Drizzle caramel, chocolate or flavor on top
“Making the perfect cup of coffee is super easy. So here's my life hack - Get your favorite iced coffee at any store, get a cup full of ice, put your coffee in, put any of your favorite creamer - Anything. Get caramel and/or chocolate drizzle, or maybe even a flavored drizzle - whatever looks really good with your creamer. Put some more cream on top, and then drizzle that over the top, and you have a perfect cup of coffee.”

Add some 5-Hour Energy and down it
“Okay. The best cup of coffee - I'm gonna teach you how to do it. You're gonna need six 5-Hour Energy's, 6-Hour Energy's, if they have them, and if they have 7-Hour Energy 'black bottle,' even better. You want to pour this into your coffee, and then you immediately stir up the coffee and down it in less than 10 seconds. That is how you make a perfect cup of coffee. Add a few couple shots of espresso in too - might help.”

Hack coffee with creamer and a Keurig
“Life hack - You clean that Keurig, use filtered water, use fresh coffee. Then, my little trick is you dump a bunch of milk in it, and then a bunch of creamer.”

Cold brewed and fresh roasted!
“When it comes to coffee . Freshness is key , so fresh ground is good , but fresh roasted is even better . Um , it's like the difference between a fresh baked cookie and one that was baked a day ago . Completely different . My favorite is a tasty in P . Berry that's been fresh roasted and then like the crust and cold brewed Cobra doesn't kill any of the caffeine or the flavor . So you get that great punch , great flavor and the greatest cup of coffee In my opinion , fresh roasted , Co brute”

Careful with the coffee creamer
“It all depends on the roast. I mean, you could put a lot of creamer in but, you know, you have to have a healthy medium because too much creamer might be a little too sweet. That's my personal opinion.”
