There are a few seasonings which go pretty well with my coffee: chocolate, cardamom, cinnamon. I once had a marvelous coffee at Frontera Grill that was brewed with cinnamon and orange and lemon peel, and served with brown sugar.

I'm not morally opposed to the stuff, but I think the main problem I have with most "hazelnut coffees" and the like is that they tend to be made with really lousy coffee beans.

Then there are the flavors that are just OMGWTF. I am finishing up some lavender coffee that [livejournal.com profile] coastergalwdw brought me back from Seattle. Neat idea, but --- wow. Weird.

OK, I'll grant you that. When I think of "flavored coffee", I think of nasty artificial flavors sprayed onto mediocre beans.

Right. When the coffee beans are good, I love a good cup of coffee-flavored coffee. But when the beans are good I think they'd hold up well to a dash of a high-quality flavoring as well.

What he said. I'm a huge fan of cardamom and cinnamon brewed with the coffee, and chocolate mixed in -- the other stuff I can pretty much do without.
