Jason, I’m wondering how a 1Quickcup Hazelnut might compare to a whole bean Hazelnut coffee. Like you, I am not a fan of flavored coffee, but I wonder if the difference is the one company over the other, or if it is just the single serve brewing method. I occasionally use a Flavia and am not crazy about even their more standard coffees.
qotd? I have also had a chocolate covered cricket. It was sort of like a Mr. Goodbar or a Hersey’s with almonds — you taste mostly chocolate, but it has a little crunch to it.

Wow, chocolate covered bacon sounds like fun!
QOTD – I’ve had a chocolate covered twinkies before. Those were delicious but way over the top.

Like Neil – I have never been a fan of flavoured coffee, particularly company made gear.
While not a coffee exclusionist, I consider these kind of beverages to be “coffee like drinks”.
Never would it occur to me to ask a guest if they would like a coffee, and THEN ask them how much hazelnut they could like in it LOL.
Chocoloate dipped bacon?
Yup it’d be fine.
QOTD: I have eaten so many things dipped in chocolate, I think my weirdness is due to the variety, rather than single odd things. Someone gave me a genuine 70′s fondue set a while back. We have a “dip what you can find” ploicy if ever it is fired up!

I’m completely against flavored coffees. Its for the same reason that I refuse to put milk in my coffee. Its taking away from the integrity that makes a coffee unique. Its making the coffee more generic. Also, I kind of feel like its a slight to coffee farmers. Imagine taking a Rembrandt and making it into wallpaper.

This is in regard to flavoured coffees. Shanda, I emphatize with you on your feelings about putting flavourings in coffee. It is like mixing gingerale with a high shelf bourbon that is meant to be drank alone by itself.
However, with this in mind, and for those out there who like a flavoured coffee I have
come up with liQuid heaVen.
The only Torrefacto-roasted full and balanced neutral blended coffee ‘specifically for flavoured creamers’. liQuid heaVen is non-proprietary and was made for all one cup coffee brewers. Shanda, Andrew, Jason this blend is not for you who drink their coffee black or with regular creamer. This is strictly for those who like Andrew said,’like their coffe like drinks.’ Trust me on this. It took me over three years to come up with liQuid
heaVen and it truly compliments any creamer of your choice.
