Rum and chocolate have been added to coffee for almost as long as coffee has been produced. Some of newest gourmet flavored coffee includes vanilla, macadamia, and even peanut butter! Not all these flavors are everyone's “cup of tea”, but taste sensations of gourmet flavored coffee give you a new outlook on Java juice. Try out some of these special flavors -- you may find a favorite that you always come back to. Just look at some of these types of gourmet flavored coffee -- apricot cream, Black Forest cake, Café Napoleon, chocolate raspberry, Jamaican rum, Southern pecan and vanilla hazelnut. The names by themselves makes your mouth water.
