Re: Flavoured Coffee
Because coffee tastes bad?

Re: Flavoured Coffee
Great question that I frequently ask myself- we buy coffee for our staff once in a blue moon and they come up with all sorts of revolting concoctions, most of which will rot teeth at a hundred paces.

Re: Flavoured Coffee
North America never seems happy with flavour. Neither natural not traditional concoctions. It always has to be enhanced or built upon. Coffee, ice cream, everything seems to need something extra.

Re: Flavoured Coffee
Because it is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, and people who drink such disgusting concoctions have been possessed by Beelzebub himself? Seems about as rational a reason as any other why people would want to put that crap in a perfectly good cup of coffee...

Re: Flavoured Coffee
Plain black coffee for me, no milk, no cream, no 50/50, no sugar, no sweetenere. Just plain, black.
Flavoured coffee is an abomination, I agree.

Re: Flavoured Coffee
Topical. Just bought two jars of flavoured coffee, French Vanilla and Chocolate Caramel. I find it makes a nice change from tea or coffee, and can be a substitute from having a piece of chocolate or cookie. Very rarely order a flavoured coffee in a shop, but not immune to it.

Re: Flavoured Coffee
I thought Bats' original comment summed it up very well. Then Oakvillian topped it. Not with sprinkles.
Siouxie reminded me of
My stepson makes an abomination sometimes. When poured it smells horrible. I tell him I have to get my hazmat suit on.
Occasionally he leaves his pod in the Keurig for me to find - I use it as a supplemental to my coffee pot - and I have sometimes made myself a cup of instant, just using it for the hot water, and nearly being poisoned.
Bleurgh!

MP: Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.
GC: A cup ' COLD tea.
EI: Without milk or sugar.
TG: OR tea!

Re: Flavoured Coffee
In the US I was asked if I was sure that I wanted milk in my coffee not cream!!
I cant understand the flavoured coffee thing at all. It seems that they want a hot drink with caffeine that just tastes of sickly sweetness. I would think that once you have had a few its probably addictive!! To think we are told that Heroin is bad for you!!

Re: Flavoured Coffee
How about those who get a flavoured coffee say at 7 - 11 and then put in some more flavour by adding that stuff from the bottles or plastic dispensers.

Re: Flavoured Coffee
On a road trip if I get coffee at 7-11 I'll put about 4 French Vanilla or Hazelnut into an xxl, I'm after the caffine, not the coffee necessarily.
