The saddest part of a dinner party is when cocktail hour is over. But the consolation prize is perfect coffee after dinner.
I love my morning Joe as much as CNN loves theirs, but there's something about after-dinner coffee that feels very sophisticated and grown up, like buying two-ply toilet paper or talking about politics. It's also a good excuse to splurge on something that doesn't come in a giant tub.
A colleague said over lunch the other day: "I drink black coffee if it's good coffee. And this stuff is shit, so pass the milk."
Good, bold, black coffee speaks for itself, and serving up these crowd-pleasers will say loud and clear that you are a lady, professional and hostess.
