Flavored coffee products specialize in the customization of coffee and coffee related products to the awaiting consumer. There are literally an endless combination of possibilities that can be had by mixing and matching flavors.

The coffee industry is responsible for bringing $50 billion annually to the world economy in both coffee and coffee related merchandise. Coffee custom flavored beans and merchandise are an important part of that coffee industry.
Surprisingly, not one taste fits all, but the coffee industry believes that one gourmet coffee bean can fit a lot of people. All that you have to do is to boast a bit of flavor and viola, instant customer satisfaction. You can find flavors for coffee custom flavored beans at almost any retailer.
If you feel adventurous, you can attempt to mix and blend your own flavorings. Add your own coffee bean roaster and you can create your own coffee custom flavored beans. Coffee connoisseurs around the world thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to customize their coffee drinking experience one custom coffee bean at a time.
Coffee retailers are more than ready to meet the demand of the people. Coffee retailers will often offer not only gourmet coffee beans, but will allow their loyal patrons the opportunity to purchase various flavored coffee syrups.
Gourmet coffee syrups can be used to flavor the finished brewed gourmet cup of coffee, or gourmet coffee syrups can be used to create coffee custom flavored beans. Each coffee syrup adds a unique and unusual taste to the gourmet coffee. 
For a taste adventure, try mixing and creating different recipes of coffee syrups for a taste melody in your coffee cup.
Coffee shops serve a wide range of coffee syrups and flavored coffee beans. Many times those coffee beans and coffee syrups will have a private label created by the coffee shop owner or franchise.

Different Tasty Coffee Varieties
Posted by gourmet coffee snob on 16 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: gourmet coffee snob, Gourmet Coffee Snob Sez
There are thousands of coffee varieties from all over the world. This
plethora of choices can make picking a coffee at the local grocery store
quite a tough decision-making process.
To make your life easier, keep reading for a breakdown and description of
some of the world's most popular coffee varieties.
Sumatra
Sumatra coffee is traditionally grown on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
It's known as a dark, but not darkly roasted, medium body coffee with a low
acidity and a strong, almost bittersweet taste.
Sumatra tends to have an earthy, almost fruity, taint to it and can be an
ideal choice as a dessert coffee.
Kona
Kona coffee is grown on the slopes of Mount Hualalai and Mauna Loa on the
big island of Hawaii. Because of its rarity, rich volcanic birthplace and
amazing taste, Kona coffee has built a reputation for itself as one of the
best coffees in the world. This also unfortunately makes it one of the most
expensive.
Because of the high price, many retailers sell blends of Kona coffee that
include a percentage of Kona beans alongside cheaper Columbian or Brazilian
Arabica beans.
Arabica
Arabica coffee is the sole bean of Columbia and the predominant bean of
choice in most South and Central American countries. Typically, the Arabica
has less caffeine than a Robusta blend, but much more flavor.
It's best suited for a medium roast and is traditionally used for most
standard, American coffee blends. The flavor, body and acidity of Arabica
beans depend on the region in which it's grown and the method used to
cultivate it.
Kenya
While almost all the beans grown in Kenya are Arabica beans, they have a
distinct taste and flavor. These beans are washed, have a higher acidic
level and a much livelier, sweeter taste than a South or Central American
Arabica.
That blackberry flavor of the Kenyan bean is also mimicked by the Harrar
coffee bean, which hails from Ethiopia.
Robusta
Robusta has less flavor and a lower quality than the Arabica bean, but it's
cheaper to produce, faster to grow, and more tolerant of weather conditions
and diseases. The Robusta bean is often used for instant coffees, decaf
blends, supermarket coffees and instant espressos.
A Robusta bean contains about twice the caffeine as an Arabica bean, which
also makes it a popular choice for espresso junkies looking for a quick fix.
The bean is grown in Africa, Java, Vietnam, Bali and Sri Lanka.

How to make Perfect Iced Coffee with free coffee
Posted by gourmet coffee snob on 15 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: gourmet coffee snob
Free coffee is the best to use with this coffee recipe.
This won't work unless you can put ice cubes in your
blender without breaking it. You might want to test it
first. I'll wait … Did it break?
No? Good. Then let's proceed
First get some good coffee. Hopefully from us.
Brew up a pot and let it cool some because you're
going to make ice cubes with it and you don't want to
melt your ice cube tray.
Make coffee ice cubes.
Now it's time to not break your blender. Put in 6 to 8
coffee cubes per serving into the blender.
Add a 2 to 3 ounces per serving of cream, half & half,
milk, nonfat milk, pre-mixed non-dairy creamer, soy or
rice milk, or whatever milk-like substance you prefer
into the blender…ice cream always comes to my mind.
(Real Important) Put The Top on the Blender before you
turn it on.
Turn on the blender. (Noisy isn't it?)
Blend until the mixture is almost milkshake-like.
(Real Important) Turn off the blender before you take
the top off to taste.
Add whatever sugar-like substance you use to taste.
Blend a bit to more make sure the sweetener is
incorporated.
Taste it again. Good isn't it?
If your blender breaks and you really like this type
of iced coffee you might want to buy an ice crusher
… and another blender. Cheap blenders
tolerate pre-crushed coffee cubes mo' better.
Do not make this drink at night because blender noise
wakes up all the dogs within a two block radius.
Note:
Adding alcohol to this iced drink during the blending
stage makes a fine refreshing summer drink that turns
mowing the lawn into a challenging and possibly lethal
task…but it's great tasting coffee.
Enjoy!

HOW MANY CUPS OF COFFEE PER POUND?
Posted by gourmet coffee snob on 13 Mar 2008 | Tagged as: gourmet coffee snob
HOW MANY CUPS OF COFFEE PER POUND?
It sounds like an easy question: How many cups of coffee can you brew from one pound of whole beans? The question is simple, it`s just the answer that gets a little complicated! It would be much easier if everyone had the same idea about the size of a `cup`?
Do you mean one of those dainty after-dinner coffee cups? Or maybe one of those big caffe-latte cups? Or a coffee mug even?And how much coffee do you put in the coffee maker? Do you add a little extra for a stronger cup of coffee?
As you can see, there is no accurate answer, because we all use different cups.But here`s a guideline for you, assuming you use an `average` sized cup. For each pound of whole coffee beans, you can expect to brew 30-40 cups of coffee.
============
Gourmet Coffees Cost Only Pennies Per Cup for Premium Coffee When Brewed at Home From Fresh Roasted 100% Grade A Arabica Beans
Gourmet Coffee drinkers have become accustomed to paying $2 or more per cup for fresh brewed coffees at Premium coffee houses and many sources are predicting those prices may increase to as much as $4 per cup soon due to expected increases in green coffee prices.
Smart gourmet coffee consumers have long known that premium coffee brewed at home costs just 12 cents or less per cup, depending on preferences for coffee strength.
Many coffee producers recommend starting with 1 tablespoon of fresh ground gourmet coffee beans per standard 6 ounce cup of water. Starbucks recommends double that amount for stronger coffees at 2 tablespoons per 6 ounce cup.
A pound of gourmet coffee (that is 16 Ounces or 1 Lb.) divided by 1 1/2 Ounces comes to roughly 10 pots of 10 cups (6 Ounce cups) equaling 100 cups for the cost of one pound of gourmet coffee beans.
At the average of 1.5 tablespoons per 6 ounce cup and average size of 12 ounce coffee mug, you can expect 50 cups of home brewed coffee per pound of gourmet beans!
Prices of premium gourmet beans range between $12 and $18 per pound, making a cup of home-brewed gourmet coffee, made fresh to your liking, cost only between .12 cents and .25 cents per cup!
Even the rarest and most expensive coffee sold, the exotic Kopi Luwak, at $175 per pound, is still less than $1.75 per cup when brewed at home!
Gourmet coffee consumers rarely consider the cost of their daily coffee in terms of how much it would cost to brew at home with prices of a pound of gourmet coffee beans versus a three cup a day coffee drinking habit at premium coffee house prices.
