Time magazine recently listed the most decadent coffee confections you don’t want to miss!

1. Guinness-flavored latte – Starbucks introduced Dark Barrel Latte that mimics the taste of Guinness without the alcohol. Available only at select Starbucks locations in Florida and Ohio due to its testing phase.
2. Elephant poop coffee – Yes, you heard right! Deemed the world’s most expensive brew, Black Ivory Coffee is made from Arabica beans from Thailand that first pass through an elephant’s digestive system and are then harvested from the resulting dung. The process brings out the natural sugar in the bean while removing the bitterness, supposedly resulting in a uniquely delicious cup of joe. Available here only.
3. Coffee in edible waffle cups – One California coffeehouse has applied the concept soup in bread bowl to its beverages in a form of coffee. Available at Alfred Coffee & Kitchen in Los Angeles.
4. Affogato – Ice cream or gelato then topped with a shot of hot espresso. Simple recipe, try it at home!
5. Koffie Van Brunt – This beverage with a touch of aged rum got the TimeOut New York raving as “swirling layer of ivory white cream, burnished brown java and bright orange zest makes this drink as pretty to look at as it is tasty to sip.” Get it at Fort Defiance in Brooklyn, NY.
6. Coffee Beer Repeat –  Two pints of beer and two shots of espresso all served separate. Come by Houndstooth in Austin to try it out.
7. Toasted Marshmallow Latte – Concoction includes espresso, steamed milk and a roasted marshmallow on a stick. Big Shoulders Coffee in Chicago serves it perfectly.
8. The Vincent Vega – The drink, available at The Mission in San Francisco, includes Coca-Cola, a shot of espresso, vanilla syrup, served over ice.
