Festive coffee??

I love the egg nog latte. It tastes like egg nog, tiny bit like coffee, but it's AMAZING!!!!!

They did a dark cherry mocha a few years ago, that was heavenly. Festive coffees do taste like coffee but it's more like a background flavour if that makes sense. The only coffee I can drink is nescafe instant with lots of milk and sugar or "buggered about" coffees as my dad calls them so I'm probably not the best one to give advice.

I love the gingerbread latte. The festive coffees arriving in starbucks is my sign that it is time to get festive!!!

as its a latte it is pretty milky. maybe take the leap and try a small one?

I feel the same, i want to try but hate coffee. Get yasen to Costa. Xmas black forest hot chocolate is to die for!

The salted caramel latte at Costa is bliss

Ahh boo even a mild coffee taste is enough to put me off.

yes costas Black Forest hot chocolate is 'mazers I was hoping the coffees would be more of the same but sadly sounds like they are not for me.

I used to drink starbucks before I liked coffee!

I now prefer Cafe Nero or the independant places.

I'm currently sipping on an Amaretto Latte from Neros. Its far too sweet but I dont care. AND I got an Amaretti biscuit with it! #winning

I have a good few a week once the festive coffees come out! We only have a Costa where I live, so I've been living off salted caramel lattes and black forest/honeycomb hot chocolate this week. Just about to pop up and get a creme brulee latte!

I now want an egg nog latte.

Don't rate the creme brulee one from Costa. Might try some other flavours though, as we only have a Costa here, have to travel for my beloved Starbucks.

you asked exactly what i asked Mr F after seeing the christmas menus last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know coffee iSNT what i should be getting into right now being upduffed but it sounds so fabulous!!!

Don't know if they still do this, but you used to be able to buy the gingerbread syrup from Starbucks. You could make the weakest possible coffee for yourself and whack in loads of the syrup to get the flavour without the coffee taste!

ETA or put the syrup into hot chocolate!

I love me a salted caramel latte.

Minty hot chocolates are pretty awesome too!

This! I hated coffee before discovering gingerbread latte. Now I'm a black Americano double espresso girl!

OK - I am now drinking my creme brulee latte. I believe Costa puts two shots in a medium size, but personally it doesn't taste coffee-y (coffee-ish?!) to me, but I do drink my coffee black.

If I were a coffee virgin, maybe I'd ask for a large latte, but with only one shot of coffee, plus the flavourings.

Funky - are you a hot chocolate fan? Perhaps try a mocha?

I don't drink a lot of coffee but love the festive Costa coffees especially the gingerbread latte.

This is my mornings set for the next few months (I got a few bottles).

It's actually quite nice just in hot milk (instead of cocoa) if you don't like coffee. It's really sweet, though, and I need the bitterness of the coffee to offset it.

ETA: a chai latte is delicious with one less shot of chai, and a shot of gingerbread added in its place!!

I'm so glad there are other Coffee haters. If me and my friends go for "coffee" i'm always made to feel like a small child for ordering a hot chocolate!! ?

However I did try a gingerbread latte a few years back and really liked it. If i'm feeling a bit daring around the festive period i'll sacrifice my usual chocolaty experience for one. I'd give it a go funky!

i have Mr F a tassimo for his birthday at the end of Nove,ber, perhaps il try one of his coffees and then hopefully go all out and try the festive flavours!

I want to go & try one after this thread now! I am in town this weekend I will now going to Starbucks or Costa.

I had a gingerbread latte last night thanks to Flow's inspiration and it was YUM!

I took the plunge today people... OH had a caramel latte and I tried some (although OH said it was the worst latte he had ever had so probably not the best one to try) but I actually really liked it!!! eeek is this going to be a slippery slope into the world of coffee?

Yay! Yes it probably is!

I tried a sip of Mum's Mocha ages ago after years of just choosing hot chocolate, and now I love coffee!

?

I can't bear the stuff, makes me gag!

But then if I drink tea, it's proper builder's stuff.
