For most people, coffee is the most important part of their day and nothing seems more invigorating than a splendid cup of its fresh richness.
Even if you’re not a coffee fanatic and occasionally do enjoy a cup at your favorite café like campus coffee you might have seen unending lists of names of flavors and combinations of coffees mixed with all these different ingredients.
Though some might believe that the best way to enjoy coffee is to let it be but for those who want just a bit extra and not a lot of that punch of tastiness, there are tons of flavors to skim through.
There are different ways to enjoy a kick of flavor in your coffee. You can either add flavor to the coffee beans before you brew them or you can add the flavor later on.
There are many companies that sell pre-flavored beans that add just a subtle hint of flavor to the coffee without overwhelming it.
In order to shed some well-deserved spotlight on our top 7 coffee flavors and to introduce you to the best ones, we’ve made a list!
1. French Vanilla

Vanilla is by far the most famous flavor in the world whether it’s in cakes, teas, ice creams, and of course, coffee. Vanilla may seem like a very cliché and mainstream choice but the sweetness of vanilla fits perfectly with the rich bitter blend of the coffee.
French vanilla is very light yet detectable and will add a slight sweetness to any coffee light or strong.
French vanilla is among the most famous or most ordered flavors, also because it can easily accommodate and work well with other flavors of coffee as well as hazelnut and caramel.
Many restaurants and cafes are able to make perfect blends of cappuccino, macchiato, and Frappuccino with French vanilla as their main ingredient. If you can’t find flavored beans just add flavoring syrup to your cart the next time you go grocery shopping.
2. Caramel Macchiato

A hot steamy cup of milk and freshly brewed espresso with a rich and creamy sweet taste of caramel; you can’t think of anything more enticing. Caramel Macchiato is not a subtle drink. It is packed with flavor; a strong punch of coffee and a bold creamy taste of caramel.
It may seem like the tastes might overwhelm each other and ruin the point of the whole drink but surprisingly, espresso and caramel work perfectly together.
For true coffee lovers who want just a tad more of the bitter richness of coffee, you can ask more espresso which will make for an even bolder combination of the two.
You can even make this at home with caramel coffee syrup. If you don’t want that heaviness of the milk and a pure rich blend of caramel and espresso alone, it’s a feast for your taste buds.
3. Chocolate Mocha

There’s nothing that chocolate won’t make better. Mocha is a perfect drink especially for newbies and teens that haven’t developed a taste of true coffee yet but want to try it without having it way too strong on the first go.
This hot yummy beverage is purely a cup of hot chocolate with a dash of bold coffee flavor. There are many different types of mochas like Frappuccino and Lattes. It is easy on the tongue and no flavor completely dominates the other.
It has that sweet blend of pure chocolate and the boldness of coffee you can enjoy over a casual lunch out with friends.
4. Hazelnut

Hazelnut is a very strong flavor on its own but not in a bad way. We’ve all enjoyed the usual gorgeous blend of hazelnut in chocolate like Ferrero Rocher and our very personal favorite, Nutella.
But hazelnut in coffee has been a much-underrated flavor for a long time. In reality, the strong taste of hazelnut fits perfectly with the toasty flavor of the coffee.
Hazelnut may not be a quite preferable flavor in anything on its own but mixed with a hot cup of coffee; it hits you on another level.
It is not only a famous flavor to be added in a simple cup of coffee but has also been made popular in mochas and cappuccinos.
People who are usually quite partial to a strong coffee taste also enjoy this genius fusion. This is great for a thick cup of milk coffee or even with an espresso.

With this fall season, some of us are still stuck in our Halloween phase and for advent lovers of spooky tales and coy blankets surrounded by books and a delicious hot drink, pumpkin spice is the perfect flavor of choice.
This might be a very basic and mainstream flavor but you can’t deny how undoubtedly delicious it is. It can be a fun tasty addition to your morning coffee ritual.
This flavor is not even available all throughout the year in many places and can only be found during the winters so get yourself a nice steaming hot mug of it while you can.
6. Peppermint

Peppermint sounds perfect when you see your gourmet food garnished with it or maybe a nice cup of hot green tea but the thought of peppermint and coffee just doesn’t add up.
Luckily for you, someone already dared to mi the two flavors and what do you know, it is genius and fantastic.
The most popular combination of peppermint with coffee is a peppermint mocha latte which gives the richness of coffee blended perfectly with a light minty flavor and the sweetness of chocolate. Don’t judge it before you try it.
7. Cinnamon

There’s no beverage that cinnamon can’t make better. Coffee and cinnamon are both very strong flavors but they complement each other in a beautiful blend quite well.
These lattes are mostly famous around Christmas and make for a rather perfect seasonal drink.
Cinnamon increases the sweet taste of your coffee without you having to add any processed sugar to it. Not only does it make coffee taste better but it’s also rich in antioxidants and great for a healthy body.
Conclusion
Try all these delicious coffee flavors this fall for a tasty merry season!
