espresso coffee

Does anyone have tips for making good coffee house coffee at home?

I love Sonics mocha latte but can't find a copycat recipe.

A great latte is so simple and believe it or not very very good. I use vanilla coffee, but you can use any kind you like or even regular coffee and add a tad of flavored cream or liquid flavors... then add a tablespoon of FROZEN cool whip to it.. mix well and ... its a good latte... and cost only a couple cents more than your regular morning coffee... compared to 3 bucks for sonic or more for some of the others.

for mocha latte add a little choc syrup or even a pinch or three of hot choc mix. and then your cool whip to your coffee

Sounds good! Could you use cocoa powder? I never have choc syrup or cocoa mix on hand. I could make up some choco syrup..........

you can use anything that you think you would like there are no limitations ( except your imagination) ... cocoa powder, syrup other flavors anything at all will work.

if all else fails.. or you just want to.. you can put a piece of a choc bar or choc chips or butterscotch in your coffee to melt.. etc..

oooo I just thought of something.. butter rum life savers.. melted in coffee.. then some cool whip.. wow.. that would be great... hmmm think I need to go to the store for life savers.
