When you order a latte, cappuccino, or other coffee drink, what flavor do you usually ask for? I usually go with either caramel or vanilla, but sometimes I like raspberry.

I like the moka-made espresso with (????) ouzo (that is Greek anise-flavored liqueur).

I used to own a coffee shop / espresso bar, so of course tried heaps of flavors (you have to have the product knowledge when you own a coffee shop ;) and my favorite flavored coffee is this. A double shot of espresso in a 10 ounce (300ml) glass, a shot of hazelnut flavor, then top that with frothy made with chocolate milk. Then I'd lightly shake hot chocolate power on the top, and serve it with a couple chocolate coated coffee beans... this is heaven in a glass....

And probably my second fave is basically the same as the above one, but instead of hazelnut, I'd use white chocolate flavor with the chocolate milk.... :)

Flavour? I didn't know there were flavours. I should get out more! I did try ordering a coffee 2 years ago, and they read off all these things I had never heard of ... and I asked for a black coffee and they had none. None! They didn't DO plain black coffee. Nuts.

Where on earth did you go that they didn't carry plain black coffee??? I have never even heard of someone not having that! Anyway, you can either order a shot of flavor added to your drink at a coffee house, or just get the flavored syrups to make your own at home.

I had some chocolate mint truffle creamer at my mother's doctor's office yesterday and have to say that is my favorite flavor yet. I've got to get some for home.

I'm pretty sure it was International Delight and it was delicious.

BunG, I always buy my coffee by the bean so I can grind it freshly every pot. I make my own very erractic blends! Most of my blend consists of some type of chocolate bean (I am a woman you know). I have a huge Tupperware bowl that I dump all of my beans in when I come home from the store. When I am at the store (usually Walmart because they have the best selection of beans in my town - we have a Seatlle's best coffee, but they don't carry beans for sale? go figure?), I buy about 1 pound of chocolate, 1/2 pound of vanilla, 1/4 pound of hazelnut, 1/4 pound of columbian, and if I'm feeling desperate, another 1/2 pound of chocolate. Then I go home and mix them in my bowl with all of my remaining beans and store them in another huge Tuppeware container. Now, here comes the BEST part. I also buy a container of chocolate powdered non-dairy creamer (it only comes in a small container) and a large container of plain white coffee creamer. I mix them together and store them in another container and when ready I take about a a cup and a half of the mixture out, add about 1/2 Tablespoon Watkins double strength vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon Watkins chocolate extract. I mix this up and then add enough water to make about 4 cups of non-dairy creamer. Are you sorry you asked this question? I was really ready with an answer for it!~Donna

LOL -- I'm sorry I already gave away the "best answer" designation! Sounds way yummy though. I really need to get myself a grinder. So far I just have to make due with the pre-ground stuff. Maybe I'll use my myLot earnings to get one of those!

Starbucks used to have an orange-flavored syrup called Valencia, it was so yummy when added to chocolate/mocha drinks! I miss it!

You have know idea what I would do for a nice tall hot Starbucks right now. Any kind. Where I live there is not one and it really sucks. But I tend to like the choclate and vanilla flavors... I just had a cinnamon one the other day and that was very tasty. Hmmmmm I wish I could just blink my eyes and have one right here.

I really like the English Toffee flavored coffee. If I add at home it is hazel nut (Frangelico) has a little more kick to it. wink wink. A dollop of whipped cream never hurt a coffee either.

Carmel, vanilla and raspberry are my top favorites also. I like to get a mocha with carmel added to it...mmm-mmm. At the gas station I get those steamers and I mix a couple of the flavors together. THey usually have mocha and a raspberry steamer so I mix them about half and half.

I love the vanilla and caramel together it makes such a wonderful combination. I like to go to those gourmet coffe shops and just sit there and relax and drink my coffee and take in all the aromas!

I like vanilla, too, but recently tried hazelnut. It's really good! One of the people at the coffee shop suggested it and I'm glad I agreed to give it a try!

I have always had a thing for french vanilla. I has that kinda taste you get when eating the good expensive brand or the unheardof brands. ITs kind of a marshmallowy taste with a little vanilla bean flavor.

The flavor that I add depends on what coffee I order.If the coffee is african,like coffee from Kenya,I like Valencia/Orange because it complements the coffee.If I order coffee from Latin America,I usually go for vanilla or caramel..Yumm!

Oooohh, good question. I usually prefer it straight, but if I had to pick a flavor, I would definitely go with Hazelnut.
