Flavor EssenceCUSTOM 5 PACK CASE -UNSWEETENED NATURAL FLAVORS ~Any Combination of Flavors You Want.

I have had these for a few months and wanted to give my review for others who might be hesitant to purchase.I purchased the Caramel Creme 'Brûlée, Mint Chocolate, Bananas Foster, Vanilla Cream, and Coconut. The seller is wonderful, responsive and professional. The package shipped much quicker than was estimated and came in a lovely box with instructions on how to mix flavors to get even more use out of the product. These flavorings are a great value and I would buy them again.I drink decaf coffee and apparently retailers think that decaf coffee drinkers only drink plain coffee, Vanilla coffee or Hazelnut coffee....we don't. Which is why these flavors are GREAT for an every day cup of coffee and for making your own "dessert" coffee, plus, you get to control the ingredients, and why I purchased these. I don't want a bunch of sugar in my drink and I don't want Stevia, Xylitol or Erythritol as they make me sick. I want to use Splenda and sometimes no sweetener at all. Sometimes I feel like fat free milk, sometimes I want heavy cream. These flavors work with all different ingredients and you have to love that kind of versatility!The Caramel is nice. It's not too strong and I actually use 15 drops for my 12 ounce cup, sometimes I add a tablespoon of Sugar Free Smuckers Caramel topping and either heavy cream or whole milk. Bananas Foster tastes straight up like you are drinking banana bread! It is very good!, I use either non dairy creamer or heavy cream or whole milk in it. The Mint Chocolate is nice! I add about 10 drops of the flavoring, a teaspoon or two of unsweetened cocoa and whole milk. The Coconut I use about 10 drops of flavoring and whole milk. You could use Coconut Milk or Coconut Cream (from the can) as well. I did not like the Vanilla as much as I do the other flavors. It had a bit of an alcohol after taste. I actually use imitation vanilla in all of my cooking because I don't like the alcohol aftertaste some flavorings had. It's not a bad taste at all either, it just wasn't my preferred medium, so I will use it for something else, no big deal.For those who complain that the flavoring is not strong enough, I think they may be used to flavored coffees you can buy at fast food restaurants and coffee bars. Those establishments use a TON of other ingredients to flavor up your drink to make it way more palatable/addicting? than most of us are used to. Those ingredients are mostly, fats and sugars. Look at the calorie content and you'll understand. The more sugar and fat, the more tasty it is. I will also say that I have purchased the Sugar Free Hazelnut Toriani syrup that says to use "Just a splash" to flavor your drink. Well a "splash" is actually two tablespoons. Compare that to the drops needed to flavor and you'll see that that is a big difference and that these drops are a good value.When I just want a quick flavored coffee, I use the drops, about 10-15 each because I'm using a 12 ounce cup. When I want a coffee bar drink, I add the other ingredients as I mentioned above. Plus you can just bring the little bottle with you or leave it in your desk at work for that afternoon cup.I have not used these flavoring to add to water so I do not have a review for water.Thank you for providing these flavor drops, I really appreciate them!

Holy shamoley, these are amazing. We had been searching high and low for some flavoring to add to our Soda Stream, without adding any sugar. And there were, like, NONE. Literally. Then I found Mick and his little flavor essence drops and the clouds parted and the angels sung. We now have ten bottles, and will absolutely be buying more. They are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way, and they are essentially calorie free (there's like 2 calories per 25 drops, but you'll be using just a handful of drops per serving/use).You can tell that Mick cares about his products as he has included a helpful book of instructions that he hand wrote on.I have even been happily surprised by flavors that my partner picked that I thought I wouldn't like. For example, Custard Creme (a MUST) will make any fruit flavor into a "creamsicle" version (Black Cherry and Tangerine are my favorite to blend with Custard Creme). BUT, on its own, Custard Creme will turn plain, sparkling water into a CREAM SODA. A Cream Soda with NO sugar/sugar substitutes!!! Not even a "kinda cream soda", but straight up, this tastes exactly like Cream Soda. My partner also likes to add flavors to his coffee, like Coconut and Toasted Almond.We bought them for our Soda Stream, but also use in coffee and cocktails. I'm sure they'd be great to use in marinades or dressings as well. I cannot speak highly enough about these drops. And if you have a Soda Stream, but want the option for added flavor, this is absolutely the way to go.

I was spending a fortune buying Hint and hated the amount of plastic in my recycling because of it. NO MORE! I am now able to create my own flavor combinations and was able to create my favorite on the first try. I was apprehensive about the cost but it only takes a few drops to make my 32 oz reusable bottle. The flavors are really good but you do have play with them based on your taste. I have not experienced any negative aftertaste at all. This is saving me a lot of money, I am drinking more water and no more plastic bottles! I don’t know how this works with the seltzer machines. I am using flat filtered water.I will be ordering more flavors to expand on flavor combinations. So glad I found this product.

I have only tried the Key Lime so far, and it is so tasty! I make my own diet soda using fizzy water, sucralose drops and a little bit of citric acid. I tried the Bubly flavors but they all just tasted kind of "off". The Flavor Essence flavors are just that - a very clean essence of the flavor that you can adjust the amount you add to your liking. The dropper bottles make it super easy to add exactly as much as you like. I can't wait to buy more flavors to try! Bonus that this is a small business - I got a lovely personalized note from them when my ordered was a bit delayed.

These flavor essence are perfect. I get headaches from artificial sweeteners and was looking for something to enhance my water. I got the 5 bottle custom pack. I was amazed at all the little "extras" that came with it, this company truly cares. Now no more waste with throw away essence flavored water bottles. Again I'm so, so happy to have found you!

The presentation is wonderful and the recipe cards are very thoughtful, but I am not a fan of the flavors for sparkle water. I was trying to replicate la croix but most of the flavors ended up tasting very synthetic. I didn’t like the tangerine, or French vanilla cream; but kind of like the blueberry, strawberry and peach. I tried using both sparingly (1-3 drops) and up to a 1/4 tsp per 12 Oz sparkle water. I also tried the suggestions of adding sugar or citric acid to enhance the flavors but they still tasted synthetic to me.
