No flavoreds. And it is near impossible to get espresso from most pod machines. Espresso is a high pressure brew and pod machines do not generate the pressure needed. _________________ Aslan is not a Tame Lion |

I really don't like flavored coffees all that much, but I have to say that the Fratello Highlander Grog is pretty good.  _________________

Thanks for the comments. I have a good selection of pods to rotate for my morning cup. What I now need are some dessert type selections for my evening cup.
Ok, call me an elitist coffee pig, but I look for something different in my evening cup - something smoother, sweeter, creamier, maybe with nut or chocolate or spicey dessert type flavors.
In a nutshell - it keeps me out of the cookie jar or ice cream tub
Coffee - a great substitute, well almost

I'll second Fratello's Misty Valley. You'll get a mouthful of blueberry flavour. Another Fratello that's quite yummy is their Highlander Grogg. _________________ Keurig B66

This thread inspired me to try the Fratello Highlander Grogg pod I'd had in the stash for a while. It was actually really good! The butterscotch aroma was strong enough that I expected the worst, but in the cup the flavoring was nice and mild.
I also remember liking Fratello's Bavarian Dutch Chocolate and Coconut Fiesta, Reunion Island's Vanilla Hazelnut Cream, and (to my utter amazement) the JavaPodz Blueberry Cobbler. I wouldn't buy a whole box of any of these though.
I agree with the recommendations of Fratello's Ethiopian Misty Valley. Natural blueberry goodness! _________________ Grindmaster OPOD, Keurig B40, Nespresso D90, Clever Coffee Dripper + Hario Skerton mill

I'm not a huge flavored coffee fan, but I do like the Fratello Snickerdoodle, smells just like the cookie.  _________________ Lynn
