We’ve come a long way from the days when coffee was just coffee. Now, there are endless variations on the classic espresso drinks that combine shots and frothy milk. Here are 15 of the top-rated coffee drink recipes that are sure to make mornings much more bearable.

Some Like it Hot

The best lattes, cappuccino and Americano warms you up while delivering the wake-up call. It’s nice, but not essential to have the fancy equipment to create the velvety creaminess latte lovers crave. A little whipped cream on top of the flavored drinks is a welcome finishing touch to a drink that you’d expect to pay $5.
