Coffee certainly has enjoyed sustained success as the next big beverage for quite some time now. Move over, tea! You’re only for Brits and people who need to calm down before going to bed on a chilly winter’s evening. But a love for coffee isn’t as simple as walking up to the counter at Starbucks and ordering whatever sounds the most Italian. No, it takes a little more work than that.

You might say that coffee is an acquired taste, as it will often strike people as bitter upon first encounter. For this reason, people will commonly add milk and sugar to a cup of coffee in a an effort to soften the impact or to sweeten the taste. For people with more of a sweet tooth, even that might not do the trick. The process of adding different flavors to coffee drinks — or even to the bean itself — is nothing new, but the number of coffee flavors available is increasing all the time.
