I sprinkle pumpkin pie spice over coffee before brewing! Can use any flavoring you like! Always shake the grounds to get spice down into the grounds! Cinnamon, do the same! If I want Hazelnut, I will buy a small can of flavored coffee & mix with regular coffee grounds, shake & it's great!

Extracts are fine to use, but it may take a bit more of them. Add them at the end of the process and they will not cook out. You can also use a whole vanilla bean, split and put it in at the beginning for a fabulous flavor.

Hmmm, ok, I like this idea. Question though? What about like an extract? I wonder if that would work too? Like a hazelnut one or something?
Make your own coffee flavoring syrups at home in any flavor you want (within reason - bacon flavor might not be a good choice in your coffee).
Put water and sugar in a kettle. Heat to boiling over medium high heat on your range top. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes (this washes sugar crystals off of the side of the pan and will cut down on crystallization). Stir in your flavoring, a teaspoon at first and add a little more at a time until it is as strong as you desire. Cool and put in a cute bottle or even vinegar carafe. Use this in your coffee to give it that coffee house flavoring. Yum.
It would be a good idea to store this in the refrigerator if you are not going to consume it all in one day - which you might, because it is so easy to make and so good that you will want to call all of your friends together to sample your genius cooking skills.
Sometimes I have to add up to a tablespoon of flavoring, depending on its strength. For super concentrated flavorings like Lorann, use only 1/8 teaspoon or a few drops at a time and taste after each addition.
*Vanilla and caramel flavoring are nice together. Rum and butter flavoring would be good too. So would almond and chocolate. Cinnamon and vanilla, raspberry and chocolate. Use what you have and get creative.

Instead of buying expensive flavored coffees, we buy basic coffee and sprinkle cinnamon on top of the ground coffee before turning on the machine.
