Most flavored coffee today is prepared by pouring liquid flavors (originally derived from candy flavors) over the roasted coffee beans and letting them soak into the beans. Most liquid flavors are comprised of flavoring ingredients (both liquids and powders) and a chemical solvent carrier, usually propylene glycol. A typical liquid flavor may be as much as 85% propylene glycol!

Propylene glycol is a clear, odorless chemical that has been used as an additive in foods and beverages for years. More recently, however, there has been a growing global concern over the use of propylene glycol and other solvents.

In addition to these global concerns, propylene glycol is a bitter-tasting substance, and the use of it in foods and beverages can give a bitter aftertaste. Sometimes, this bitterness is attributed to the coffee, but in truth you are tasting the propylene glycol in your cup.

Storehouse Coffee Company uses a solvent-free flavor system to flavor your coffee; no chemical solvents or carriers. The result is the best-tasting flavored coffee you can buy, and there is no bitter chemical aftertaste.
