I am so ghastly sick of "hazelnut", I could explosively vomit. Why would anyone want their coffee to taste like a nut? What's next? Peanut? International Coffee used to make a Kahlua flavored creamer that was delicious, but they discontinued it, much to my dismay. Leave the caramels and butterscotch to the candy industry....especially the nuts.

25% of coffee drinkers in the US should stop drinking Maxwell House. Then they'd realize that good coffee is flavorful on its own.

I love hazelnuts, caramel, and butterscotch! Just not in my coffee. (Those coffee drinks are really more milk than coffee. Oddly enough, I'm fine with coffee-flavored milk) Most of those creamers aren't even flavored with whatever it is that its supposed to taste like. It's twice the insult - artifically flavoring one thing to make another thing taste like something else. What kind of sense does that make?

Like so many others, I try to cut calories where I can, but I don't like what aspartame may do to me, so I use Splenda. I was asking my roommate if she thought it was possible for me to make vanilla Splenda, like vanilla sugar. I'm happy to see I don't have to now, and I can have mare flavours that just vanilla!

Camille, I'm completely with you!

GC, I made Vanilla Splenda with a bean, just as you mentioned. Works great.

I don't like flavored coffees and perhaps these will encourage office workers to stop making an entire pot of office coffee with "Kona Hazelnut Vanilla Cinnamon Surprise" just because ONE person is in the mood for it. That flavored coffee smells and tastes wretched.

I am glad to see these out. I love flavored coffees as well as capps and frozen lattes, but after 2 cups of flavored coffee, I make a pot of regular to lat the rest of the day. Now, I can just make one pot in the morning and have the flavored whenever I want. By the way, the best flavored coffee I have found is Millstone coffee. The Folger's Cinnamon is pretty decent too for $3.00 a can.

I have acquired a bunch of samples of this product and love it!!!!!! I detest the "flavored" coffees that they make at work, they never taste like what they are supposed to and there is just something very wrong with a bag of coffee labeled pumpkin suprise. So, I have to put up with getting my plain coffee from the vending machine coffee which is wretched swill too. But with the splenda flavors I can actually hide the vending machine taste and they taste like they are supposed to without adding extra calories. I just wish that they were easier to find.

I would agree that I'm sick of hazelnut, too. It seems to find its way into everything coffee these days. The Kahlua was absolutely great and if I could ever find amaretto creamer, I might buy it. Same goes for that cinnamon that Folgers came out with. They have been replaced by.. hazelnut.. everywhere I go. I'm glad that Splenda actually came out with a product that has found its way into the coffee shops and stores so that when sugar isn't avail I can actually get some sweet. Because no one enjoys the ER because someone handed them a sugar-free instead of regular.. especially not me. As for those flavoured coffees.. you guys might want to mention to your co-workers that some of those flavours are achieved by using things like kerosene, gasoline and such. Perhaps they should find out how they are flavouring that. I used to work for a coffee roaster, and while mine didn't do that there were plenty that did. How much flavour do some of those people need that the label has 5 different ones on it? Do they hate the taste of coffee that much? What's wrong with vanilla sugar/splenda?
