I am not sure about it in coffee, but it is great in cocoa and I also.like it with chocolate protein mix for smoothies. You dont need enough to cause a color change in chocolate but when I use vanilla protein mix it does make it a mild green. It is very good and I highly recommend it.

This will give you a peppermint mocha taste but it may turn the coffee an odd color. This does not have any cream in it so it will not taste the same as a creamer based product. Other options for substitutions would be a regular creamer (half & half or whatever you normally use) plus this syrup. You could also try creamer, peppermint syrup (it's clear) plus some chocolate sauce (syrups and sauces are available sugar free).

I use the peppermint my breakfast/protein shakes, it is a low calorie alternative to creamer. It should not change the consistency of the coffee.

They don't taste similar. Coffee mate is a creamer, the syrup is not. You would also need half and half or heavy whipping cream if u want the creamer effect. The syrup has a slightly chocolate flavor in addition to the peppermint - like a chocolate peppermint patty. I think it tastes pretty good :)

It's not really "coffee" flavored to be honest. If you like your coffee with a lot of cream and sugar and stuff like that, you will probably like this. I don't think you can really taste a coffee flavor like if you were to brew a pot and add sugar and cream etc.

Ours is very minty, and leaves were very green. I used mine primarily as fillings for aroma eye mask refills. The mint is actually a bit too intense, I cut the refill with flax seed and some other dried herbs. My first batch was about 2/3 mint leaves but it actually leaves your skin tingling which surprised me because the leaves are dry and the eye mask casing is made of silk which prevents any mint from directly touching the skin. Not sure what you are using it for but it's definitely strong.

Hi Maam,There's a product by the swiss Miss, called "Hills Bros. Cappucino double Mocha" that is GREAT. I've used it in this and I tend to make my own differing flavors. I'll take the swiss Miss or any Gourmet mixes and add to the Milk,then I tend to Drizzle in Hersey's syrup even... Over Kill but HOLY KRAP!!!! SHAZAM!!!! It's AWESOME!!!! :) I hope this helps.

I have no idea, I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I do know that my family and friends tell me I make the best coffee. I use Tully's french roast decaf and Green MOuntain Black Magic regular. They are the cheaper coffees and with comments like I get, why switch??? I also use the Coffee Mate Hazelnut creamer. Around the holidays, I'll add a splash of whiskey with whipped cream and a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg for guests. Never got a bad comment yet.

Hi azbeachgirl. If you can tell me how to tell if the color is Mocha or Sunset, I can check mine and let you know. It is right in front of me in my office.can reach out to me via email if that is easier: mhorist@gmail.com

This stuff is a blend. Some blends are fine. This one is not my favorite. To me it is a little harsh and has too dark a roast. (The darker the roast, the harder it is to distinguish different coffees. It just tastes burnt.) My major objection is using the Kona label without specifying a blend. It's a bait and switch.

I purchased this cream as a substitute for acid mantel cream, which I have used for years and love. This was close, but didn't work quite as well. Almost the same texture, but not the same great results. It is the closest cream to acid mantel that I have found. I would like to know why acid mantel cream isn't sold anymore?

I really don't picture it tasting "right" with chocolate... It is indeed delicious, but to me it's more of a softer taste, like a coffee-flavored tea. Well, wait a minute... Let me make some and see!! Ha... Hmmm... Gee, actually it's pretty good! I added more Dandy Blend than I normally would have to make it stronger. Better than I thought it would be!! I totally love caf mochas, so this is a decent alternative indeed. Not AS good, but yes, you could live with this!! :)

Mine doesn't have white on top either and is from some other company called wellness scent! I'm so confused. I ordered oregano oil I got sent peppermint And totally different company ?! Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

Dear Angela, It is really a matter of preference. The most popular flavors are Peppermint, Original and Vanilla. Thank you for your inquiry. Best Regards, Bulk Apothecary

Dear "L", I do not know the percentage of coffee to the sweet cream added to the pumpkin spice, the base coffee is 100% Arabica coffee. How that rates as medium or strong or dark roast I have no idea, however there is a phone #for more information at Green Mountain Coffee 1-888-879-4627, or you can continue on-line @ GreenMountainCoffee.comLuck to you and let me know what you find out in your comparisons...I've already finished off the cocoa so I don't have the box to gain any information for you there. Sincerely, B Seawright

These "All Natural Peppermint Cocoa Stirrers" can be found at hammondscandies.com. My husband and I get them during the holidays for a fun, festive twist to our morning coffee. If you like peppermint you might find these addictive. We put a touch of half 'n half in each mug, add coffee and then pop in a stirrer. They dissolve quickly and make the coffee plenty sweet and very minty. You can contact Hammonds online and ask them if, when they call it "all natural", they mean it!

It is milder and more pleasant. Almost like a chocolate peppermint paddy. I have wondered if you could get the same effect by combining chocolate and peppermint (wouldn't be green, though)

BTW I disagree with previous comment. This is one of the best flavored and mild K-Cup coffee I've experienced and I've tried them all.

I am not sure if it is exactly the same. It does taste very good as I have tried others. Starbucks puts other things in to sweeten the mix , ie carmel etc. This does has added sugar so be aware of that. I just ordered some more. I would recommend it. I use whip cream on mine and I do not add anything else such as sugar or creamer. Mixed in almond milk/ ice as a frap is also really good.
