The original taste of coffee is evergreen, but it is nice to switch things up every now and then. In recent times, people have started experimenting with their coffee more and more, usually at home thanks to inflation. Whether it be changing the temperature from what you usually prefer, changing the style and content of consuming, or simply adding a new flavour. You can be so versatile in the way you choose to drink your coffee, and with the help of this list we will be discussing the top ten most popular coffees that people around the world have been enjoying.
1. Caramel:
If you’re someone who loves coffee but doesn’t like the bitterness of it, add a small amount of caramel to your coffee and you’re good to go. It is an added bonus if you have a sweet tooth! Who wouldn’t want the richness of coffee mixed with a spoon of smooth, sugary caramel? I know I would buy that in a hurry. But if you don’t want to take the risk of buying it, just make some coffee at home, caramelise some sugar in a pan and add it to the coffee. There you have it!
2. Vanilla:
I know vanilla ice cream is a household favourite. But have you ever tried a vanilla latte? Or a simple vanilla bean frappe? Trust me, there is a reason why it is here on the list of top ten most popular coffee flavours. Vanilla can be something so versatile; you can add it to cakes, ice creams, and whatnot. But the next time you have coffee, do not forget to add a little bit of vanilla essence or just half a stem of vanilla bean. I am sure you will keep coming back for more.
3. Chocolate:
I have never met anyone who doesn’t like chocolate And why wouldn’t they? Chocolate has been a special part of everyone’s lives at some point in time, whether it be a special occasion or when you just crave something sweet, chocolate has always got you covered. The mixture of chocolate and coffee has become more and more popular ever since Mocha was introduced, and for all the right reasons. Get your hands on a Chocolate chip cold coffee ASAP, I’m sure you will fall in love.
4. Hazelnut:
If you like nutty things, then this flavour is perfect for you. It’s sweet but not too sweet, and has a strong, rich and roasted flavour. Fun fact, Nutella, the commonly loved chocolate spread is also made up of hazelnuts. It is safe to assume that the combination of hazelnuts and coffee will leave a dancing effect on your taste buds and call your name for another sip. It is one of the most popular coffee flavours in the world for a reason.
5. Toffee:
Wish to indulge in something rich, buttery and sweet first thing in the morning? A small addition of toffee in your first coffee of the day will undoubtedly satisfy that craving. Similar to caramel, it has a rich, velvety texture and taste that will keep you wanting more. You can easily buy small cubes of toffee at your nearest general store. Add one or more according to your mood of the day, but don’t forget that the more the merrier.
6. Cinnamon:
Let me paint a picture in your head – you are in the midst of autumn and winter is just around the corner. The festive months are near, and you need a hot drink to celebrate this.

Coconut can be a very hit-or-miss flavour, you either become obsessed with it or just hate it with every fibre in your being. But trust me, coconut paired with coffee is a combination for the gods.
