Coffee Syrup........anyone use it??

[Dave7]

I'm with @vickster. I'm not interested because I like the taste of coffee. I'm also suspicious of concentrated flavours, as they can taste pretty manky in my experience.

I'd also be suspicious of this. Syrup is sweet by definition.

Indeed. Apparently coffee sauce and coffee syrup are interchangeable and (so google tells me) are not sweet.
I had a coffee this morning and got the syrups out to choose one.
I chickened out and had straight coffee.

Why not just try it if you never have

I remember my grandad using camp coffee (with chicory), anybody still use that?

Used as gravy browning by mistake once. Needless to say the dinner was ruined

Yes - even though it now comes in a plastic bottle and they've whitewashed the label.

I believe Camp coffee/chicory was a product of coffee shortages after the Second World War, the chicory being used to 'extend' the amount of beans to hand.

It used to work out cheaper per cup than instant powder.

Thanks.
These are by Monin.
Just tried the Hazlenut.
Cant say I prefer it but it does give it a flavour......which is quite pleasant. Since getting the machine I have tried various types of coffee and my favourite is Americano. These will give me more options.
