I've tried this and the Chocolate Peanut Butter. The Chocolate Peanut butter is too sweet for me, but it's tasty. A friend gave me a couple of packets of each flavor. I made each using skim milk (it's what I had), using a decent ice-crushing blender (Oster, with 6 blades).
This one has the same great flavor of a Starbucks Frappuccino, maybe even a little bolder and sweeter; but you don't get that layer of flavorless ice on top when you're half way done. It was more like a milkshake, all the way down! And after drinking one, you can definitely tell there's some caffeine as well. I like the Espresso flavor so much that I subscribed to the 25 packs at 6 month intervals, so I can keep this as a Saturday morning habit.
You could probably also use vodka for the liquid, and make a very tasty "Espresso Martini" flavored frozen drink!
Note that the nutritional information is for one serving. Each packet makes two servings.

Torani Original Mocha Sauce, White Chocolate, 16.5-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6) Review

Torani Original Mocha Sauce, White Chocolate, 16.5-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Torani's White Chocolate Mocha Sauce is an absolute acceptable substitute to StarBucks! And if you think not than you're just too picky and you should go there and pay the price for the real thing! I mean seriously what more could you ask for? By signing up for subscribe & save thru Amazon it drops the price down to $19.12 with free shipping and you pick when you want your next shipment to be, up to 6 months out, plus if you put in the promotional coupon code UNILEV51 you get another 15% off bringing your total to only $14.62 for a case of 6 average ketchup size bottles 16.5oz! Which breaks down to be $2.44 per bottle. You can go into your account and skip an order or get one sooner or even cancel anytime you want. Once you open a bottle you put it in the refrigerator, they're not gigantic size like the 64oz ones which may expire before you have a chance to use it up. The quaility of the product itself far exceeds it's price. Rich flavor and thick texture, a little goes along way, even for those who like there's extra sweet like me! I drink my latte's with quadropple shots and use more syrup to level out the bitterness while keeping the strongness. My coffe mug is large and I make at least one if not two drinks per day, with that being said for a reference it still takes me at least a week to use one bottle. I do buy the StarBucks beans, the Italian roast instead of the Expresso it's a stronger bean so I don't have to use as much. What I use to pay $7.88 for(6 shot, venti, white mocha)I now pay approximately $0.86! My savings in the first month alone paid for a cappichino-expresso-steamer-coffee maker macchine and I didn't buy a cheap one either. Of course it's not exactly StarBucks, but once you've played around and experimented to get it the way you like it the difference is minor enough for the sacrifice and the HUGE savings! What I use to spend per year at Starbucks will now easily cover the cost of my utility bills: gas, electric and my cell phone! So exactly how picky do you really want to be?

I recently had a thyroidectomy and have been struggling with chronic fatigue. Coffee (which I love) just hasn't been able to wake me up in the mornings like it used to. It takes 4-5 cups to get the cob webs out of my head. 2 cups of this tea and I feel like a whole person again. It is remarkable. I drink it with some splenda and find it very tasty. The energy boost is very smooth, it is hard to describe, I feel very awake but not caffeine "gittery charged".

Organic chicory and ramon nut do the cocoa mocha mambo. Naturally caffeinated. Energy - Want some? What puts the zip in Mate? Mateine: a wholly different kind of boost than caffeine. While caffeine makes you want to hurt the cat, mateine's energy is pleasant, controlled and non-addictive. Traditionally, Mate has been used to enhance sleep and calm nerves while gently arousing a depressed nervous system. The people of the rain forest believe it burns calories, boosts metabolism, and can keep blood pressure in a more blissful state. Most people feel more alert, more at ease and more capable of conquering the world. So when you win a genius grant, all we ask is that you remember us in you acceptance speech. Two health-conscious amigos in Boulder discovered the newest old beverage and launched the sacred sip that gives the buzz of coffee a blush of shame. They mingled the mystery of mate with the juice of cheeky and a squeeze of sass, and called it Pixie Mate. It will float your soul on the wings of a softer buzz and beat the bushes for body-happy antioxidants. Free radicals are trouble makers. These unstable molecules enter your body just looking for a fight. They wreak havoc on cells and have been implicated in all kinds of crimes against you health like arthritis, premature aging, cataracts--even heart disease and cancers. The Bad Guy--Free Radicals vs Antioxidants--The Good Guys. Antioxidants are the sheriff whose job is to keep those delinquent free radicals on the run. But the sheriff needs your help. Once you're of voting age, your body slacks off of producing enough antioxidants to keep all the outlaws at bay. Luckily mate is one of the best sources of antioxidants you can find anywhere. So grab a cup and support your local sheriff. Antioxidants per serving: Broccoli (400-800); Tomato Juice (550-900); Orange Juice (650-1100); Authentic Mate (3760). As measured by Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (ORAC). Pixie Mate is not meant to be a substitute for fruits and vegetables, which are an important part of your diet. What is Mate and why the buzz? Mate is the gentle hum of an awakened mind and a vibrant body. It is energy that's balanced, no frantic. The people of the South American rain forest discovered the magic before we did. From their treasured green leaves emerged the tea that sings the body electric. With a llama-load of antioxidants, mate trickles grinning into your system. It won't leave you drooping or demand addiction. USDA Organic. Pixie Mate is third-party certified organic by QAI. Drink deep. Your safe here. Pixie Mate--Take flight.

Pacific Natural Foods Soy Blenders, Plain, 32-Ounce Containers (Pack of 12) Review

Pacific Natural Foods Soy Blenders, Plain, 32-Ounce Containers (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Great Product! We started experimenting with soy milk due to allergy concerns/sinus congestion with regular organic milk. We wanted to see if we were less congested with soy milk. The consensus is that it does seem to help a bit, so we wanted to stay with it. BUT---> it destroyed our morning lattes, UNTIL we found soy blenders. It's a staple in our home,now.
We use a Superautomatic Espresso machine for daily coffee/lattes (Saeco Talea Touch) and anyone who's ever tried steaming soy milk knows it doesn't steam correctly for lattes. Traditional soy milk is too runny to whip up and produce a lovely microfoam. These soy blenders were designed to steam and produce microfoam for your latte!
Do know though, that it *seems* like traditional soy milk until you steam it, that's when the magic happens. I do find that occassionally it produces too thick a microfoam, but I simply remove that from the top of my steaming pitcher and use the lovely silky foam that's underneath the surface of the denser bubbles!
Overall, if you're making lattes, there is NO other alternative if you use soy milk! Trouble is, it goes out of stock on Amazon too quickly, I'd like to see them stock it more reliably. When it's in, I stock up, and since you can store it on the shelf in the pantry without refrigeration, (another plus!) it's no problem to stockpile some so you don't need to order too frequently!
Highly recommended!!

Torani Syrup, Vanilla Bean, 25.4-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3) Review

Torani Syrup, Vanilla Bean, 25.4-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So I have tried all the Torani vanilla syrups and this one tastes the best to me by far. The french vanilla is too sweet and fake tasting, the plain vanilla is fine, but this one imparts a more intense vanilla flavor. I'm a huge fan. My kids mostly love it to flavor their milk, cold or hot. Hey, it doesn't stain like chocolate milk, so that's a plus. Also adds awesome flavor to cocoa. We're not coffee drinkers but I'm sure people use it for that, and I have also tasted ice cream flavored with this that was the best soft serve ice cream of my life. Also delicious made into Italian sodas, using club soda, 2 oz. of syrup, and some half and half. Be forewarned that the three-pack usually comes in plastic bottles, rather than glass. A plus for shipping, maybe not as pretty sitting on a shelf, and less recyclable. Just FYI.

General Foods International, Chai Latte Drink Mix, 9.7-Ounce Tin (Pack of 6)
Well, once again a person with no brains changed the formula!! You will notice that the container looks different, it is tan instead of white. They made it "foamy" and when you taste it - if you are a Chai Latter lover - you will gag at the first sip.
The foam is horrible and the flavor, well they left out some of the spices. It is not the same taste by any means no matter how strong you try to make it.
This item used to be my absolute favorite. I will never purchase it again and do not recommend it to anyone.

I hate to use this word, but this product truly is ORGASMIC. It comes out perfect, cup after cup, having a creamy yet zingy taste. The first time I tried it was at Einstein Bros. Bagels (the use the concentrate themselves to create "their" Chai Tea Latte). When I first tried this, I exclaimed to myself, "WOW!!!!". Any person I have ever served this to was willing to vouch that their tastebuds were in sheer ecstasy.

I love this decaf cappuccino. As others have said, there is no decaf taste (like Gevalia's Signature decaf coffee). It's rich and creamy and keeps me from having a sweet treat in the late afternoon. You can even brew the espresso t-disc twice to get more beverage for your 60 calories without sacrificing flavor! If you're looking for a caffeinated version, Maxwell House's is excellent and I just ordered the Starbucks today.

Mmmmm ... very delicious! I could only find this flavour at Target, which sells it for $3.79 so, if you use this often, Amazon is the way to go. Making it with low-fat milk makes it taste infinitely better than with water. POSTSCRIPT: Oh dear! I just read the ingredients list and this product contains 'Partially Hydrogenated Coconut Oil', which IS trans fat. I have informed Amazon that its Product Features had erroneously listed this as having 'No trans fat'. Well, I suppose I've just enjoyed my last cup ...
