Bacon.... Coffee? Yep. Caramelized Bacon Coffee

From the kitchen of Seattle's Best Coffee comes an idea I'm not sure I am ready to make.  Now, I love bacon.  I really, really love bacon.  And, I love coffee.  I even love bacon and coffee together for breakfast.  A few strips of crisp bacon and a full mug of strong, black coffee is a perfect breakfast in my book.  But... bacon coffee?  Seattle's Best Coffee has a new coffee recipe that combines coffee with the unexpected flavors of caramelized bacon and subtle hints of pumpkin pie spice.   What do you think?  (You'll need  Bacon Syrup )  While over at Amazon I also found this Maple Bacon Flavored Ground Coffee - which I guess would be a much faster way to get your bacon flavored coffee but it doesn't seem nearly as rich and decadent as the following recipe.
