    Must confess I'm not a fan at all.

    Can't help thinking it's just added to disguise poor
    quality beans. Plus why would you want to detract
    from the taste of good coffee?

    When I first started drinking coffee 10 or 11 years ago I was very much into flavored coffee......but quickly got sick of it. Thought all the flavors were very synthetic and left me feeling sick if I had more than one cup of the stuff...
    Would not touch the stuff today....

    Only one I've bought is French Vanilla, you become pretty immune to the taste after a while.

    I agree with you billy,Im a occasional user too,because i know i would get sick of it after a while if i drinking the bloody stuff!
    My parents are addicted to the stuff!
    Usually i have the normal espresso but if you want something light it does the trick!
    The combination is 3/4 coffee,1/4 hot milk.
    I use a bialetti moca espresso yoke!
    Its also a great introduction to coffee if people find the real stuff to hard going!
