I buy thoses syrups just like they use at the coffee houses. My latest craze is amaretto. I add milk and sweetener. I never buy those non dairy creamers as they are loaded with transfatty acids (both the powered and liquid creamers). Also those flavoured instant coffee's are loaded with the transfatty acids as well. You could eat a pound or two real butter and cause less damage to your health than foods with transfatty acids. So, my suggestion is to buy the flavoured syrups, use milk, and forget the the creamers.

I like my coffee black and strong. Nothing added to it - I am very picky about my coffee. Recently, my sister returned from living in London and just before she did, she was in Brazil and she brought back some lovely Brazilian coffee. One of the best I have had! It was even certified.

No flavored coffe for me-when I toured a coffe plantation the tour guide said that the poorer quality beans get used in the flavored coffees. As for the non dairy creamers many have palm kernel or coconut oils in them.
Give me a good cup of Sumatra and half & half!!

I can't drink regular coffee very much because I get heart palpatations. However, I do love Chocolate Raspberry Cream Coffee and Rum and Butter or Butter Pecan flavoured coffee.

I frequently have decaf coffee with a couple drops of almond extract in it to give a flavour too. It's not as nice as the Chocolate Raspberry Cream one though, hehe

That's what I have, the syrups that go in the coffee- the rasberry is really good in cocoa too! If anyone knows where to get the toffee syrup, please let me know! I've been out for ages!

Yep me too, gotta have my coffee, or no one will wanna be my friend.

I don't even like me if I don't have my coffee.

I buy the flavoured coffee beans that I grind up. I've never heard of adding flavoured syrup to coffee. Wouldn't that make it sweet? The flavoured coffee beans don't add a sweet taste at all.

Starts with home-ground beans. Flavorings: Vanilla Soy milk (instead of cream), honey (instead of sugar), and a teaspoon of chocolate malt Ovaltine. MMMMM good.

I recently tried a great White Russian flavored coffee...it was wonderful! Of course you can't go wrong with vanilla, hazelnut, and all of the old stand-bys either.
