As cooler weather approaches, the idea of combining coffee and booze becomes more and more enticing. Here at Reviewed.com we love making coffee, and we especially love making it with great products.

For these two recipes, we recommend brewing coffee the best way possible. For hot coffee that means using our favorite drip coffee maker, the Technivorm Moccamaster. And for making the best cold brew, our recommendation is the Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker. Now, onto the recipes.
