Cocktail and dinner parties are lovely ways to entertain, but when you want to gather friends during the daytime with a minimum of fuss, consider an old-fashioned coffee klatch (from the German Kaffeeklatsch, which means to gossip over a cup of joe). So whether you prefer using an old-fashioned Italian Moka pot, making pour-over coffee or own a fully automated espresso maker, prepare plenty of your favorite coffee drink, make a few of these simple treats and gather some of your favorite people to enjoy them.
