A Taste for Flavored Coffees (#)
„Some coffee aficionados enjoy an occasional cup of flavored coffee but won't admit this to any coffee purist friends for fear of being considered plebeian. We buy our flavored coffees from our specialty roaster at odd times when retail traffic is at a low, hoping no one will notice us as we surreptitiously pay at the register. If caught by one of our coffeehouse buddies, we vehemently deny that the coffee is a purchase for ourselves: "Oh, this? It's for my aging aunt Martha.“

„So, I guess the question comes down to "How can we effectively punish the brackish espresso except using the suggestion box and going elsewhere?" Even if we do, it won't matter because aficionados are a very very very small percentage of the average coffee bar's clientele, I assume. They'll continue making profits while they're ringing in $5.00 for their caramel flavored mochachino with whipped cream and sprinkles on top. Who cares about that cranky guy who always complains the shots are "too fast!?!?"“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„There are doubtless other, vaguer issues that come into play when a roaster or old-time coffee lover confronts a flavored coffee. Specialty-coffee roasters and aficionados have always been the rebels and idealists of the coffee world, and I suspect that flavored coffees smack too much of commercial compromise and technological contrivance for them. There always comes a moment when dedicated coffee roasters and brokers begin talking about why they love the business, and the main point invariably seems to be there is always more to learn, more subtleties to be fathomed, more discoveries to be made. The coffee bean is an extraordinarily complex chemical system, with some 500 chemical constituents already identified and, I am told, at least 200 to 300 more still not even known or named.“

„This can be reached by letting your kettle rest for a moment after coming to a boil. If the water is too hot, the coffee will be bitter; if it is too cool, it won't extract all the flavor. While we're talking about temperature, don't forget to pre-heat the pot. Pour hot water into the empty carafe to warm it, then dump it out before brewing begins.“

Spicing It Up (INeedCoffee.com)
„On top of the list of problems is the fact that they permanently stain your coffee making equipment with their scents. Pre-flavored coffee is not flavored with syrups but with very powerful oils. Avoid them at all costs. Other problems exist but that is not the purpose of this article.“
