Re: New to coffee and have some questions.

I agree wholeheartedly with RCG above, I LOVE the Bailey's creamers and I find them to be far superior to other flavored creamers I've tried in the past. For years I took nothing but milk or cream in my coffee. No sweetener. And then over the past few years I've really fallen for a little sweetness. If i'm drinking a flavored coffee, then I really like adding Stevia in the Raw and plain half-and-half. But if I'm drinking a straight-up coffee, like a Starbucks blend OR Donut Shoppe, then the Baileys is perfect for me. The othe band I like is the Coffemate (?) Naturals ones. They come in a white bottle.

I'm not much for flavored coffee, but I did use a Coffeemate French Vanilla at my bank the other day. It was quite good and I intend on buying it for the house. They also offer popcorn on certain days. And there is a credit union in town that can rival any coffee shop in variety of flavors. With all the automatic banking, I guess they are desperate to get people in the door.

I need to switch my banking institution. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Coffee Mate's Sweet Italian Cream (liquid) sugar free is awesome! It has the best flavor! Plus I add 2 packets of Truvia. I am a tea freak but I will drink the occational cup of coffee only if it is sweet enough.

Re: New to coffee and have some questions.

I don't like the flavored coffees - to me they have a very artificial, almost chemical taste. As far as creamers, I have found I don't like the liquid creamers - again, very artificial-tasting - but am fine with the powdered creamer. My staple is Coffee Mate in the jar, Sugar Free French Vanilla. I have tried the variations of vanilla caramels and for me they're too sweet and overpowering. But the vanilla is just right for me.

Re: New to coffee and have some questions.

I buy Da Vinci sugar free syrup in the caramel and have it in my coffee. Toriani also has flavored syrups. Delicious! I don't care for flavored coffees but I do like the syrup and heavy cream in mine.
