Do most coffee fanatics consider flavored coffees the equivalent of Acid cigars? I was at the local supermarket when some bulk hazelnut beans caught my eye. They smelled really good, so I bought a small quantiy to try out.

Man, to me this coffee came out really good in the French Press. Really nice aroma with a great, not too overpowering hazelnut finish. I'm thinking this would go great with a cigar, like a Gray cliff Espresso, etc.

Anyone else out there like me.......................That does not like Acid's? :sign:
 
I don't really like flavored coffee or iced coffee but that is just personal preference. I usually drink coffee black or with a little sugar in the raw sprinkled in. I guess instead of flavored, I would just use a lighter roast instead. So yeah most of the flavored coffee I have had was so overpowering to the actual bean that it was disgusting in flavor.
 
Nothing in my cup but coffee, even sugar is not for me, just like single malt only water.
 
....probably goes great with a MOONTRANCE...!!... :sign:

I'm with Claudio; no flavored cigars, nothing in my coffee but quality beans and water, and I drink my whiskey neat.

To each his own - B.B.S.

I'm with you on the cigars, the liquor, and the coffee for the most part. The wife likes Irish cream, and Rasberry something or another. I think it's all foul.
This tasted like regular dark roast coffee with just a hint of a nutty flavor, very subtle.
I guess that is what I was driving at.
 
If you're going to drink flavored coffees, you need separate grinding and brewing apparatus. Personally, if I want to flavor my coffee, I add Tia Maria or Anisette to my regular brew.

I like to spice my coffee up with Bailey's Irish Cream. But taste is so subjective...
 
asking for it here I know...but here goes....Also take into consideration I am not a coffee afficianado(sp? lol)...You said you got it at a "supermarket"...that in my opinion is probably one of the worst places to pick up bulk coffee...I was in washington last yr (spokane area) and my aunt took me and the wife to a coffee shop...and we all got coffee there...some flavored...some espresso...and some straight up coffee (not an expert remember lol)....had them grind it up...cuz like DD said if you are going to do flavored coffees you should have separate grinding/brewing stuff...which my aunt and uncle employ as they are coffee freaks lol...so basically ya get what ya pay for imho...just my .02 worth...len
 
To me, coffee is a flavor, so why would I add flavor to a flavor unless I did not like the flavor of the flavor I am adding flavoring.

Same with tobacco. It is a flavor, and if you need a flavor in your toabcco then you need to find some better tobacco.

Like Rasberry ? eat a rasberry.

And the big gripe I have about flavored coffee is that its the gift that keeps on giving. Let someone brew a flavored coffee in a community coffee pot, and its like and overperfumed woman entering a restaurant. Even when she is gone the her prior presence lingers.
