SurpriseThese mufins were great! Easy to make and very moist. They were not too strong at all. My kids did not even recognize the coffee flavor. All they said was "really good" I will definately keep this recipe in the make again catagory.

These muffins have a very nice moist texture, but the taste was only good not great). And, if I'm going to go to the extra work of brewing strong coffee and adding a sprinkle topping PLUS glaze, the end result needs to be excellent to make the extra work worthwhile. Too much work for me for the end result. A couple of my children also thought that there was too much coffee taste (though I have a cappucino muffin recipe with just as much coffee that they like) or that it'd be better without raisins.
