Flavored Coffee surprise

[jen kalb]

This morning at the office Keurig machine I figured, a little cinnamon in my coffee, how could that hurt me? I sprinkle it in my espresso drinks sometimes. I therefore used the "Cinnamon Pastry" flavor of coffee available. Now, I generally hate flavored coffees such as the detested hazelnut, vanilla etc, but decided, given the fact that the selection presented were only decaf and flavored at that moment ot go with the least offensive choice.

I was shocked to find that this stuff actually tasted like cinnamon pastry, not like coffee at all! (thankfully I have never tried the blueberry versions) What is the appeal of coffee that tastes like a bread product rather than coffee? And how do they do it, exactly?

I don't know how they do it, but may favorite flavors are things like Cinnamon Danish, Toasted Souther Pecan, and Creme Brulee. The vanilla and hazelnut flavors are so common that I can't stand them anymore.

I think they add vanilla, if you want my opinion. I can swear I taste vanilla.
