Posted Thu Jan 26, 2012, 6:55pm Subject: Flavored Coffee Syrups as Gift Idea
Hi Everyone!
I am a newbie here and would like to here opinions from people who loves coffee, drinks coffee, coffee masters, and the likes. I've been thinking if flavored coffee syrups are good gift ideas for the holidays and if they are, what are the best coffee syrups brand would you recommend. I am also thinking of giving out coffee syrups not only during the holidays but with other occasions as well. I think coffee syrups are unique gift items that would give warmth to the receiver. Thanks for the reply.

If you are interested in a high quality syrup, the Monin brand is one of the best. They have my favorite vanilla (Monin Vanilla Syrup) of all the brands that I have tried.
However, not every coffee aficionado likes his drinks flavoured. I dare to say, that most CoffeeGeeks drink their espressos and milk drinks straight. So, it's best to ask the person in mind about his or her predilection.

Personally I don't but guest will ask some times ask for a lightly sweetened drink. My goto has become "Toasted Marshmallow" from Torani. If Monin has the same I would go that route.
