I started drinking  flavored coffee while delivering newspapers, I would stop for coffee at one of several White Hen convenience shops. These are open 24 hours daily, but fresh coffee is usually done about 3:30 to 4AM. The coffee while not considered gourmet, it was good and properly brewed (not watery). That was when I discovered the assorted flavored coffees as  they brewed several and I was able to try them. My initial favorite was Irish Cream (I am sure it was the aroma that got me) but I was quickly wooed away by Hazelnut and stuck with that until the past year. My favorite way of drinking it was with about a teaspoon of  sugar. I then began to use one of the flavored creams since the Black coffee stained my teeth. Of these assorted creamers Hazel nut became the favorite. The combination of the flavored coffee and the flavored creamers was too sweet but it took  a while for me to figure this out and only after a mention by my daughter about the combination and her comment that the duo was too sweet. Once I began to use  an unflavored coffee with the flavored creamers the results were much better and my enjoyment of coffee has grown, an occasional tip of the Irish adds variety.
