LorAnn--Coffee flavors

jackieba · 08-31-2007, 05:04 AM

Anyone tried the Fireside Coffee flavors from LorAnn oils? I was considering trying some. I tried a drop of the regular amaretto oil in my coffee and though it smelled good, it did not taste like amaretto. I kept adding sweetner to see if that would help but it didn't. So I was wondering how the ones for coffee turn out?
I'd also ask if anyone has tried the Fountain ice cream/shake flavors?

I bought some. Sad to say, I'm not impressed. I bought the Chocolate Raspberry and the Hazelnut Mocha. It takes about 10 drops per 8 oz cup of coffee, before the flavor is even barely noticeable, and I drink my coffee weak! Although I like the other LorAnn oils quite well, I won't be buying the Fireside Coffee Flavorings again.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of--when I tried the reg amaretto in coffee I didn't get any real flavor just aroma.

Amaretto DaVinci's is very flavorful in coffee, tastes like the real thing to me.

Yes, I've been very pleased with the DaVinci's flavors. I use them often, not only in coffee, but in many other ways.

I bought several of the regular LorAnn oils, and I've been very pleased with them, too. They are especially nice to use in recipes where I didn't/couldn't add a lot of additional liquid.

DaVinci's is too sweet for me in coffee. I was wanting flavor without having to be real sweet and I find DaVinci's has more sweetness than it does flavor (to my taste anyway).
I've been happy with the LorAnn flavor's I've used in baking and in ice cream/shakes.

On the other hand, the Butter Rum, the caramel coffee flavors, the toffee (Fireside) are great. I agree about the hazelnut version. . .

I don't always like "sweet" coffee so I tried the Fireside flavors, because DaVinci has sweetness.
