robin was introduced to our coffees during a Tasting Party in late November 2012 with her boyfriend. She really enjoyed the coffee and loved the demo of the Chemex coffee machine. Robin’s boyfriend bought her the Chemex as a Christmas present, and one of her favorite American Serenade coffees, Amber Waves. Amber Waves is a flavored coffee, Cinnamon Hazelnut.

Robin wrote, “I drink it every morning, using Chemex each time. My boyfriend, Derek, is not much of a coffee drinker and I usually do not come into contact with anyone until after I have had at least some caffeine, haha. The friends I have shared the coffee with, agreed about how good the coffee is from American Serenade.

Thanks Robin! We love to see the pictures of our customers and how they are enjoying our products and spending their Grace time!!

Bean to Bean,

Lisa, Founder American Serenade

The Cost to Buy Premium Micro-Roasted Gourmet Coffee

The Power of Many

It seems as though whenever Americans with a common interest join together good things can happen. And this has never been truer than with our Coffee & Wine Society. The old saying that there is strength in numbers, or as we call it The Power of Many, can be pretty amazing.

Our organization was formed as a group-buying club for coffee lovers to be later followed by adding wine, tea and related accessories. All of course made right here in The United States of America.

Our vision was built around a dream: Imagine if you had unlimited resources to hire a personal concierge who’s only responsibility was to search the country to find the best-of-the-best coffees and have that coffee available for your enjoyment at your beck and call.

The pleasing reality of this dream is that it came true even though American Serenade & our Society Members do not have unlimited resources but are average Americans who enjoy drinking coffee. What made the difference was realizing that the “unlimited resources” part of that Dream would be realized by leveraging a traditional American concept, The Power of Many!

In our search for the best-of-the-best coffees we found that even though superior quality, premium gourmet coffee beans come in many shapes and sizes and from some pretty exotic places, something amazing happens when those premium coffee beans are roasted in small batches. Or as some call it Micro-Roasting.

The process of Micro-Roasting premium coffee beans in 5-pound to 25-pound individual batches is not as efficient as let’s say a Folgers or 8’Oclock or you name it. But why would they. The micro-roast process takes the patience and skill of a true artisan, An American artisan! If the combination of superior quality, premium coffee beans & American artisan micro-roasting sounds exotic, it is! If it sounds expensive? You be the judge. Following is a Serenade comparison of our Society Coffee Club cost and some other well-known coffees. American Serenade is the only micro-roasted coffee. All listed examples, with the exception of World Market, are confirmed single-origin beans – Gourmet Arabica beans, a single bean type from a designated growing region.

Oh, and by the way, have you noticed how everyone else packages premium gourmet coffee in 10oz-12oz-portion packaging?
