Flavoring Coffee Beans

[DAME]

I would like to learn more about the process of flavoring coffee beans, and where would I buy the flavors from?

Any ideas and or suggestions, are greatly appreciated.

All though I find flavoring a beautiful thing like coffee a “SIN” :lol: , I do understand their importance in the coffee biz. I wish I could be like the “Soup Nazi” and say “NO COFFEE FOR YOU” :wink: but, here are a couple places to get oils, the instructions usually come with your order. Around a ½ oz to a pound I think. Hopefully this helps.

Have a “Very Merry Christmas” :grin:
I am sure that these fine folks here will have some other suppliers to list for you.

I am also interested in the process - when does the flavoring happen from green bean to store shelf?

after the coffee has cooled...and be sure to flavor your coffee away from anything that you do not want to smell of pancake syrup...that includes yourself! One ounce flavors 2 lbs...so if you get this stuff on you are going to smell for days :wink:

Thanks for the lesson! So does it all end up smelling like pancake syrup? And most importantly, is pancake syrup a natural aphrodisiac? :?

As a purist, I never recommend flavoring coffee. But I will if asked. As Topher stated the flavoring is VERY strong and sticky. Also most of the flavoring is synthetic, and if you don't mind all the other fake stuff in your life, no need to be concerned about this either.
