What is Vanilla Coffee?

Why put vanilla flavor in coffee?

Vanilla has delicate, warm, sweet, and creamy flavor notes which makes it the perfect addition to black coffee and iced lattes. That’s why people add vanilla to their coffee, it’s a subtle yet sweet addition that can take every coffee to new flavor heights! 

If you like coffee but sometimes find it slightly bitter, adding vanilla can help take away some of the bitterness and make your coffee taste slightly sweeter. We already know vanilla and dairy make the perfect pairing, that’s why vanilla ice cream is so popular. 

Can I put vanilla extract in my coffee?

Yes, you could but you may need to add sugar, sweetener, or cream as the flavor will likely be too intense as it's an extract.

How to create your favourite vanilla coffee at home.

People often want to replicate their coffee shop bought vanilla coffee at home. A simple option is to use vanilla extract, but be careful, the majority of vanilla extracts do contain sugar so you may be sweetening your coffee with sugar not just sweet vanilla. There will no doubt be less sugar in vanilla extract then in a flavored syrup or processed creamer however, that could potentially make vanilla coffee bad for you!

How much vanilla should you put in your coffee?

The problem comes when you are trying to create a well balanced brew. Knowing how much vanilla to add to your coffee is often a matter of trial and error; that can mean coffee often gets wasted. 

Some people add vanilla extract to their ground coffee before putting it in their French press and adding hot water. Others add a few drops of vanilla extract into their iced latte to turn it into the most popular espresso based coffee in America!

What is French Vanilla Coffee?

There isn't actually a French vanilla coffee bean.  The name refers to the French way of making ice cream using egg yolks to give the ice cream a richer and stronger vanilla flavor. 

There are a number of different types of vanilla bean and they all have different flavor profiles. The most well known vanilla beans come from Madagascar and Mexico. 

But don’t worry, FBMC's French Vanilla flavored Super Coffee Concentrate contains no egg so it’s perfect for vegans and everybody looking for great tasting coffee!
