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.

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

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.

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 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!
