|  askjosh | Jul 24, 2007 4:53am | | Once while I was away on a trip for a training course, I encountered one of those coffee making machine. Oh, this machine had it all! You would press the buttons next to the LCD screen to choose all these delightful flavoured coffees. Now, I'm not suggesting the machine did anything but brew the coffee, but it certainly got me interesting in all the different flavours of coffee. My point? Could someone help me track down how coffee is flavoured (fav is french vanilla) and maybe something about these coffee super machines. ta. |

This would make upkeep (cleaning, etc) and resupply of the machine easier. This would also mean that the "flavorings" were most likely artificial flavorings or had chemical preservatives and/or stabilizers added to them to extend their "lifetime" and flavor while they sat in the machine. |

Boyers buys flavors in 5 gallon pails which the spray on the beans after roasting , a roommate worked there and brought several empty buckets home with just a drizzle left in them, pourd it into a small glass and put into a window for air freshener, :) |

|  dekonstruct | Sep 10, 2007 8:32am | | when you buy it already flavored they coat the beans in an oil after they roast them, much like vecours already said. At my local shop they have flavored syrups they can spray in there if you feel creative. Nothing beats just plain old black coffee (well roasted of course) in my opinion. |
