For those who cannot or don't want to drink their coffee with caffeine in it, decaf is no longer a dirty word in the coffee world. Well... not at least for some gourmet beans. Some pay the extra money to make sure our decaf coffees are treated gently, leaving a majority of the bean flavoring compounds unaffected. You've got choices here. You can go with the traditional high grade coffee decafs that have been specially treated with a water-steam pressure to strip away chemical solvent or our 100% chemical free processed decafs All of the decaffeinated coffee is processed to be almost entirely caffeine free.
Flavored coffee is a brew that can be sipped both hot and cold with the same enjoyment. Some people just love drinking steaming hot cups of coffee, while some like it in milk shakes, ice creams and cold coffee form. Likewise, many persons care for their flavored coffee.
Therefore, to enjoy a cup of flavored coffee at its fullest, ground it fresh and brew it in a conventional coffee maker or if possible use an espresso machine. The aromas will fill the whole house or place where you are brewing it leaving even non-coffee drinkers wishing for a cup.
If you are java savoir-faire, like most persons are these days, then you probably know about the various syrups you can add to your latte or cappuccino. Conversely, you can also purchase flavored coffee beans. This way, if you have an espresso machine in your home, you can simply deposit some flavored coffee beans in the grinder and indulge in the java of your choice. My wife can't get enough of the flavored coffee craze. She loves all those crazy flavors such as; brown sugar brule, Boston cream pie, and German chocolate. These in point of fact seem to be more popular today than good old-fashioned espresso blend.
Not all coffee is created alike. Sometimes it is not truly fresh. It's the scandalous secret that the big coffee co's don't want you to know; that they must supply cheap beans from mass farming and deforestation as their markets are simply too huge and their profit needs too grand. Somewhat we're no bigger than an ant, so we can supply our coffee from exclusive coffee plantations that carry an very limited, but very high grade coffee since they both respect the environment (shade grown) and their workers (fair pay).
I normally enjoy my coffee black instead of flavored coffee and taste the power of the beans but of course some cream and milk will only add more taste for others.
