    I'm one of those black coffee drinkers, I think freshly ground coffee beans have more than enough flavor on their own! As for the flavor, I have had the flavored Splenda packets in the past to make some bad coffee a bit more bearable, and they weren't too bad.

    Flavored coffee and 1/2c. skim milk hot out of micro wave, splenda. Calories 45, we call it cafe letche. I used to have 120 calorie worth of carnation dry creamer until I realized the first indriediant is corn syrup no wonder it was hard to give up. Dont miss it any more since my coffee has a special name.

    Try Torini Sugar Free syrups in any flavor that is to your liking. I especially like the Caramel.
    I am having a hard time finding them!!!!

    Another idea I heard of recently if you like the frothy foam in your coffee and you use any type of creamer, milk, soy or almond is to buy a frother at of all places Walmart! It's under $10 and just adds some extra creaminess effect without adding the extra calories! I haven't used it but I'm considering it to cut down on my sugar free creamer. Good luck!

    Be a man and have it straight up, now that's coffee love, not cream love.
    I have my freshly brewed Starbucks straight up, no frills & venti sized. The rest is fluff.
    Yep, that'll whip you in shape. that and the rest of a good diet/exercise - of course.
    You can do it! Plus, no wait in line for anything, not even for those sissies mixing their "healthier" brown sugar in, other than getting your cup and a napkin. Even if it's and acquired taste you can do it. And stay with Starbucks, that's the real caffeine punch. No go place your order! ;)

    lol thanks for pulling the "sissy boy wants flavored coffee" card, I didn't expect that one lol

    Diet..check, exercise, check....and yeah I agree, Starbucks is good enough for me....I'd love to get the "real" stuff, but as much coffee as I take in, I'd go broke in no time, so that ain't gonna happen...I have black coffee from time to time, but hey, I like a little different flavor sometimes, so :)

    My mother in law uses sugar free syrups for flavor, there are some yummy ones out there. I should start doing that myself, I'm a coffee junkie

    Awesome thanks for the suggestions guys :) I forgot to mention that I've tried the sugar-free versions of the Coffeemates/International Delights, and they tasted fairly rancid lol Of course, I didn't try them all....I definitely will try the Torini though, never heard of that one!

    I really love the skinny caramel and white chocolate mocha versions (with truvia in my coffee as well) have you tried those?

    I think someone else above suggested the same thing- Do you think if it is really god coffee you may not need anything extra?

    I recently had a medium roast coffee from Papa New Guinea at a local coffee that was French pressed and simply rich and delicious all on its own.

    Well, yes I have, I usually buy Starbucks ( I know, most people think it's burnt tasting, but I love the aroma and taste of the stronger, darker coffees)...but I've tried different kinds...I ALWAYS grind my own, never use preground....and just use NJOY and a little splenda...I think though, the Torini looks awesome, I'll have to try it.

    I like Starbucks, too! But when I drink Starbucks I usually add a shot of espresso to it so it tastes richer and then just a dash of Splenda. I can't do Starbucks plain- doesn't taste good enough to me. Have you tried Peet's coffee? Now THAT is strong coffee straight from the Bay Area. Delicious.
