Caramel Mocha Macchiato with Ribeye Steak Rare
For many busy students, coffee is an essential part of the routine for staying focused and awake long enough to maintain studies, jobs and family responsibilities. This blogger has a coffee IV drip set up alongside his computer. There is no shortage of coffee purveyors competing for your coffee dollars and they have been “one-upping” each other to be your “cup of choice”. That competition has led to some pretty over the top, unhealthy coffee options. These may be yummy treats once in a while, but if you drank them every day, you’d need to buy bigger pants in short order. Here are the top five most decadent coffee drinks:

Unbelievable! What a kick in the pancreas these drinks are! Half of your day’s worth of calories in a drink? These should come with a warning label.
This cup of coffee looks absolutely delicious, but with a nutritional list as above, it is wisest to consider it as a special treat, and not as a regular cup of coffee.
