I don't like *any* flavorings in my coffee, with the occasional exception
of mocha. Vanilla, hazelnut, raspberry, etc., literry turn my stomach when
I smell them.

OTOH, years ago when I did drink hot coffee, we frequented a restaurant
whose signature coffee had chicory and cinnamon stick added to the brew
basket. I really did like that, at the time.
