Flavored coffee leaves bad taste.

QUESTION:

I am a new coffee drinker and am puzzled by the fact that whenever I indulge in a flavored coffee, ie: vanilla, hazelnut, etc, it leaves a very unpleasant after taste similar to a bitter metallic taste. I do not have this problem when drinking regular coffee, thankfully. Is this common? And why is it only the flavored coffee that this occurs?

Thanks for your input.


ANSWER:

Interesting. It may be that you are super-sensitive to the chemicals they use to impregnate coffee beans with flavor.

No, most flavoured coffee is not flavored naturally. It is flavored with chemicals cooked up by chemists in white coats. Unfortunately, very few flavored coffees come by their exotic flavors naturally.

I don’t know whether the weird taste you are experiencing is because of these chemicals, but you might want to try some natural alternatives.
