The Irish are distinctly known for their love of good stout and good whiskey, so it’s no surprise that Jack Koeppler, owner of the San Francisco restaurant the Buena Vista in 1952, teamed up with travel writer Stanton Delaplane to recreate a tasty Irish coffee recipe the former had enjoyed during a pass-through at Ireland’s Shannon Airport.
The delicious Irish coffee recipe featured Irish whiskey and cream, and is still served at the restaurant today. These two are often credited for bringing Irish coffee as we know it now to America. Boy, are we glad they did!
With its dark coffee flavor and sweet brown sugar, it almost tastes like chocolate. Add whiskey and top it with whipped cream to create a warming and smooth cocktail coffee, great for a cool night. It’s the perfect accompaniment to serve alongside dessert, too.
We made the St. Paddy’s Day favorite in the Hamilton Beach BrewStation®. See how to make Irish coffee in the recipe below.

Hi Anita. We thought that would be a great idea, too! So we just announced our plans to release a Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker. Look for it on store shelves this August. We also added a timer so you’ll know exactly when your sandwiches are ready. http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/press/2014/hb-pr-25490.pdf
ATTN: PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. I Luv the breakfast sandwich machine idea, but why can’t you develop one machine that will make TWO sandwiches at the same time. Breakfast is all about sharing time with those you love………. not one person having to eat ahead of the other because of building sandwiches separately. You build a side-by-side so I can eat side-by-side with the love of my life. THEN we are going to be talking SPECIAL. It would also help households with 4 or more to get through breakfast faster.
