i think the reason the ingredients don't say "caramel" anything is because caramel is made from sugar so they probably toasted the sugar or something.
Duh why didn’t I think of that lol thanks!
Smart lady! I was just about to post that!
Natural flavors are also not natural what so ever so don’t get confused by the silly ingredient list
I just placed my first order with Monin yesterday! I set up my new Nespresso on Saturday and I’ve been binge watching your coffee videos hehe
How exciting! What flavors did you get 👀
@@_Alexmojica I got Raspberry, French Vanilla, Lavender, and Strawberry Rose! My fave drink from my local coffee shop was a lavender cold brew and I watched them make it a million times and it’s 3 pumps Monin lavender and 1 vanilla so I knew I wanted to try that combo first haha. I’m iffy about rose syrups, it’s exactly how you said it in the video. It tastes like it smells lol. Hopefully the strawberry makes it more interesting
@@hellovanillasnow that raspberry sounds delicious, will you be putting it in your coffee too?
@@_Alexmojica Yes! When I was in my early 20s my go-to drink at Starbucks was an iced caramel macchiato but substituted vanilla syrup with raspberry. It was so good and pretty because it was pink hehe. Then Starbucks changed their raspberry syrup and it never tasted the same and it wasn’t pink anymore 😔
Omg that sounds yummy 🤤 I want to try it now
Hey Alex, love watching your coffee videos! I’m a former barista, & you can also add half regular vanilla and half hazelnut to make French vanilla. I like this recipe because you can really taste the nuttiness from the hazelnut 😋
Thanks for letting me know that’s super cool to know that!
@@_Alexmojica of course!
Went to Ross to stock up on syrups and came home with Vanilla and Hazelnut by Jordan's Skinny Syrups. Thanks for the tip👍🏾👍🏾
2 years late but I'm glad I saw this video. I'm ready to choose my syrup now. Lol! Btw, it's NOT odd that caramel is not listed in the ingredients of the caramel syrup because caramel is basically just sugar.
Yeah like slightly melted 'carmalized' sugar
Omg, I was obsessed with rose flavored anything for a while and when I found this syrup, I actually really enjoyed it!!! But not in coffee.... I didn't even try it in coffee because I didn't think the dainty, floral flavor of roses would pair with the strong, dark flavor of coffee.... but it is DELICIOUS in lemonade!!!! Make some fresh squeezed lemonade and omit the granulated sugar... use this syrup as the sweetener and it's such a great summer drink!!! LOVE!!! I'm sure the lavender would be amazing in lemonade too!!!
Thanks!
Please keep making coffee content! It’s amazing - feel like I can watch you for hours! Also please more coffee accessoriy videos because I’m obsessed with your aesthetics!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you!
I used to work at a coffee shop and we only used Monin. So good!
Nice! They have some great flavors 😋
For anyone with Smart and Final near by, I found all the torani syrups there for 6.99 or 6 for 24.95
I just went today and found sooo many flavors. Omg thank you for posting this!!
@@Araceli8488 yay I’m glad
I got the sugar free caramel syrup from Monin and it's actually pretty good. I normally hate sugar free stuff too especially the disgusting Jordans Skinny Syrups! lol. In my iced latte I put in a half tbsp of pistachio and a tbsp of caramel. It gives the flavor of pistachio but saves me some calories lol.
Good idea!
Peppermint with white mocha is so delicious!! My favorite drink during the holidays!
Nice! Will have to try that one for the holidays!
Thanks for sharing! I agree adding vanilla syrup boosts the flavor of any coffee! It makes the coffee have more bakery notes to it! I agree with the Jordan’s syrup comments. I’m sugar free and I feel that the Jordan’s is just sweet but doesn’t have much flavor! I prefer Torani or Da’vinci sugar free syrups!
Wow. I could go broke buying syrups! I wish you would put out a recipe book for all of your coffees. It’s all very confusing. I’m just getting a coffee bar set up.
Also, something I love to do is mix a Premier Protein (flavored) shake into my espresso. ( iced). It makes for a great midday coffee fix + midday snack. Very filling and yummy. My personal favorite is the Chocolate Peanut Butter one... dessert in a coffee 🤗🤗
That sounds yummy I heard others do that too, I’m sure it’s pretty filling and satisfying
I am so glad your channel was in my suggestions. I absolutely LOVE your channel. I bought a Nespresso machine because I was watching everyone's quarantine videos and everyone became batista's. I love Torani but now I do the skinny mixes because I'm trying to weight, but I really don't like the sugar free stuff. Caramel is my all time favorite syrup and then I like vanilla, anything cinnamon and then white chocolate. I prefer iced over hot drinks. But I just want to thank you for taking time and sharing content. I really enjoy your channel.
Hi! It sounds like we have similar preferences in taste! Thank you for your kind words 🥰
The Torani Rose syrup tastes amazing with homemade lemonade, same for lavender syrup. A must try for those hot summer days.
Yumm I’ll have to try
Lavender with fresh squeezed lemon and vodka make an amazing martini as well!!
I was also thinking vodka with lavender or rose would be good 😊
Smart and final.has a great selection of Torani.
Monin rose is nice, half a spoon, spoon with vanilla, in an iced latte. It’s a very popular spring drink in our cafe.
I’m just not a fan 😬
@@_Alexmojica It's not for everyone that's for sure. Oddly, the most polarizing flavor we have is Coconut, some people love it, others get nauseous from it.
Not sure if someone said this already but torani has "pure made" versions of a lot of their flavors that doesn't have preservatives. When you compared, if you had the pure made torani it would have matched the monin ingredients
Good to know!
I love praline lattes! Definitely going to check out the butter pecan syrup you mentioned. One of my go-to flavor combos lately has been toasted marshmallow with dark chocolate (both from Monin). I call it the s'mores latte! I also love the macadamia nut syrup from Monin. It's good on its own or paired with vanilla.
I’ve heard that macadamia is good! I need to try that one! That s’mores latte sounds delicious
Try the rose in your lemonade, I think you may like it. Just reduce the amount of sugar by a quarter cup and add the 2 tbsps of the rose.
Thanks I’ll have to try that 😋
Smart & Final also has tons of flavors!!
I just found you yesterday and am so glad I did! It's not a syrup, but my favorite combo is Hazelino with Coconut Creme creamer by Coffee Mate.
Uuuu yumm!
Thank you kindly for being so informative in your videos! You helped me decide which Nespresso machine to purchase as well as which coffees & syrups to go with! Infinite blessings! 🙏🏼❤️
I don’t love sugar free either but I’m doing keto for weight loss and I can’t have all the sugar and carbs....ugh I want all those syrups!
😭
Great video, definitely agree that Chiaro pairs well with a bunch of flavors
Yes it’s such a great pod
Hi! TJ Maxx coffee syrup torani are in front of the store. I love making my own frappuccino and shakes.
you should try the diavolitto pod with one pump monin toffee nut and one pump cinnamon bun with oat milk!! so delicious 🥰
That sounds really delicious and something I would enjoy!
Sounds good...will try @bianca b
does Monin’s toffee nut syrup taste like the Starbucks one??
@@AlysonGagne im curious too!! Lol just finding this rn
I love rose and lavender from 1883. But for rose, I only drink it ice with bubbly water and rose syrup. Like an italian soda without the cream.
Nice!
I agree with you about sugar free syrups. The ONLY torani SF syrup that tastes amazing is their hazelnut & French vanilla. All the others are so bitter 😭
I accidentally picked up the sugar free French vanilla.. & I was thinking like why does everyone say sugar free is gross. It tastes fine to me lol
Actually i read that sugar free is not actually sugar free. Ughhh whatever😂 starting your morning without a Good Coffee is🤕.
You are amazing you know I have been watching a little UA-cam videos trying to decide which ones to invest in the glass bottles can be quite pricey if you're trying to buy quite a nice haul of them that you helped me tremendously thank you
I just purchased my first Nespresso and this video was soooooooooooo helpful. Thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful for you!
Yah for Lakanto!!! They do have vanilla and caramel syrups!!! I have to admit the Rose is intriguing me!!
I absolutely love Monin pistachio! It is my morning must with Oatly creamer over iced leggero. I also bought a rose syrup but from Monin and it’s not my favorite. ☺️
Yeah I didn’t like the rose 😭
What does the pistachio taste like in coffee? I’ve never heard of this one before.
Just made a big torani purchase and can’t wait to try so many flavors! Really excited to try the creme de cacao flavor!! (and your recipes)
Aww yay! Have fun 🤩
Do they have to be refrigerated after opening?
Love all your recommendations!! I’m going to pick up French Vanilla from Monin. I recently bought la cumplida and added the creme de cacao! Sooooo good!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
"Monk fruit” sweetener! I use that in my coffee so I don't have to feel guilty. It's the only fake sugar that does leave a taste in my coffee. Tried it with sweet tea but I didn't like it. Been using for past year.
I mix the sugar free syrups with regular syrups. For example, I will make a Bianco leggero over ice. I do love oatly, so ill put 1/2 tbsp regular vanilla syrup and 1 tbsp of sugar free vanilla. I think its tastes so much better when you froth the syrups and milk together. It is sooo yummy! definitey my go to drink!!!
Great idea!
I love Starbucks blonde espresso roast pods with the ventro line and I do 3 shots hazelnut and 3 shots French vanilla love it 😍
But I definitely need new recommendations
I work for CFA and we also use Monin for the syrups in our iced coffees
How do they make the vanilla iced coffee that’s my favorite!
Try the lavender and rose with green tea (iced) so good. Hopefully you like it. Let me know.
Thank you!
Ooh do you have the recipe for the cupcake birthday cake coffee?? Thank you
I know you specialize in coffee but if you have any tea lovers try rose flavor in hibiscus tea! It's delicious and so good for you!😋
Thank you!
You are worth to subscribe. Wow so many Infos. Uses for the Rosesyrup is one with Milk and Ice. The next recipe would be Rosesyrup, Lemon Juice, Chilled Water or Soda, Mint leaves and Ice cubes.
I can't stand sugar free syrups either. I love my coffee sweet, but I also have been cutting down a lot. You have to try Lakanto monk fruit sweetener. I made my own syrup using it. I swear NO weird after taste. I promise! I've tried sooooo many things. The cheapest place I have found it is Big Lots. Thank you for your knowledge so much!
Yeah, when i was on keto, i made sugar-free maple syrup from lakanto but really any monk fruit/erythritol works great, and it worked great. For sugar-free in the US, allulose is a great alternative as it takes exactly like sugar. Erythritol has some menthol aftertaste in larger quantities.
Omg !! Now I gotta go shopping for more syrups!! I just never know what to combine them with. You’re such a help. I get mine at Smart and Final. They have a huge assortment. I’m in Vegas.♥️
I’ve heard of that store but we don’t have them in Illinois. Do they have all the flavors?
@@_Alexmojica They have a lot of choices.👍
White chocolate lavender is a winning combination too! 😊
Such a helpful video. I wanted to start getting into syrups but wasn't sure if I would like it. Gonna try Monin french vanilla, it's been sitting in my cart for like 2 weeks 😩
I think you’ll enjoy it, either way let me know your thoughts after tasting!
I dont like sugar free either but i will use carmel sugar free in my plain coke sometimes. My regular carmel wasnt good in it so i got a small bottle. I too love the same two brands u used. You are why i want cream de cocoa and slices brown sugar torani lavender sold out on me and i missed out on monin butterfly flower.
Oh wow I’ve never thought to mix that with coke. Hope you get to try those flavors they are great!
I haven’t tried the lavender and rose ones for torani but I love the MONIN ones
Yeeeass love how indepth you share in your videos! Love your videos but now that I finally got a nespresso, I appreciate your videos so so much more. So thankful that I think we have similar tastes lol. Thank you for your videos!! No pressure or anything 😂
Thank you so much! 😃
I’ve never had Lavender In my coffee before, but I have had it in a London Fog ( which is really yummy), so maybe I could try doing a London Fog with coffee instead???? 🤔
😄 you may be on to something! Sounds delish!
Is the spice in the spiced brown sugar more like “red hoys” or just cinnamon? Does that make since? I love cinnamon but do bot like red hots.
I’d say just cinnamon 😋
I have to agree with you on the chocolate chip cookie dough it doesn't taste like it. I taste chocolate not the cookie dough part but its still good
Yeah it’s missing something 🤔
Hi!! Love your videos! Have you tried Monin crème caramel or Monin toffee nut? Thoughts, if you’ve tried them?
Hi Alex:
I currently have the Pistachio by Monin & to my surprise It’s one of my many favorites ( next to Peppermint also by Monin.) I would love to try Torani’s & see which one I prefer. I tried one of. Mason Malli Pistachio iced latte with the pistachio pieces o the rim of the glass, absolutely in love. That is a treat for me. I never thought about or knew about bitter bottles until I saw your video on favorite things. Well I purchased these but in a 6 bottle set different designs. I love these bottles. The only negative I see with these bottles is that it’s difficult to clean these because of the narrow opening. I don’t have a lot of counter space & these fit the bill. Also I am not a fan of Irish Cream & not sure if I will purchase again. If you’re into sauces I do recommend Ghiridalli ( not sure if spelling is correct) sea salt caramel. I paired this with the Pistachio Latte sooo good. I just wanted to step out of my comfort zone a little with this one. I truly enjoyed it. I even tasted the Sea Salted Caramel on a baby spoon before I adding it to my iced coffee. I definitely was in love. I will buy this again. This was a 4 bottle set from Amazon that came with a measuring/sauce spoon.
Thank you! I’ll have to look into that brand for caramel it sound delish!
I kno and this was a long long time ago but I just got my nespresso and into buying some syrups and sauces today and my ghirardelli sea salt caramel sauce says to not refrigerate and not use at all after 3 weeks. How does one drink 16 oz in 3 weeks? What does everyone do? Is there any tips or tricks to making it last longer? Or do you all just throw it out and rebuy every 3 weeks? The company says it crystallizes and won't work if refrigerated.
I’ve never had an issue with my sauces from Monin or Torani. Personally never tried Ghirardelli’s
Love this video. Thank you! Just got Strawberry Rose and Lavender. I’ve never tried florals so this will be a new venture!
Strawberry sounds nice!
How is it?
I love the rose syrup! Where I’m from, rose is a common flavor used in drinks and in food. However I can’t stand lavender it tastes like soap to me lol
I think maybe a rose milk tea is better than with coffee
Thanks!
Hoping the Torani Hazelnut is good for blavk cold iced coffee. The rose syrup and peppermint syrup i guess Good for dark chocolate drinks.
I need to make an updated syrups video, 1883 roaste hazelnut is definitely one to try you might like it.
I am so happy to see your great syrup reviews! And thrilled that you included mentioning Lakanto sugar free syrups! I have been using Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener for a year in baking and it has no aftertaste. Really! I did not know they make syrups too! Yay...I am going to order a couple now in addition to some of the Monin and Torani! Thank you so much! Cannot wait to try these combos.
Awww yay! Have fun with them!
Thank you so much for the video, I'm always afraid of buying a syrup that I don't like and ruin my coffee.
If I purchase the small bottles of Monin (coffee collection pack) how long do they last ? Do you recommend buying the small pack ?
That one is great to sample some but you might get maybe four uses out of each bottle. Depends how much you use there is only 1.69oz in each
do you ever use/add caramel sauce? also my daughter loves iced mocha (dunkin) do you think adding chocolate sauce or syrup would be best? also LOVE all your videos!
Yes I use caramel sauces from time to time. I think chocolate syrups and sauces will be good. I personally like Toranis Creme de cacao for chocolatey syrup
Yes Monin french vanilla is better than Torani’s. 😍 Do you think The Torani hazelnut tastes similar to Starbucks’ hazelnut syrup? I want to try it but I hate Monin hazelnut because it tastes too strong and has a metal aftertaste to me 😅
You might like the Torani one. I don’t really like the monin one based on the little bottles I tried
I am new to your channel and Love it !! Thanks for the all the coffee tips and amazon picks they have made my day!
Awww thank you!
I think we like lavender because of the Violets lol. We grew up with that scent and flavor. Maybe try mixing the pralines with cinnamon bun?
Haha maybe! I’ll try that combo next time I use it!
thank you. What do you think of the chocolate sauces and other sauces range from Torani?
I am not a fan of sugar free syrups either. Glad to know I'm not alone lol. Do you have the Chocolate Fudge pod? If so, could you do a recipe vid? I'm not a fan of it yet and I ordered 3 sleeves lol.
I’ll jot that video suggestion down! I have yet to try it myself
Newbie here so don’t mind my silly questions! Do you put the syrup in with your milk in the aerochino? Or do you put it in your coffee and froth your milk separately? Or does it not matter haha! Also, what’s the pros of using syrups over just a flavored creamer? Thanks! Love your content!
Hi! I prefer to put syrups in coffee n froth milk alone because I feel like overtime it will affect aeroccino, Nespresso recommends against it too,I’ve done it a few times in frother n don’t see a big difference so I rarely do it. Creamers don’t always have a variety of flavors like syrups do and some creamers have ingredients that some want to avoid so syrup n milk would be better in that case. All comes down to personal preference
@@_Alexmojica thanks so much for your quick reply! This is super helpful. I just got the monim autumn sample pack and plain oat milk, can’t wait to give it a try tomorrow! I had been using creamer so I’m excited to explore the syrup and oat milk world haha.
Yay enjoy!
Where do you pick up all your flavors? Online or at a store??
Online
Could you make a video on the ferrero rocher latte!? 😍✨
I can! Will do!
Another great video. I love monin syrup, I found little better than torani. Monin coconut is amazing taste like real coconut.
I haven’t had coconut in my coffee in a long time, I don’t remember liking the taste but maybe it’s time to try it again 🤔
Where do you find the glass bottles?
Do Tofranil have to be refrigerated after opening?
No they don’t
Could you review the Davinci brand of syrups?
i love your videos and I just got my first Nespresso machine and I am building my coffee bar ☺️
Thank you! I’ll look into them! Congrats on your new machine so exciting!
I’m not big into flavors/syrups in my coffee ( I did break down and try a vanilla and it was surprisingly good), but my daughter loves white chocolate lattes and I bought her the Davinci one and she says it’s “soooo good”… if that helps lol
have you tasted the creme caramel or the caramel apple butter syrups from monin? Just saw them on monin website and sounds yummy!
I haven’t but I hear Creme caramel is amazing!
@@_Alexmojica okay thanks! I think i'll give it a try then, it sounds good
2:38 the reason that caramel isn’t in the ingredients is because caramel is just melted sugar lol
I’m currently keto & I like my coffee SWEEEEEET and full of caramel flavour. What is everyone’s #1 SF syrup?? I’m desperate for a SF caramel latte 😭
Have you tried any toffee syrups? I’m torn if I should try Toranis English Toffee or Monin Toffee Nut! 😋
Not yet but I bet they are delish!
It's a pity that I can't get apple butter caramel syrup from monin here in my country.
Can you use the syrups to flavour milk or water if you don't really like coffee that much?
Yes
Wow, this video is 2yrs old! I thought it was new.... I just found your channel the other day because I was looking up reviews on the Starbucks apple shaken espresso drink which I wanted to make from home. I wonder, if you remade this video, where the Monin apple syrup would fit in? I just purchased it and received in the mail other day but haven't used it yet. I'm concerned abut the pump... I wonder if the plastic pump I ordered for it will attract fruit flies? One UA-camr just mentioned yesterday that she bought some glass syrup bottles from amazon because her bottles attracted fruit flies and ruined the syrup! Has this happened to you?
How much of hazelnut syrup should be used in a 250-300ml cup? I used some today and it tasted butter and alcoholic flavour :/ is it normal or I’m missing something?
Caramel isn't an ingredient in caramel. Its the result of cooking sugar a specific way, typically slow with butter.
Yup I realized what I said after I said 😅 you live you learn
Thank you 🙏 for sharing I’m new on your channel ♥️♥️
You’re welcome!
Hey Alex! Could you share whether you will choose Monin dark chocolate syrup or Monin dark chocolate sauce? I am trying to create a mocha latte for myself but I dont know which one to choose
I was such a newbie to the coffee game that for Ice Mocha Latte, I used to use Hershey mocha sauce or sth like that, and it tasted so bad for me
It’s personal preference I would actually melt a Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate bark in mine. I have a recipes video where I do four recipes and one of them was a mocha. Other than that I might just go with the sauce if the bark is t available
Hi I was wondering what the syrup pumps are called, not the typical one but the nozzle kind. Thanks
Those pour spouts are linked on my Amazon storefront I don’t know the technical term for them but if you want to check them out they are under my coffee stuff folder. Link in description
I recently subscribed and I’ve been binging your videos!
I will have to review them for sure but I do use them and like them. I keep reordering half Caff
Oh my gosh, where did you get those tips for the syrups?!
In the description!
I bought the Jordan Skinny girl Caramel syrup because I saw it at my local Home Goods, and yuck! It leaves a weird after taste.
Yeah I don’t like those either
which lavender syrup is your favorite?
I’ve only tried Torani and I like it ☺️
try the rose one with lemonade or mojito😋
Thanks!
Just order some monin syrups lavender caramel and pumpkin spice
Aww yay! Hope you like them!
I know rose and strawberry are good together
If using creamer as well, do you recommend using just a sweet cream and not a creamer that is flavored?
If they are similar flavors I would think it’s fine otherwise maybe half and half or flavorless creamer
@@_Alexmojica thank you!
Damn. Just did a Monin order last week. Is it too early to make a new one? Sounds like I need the Spiced Brown Sugar!
If you don’t want to pay for shipping and have prime you might get a better deal there!
where do I store púre coconut syrup? refrigerator or?
Sorry I don’t know that answer
What syrup do you recommend for whiney aroma coffee? Example Columbia Nespresso Original?
Chocolate based ones go well with it
What brand and flavor of syrups do you have in your little glass jars?
Torani pumpkin spice monín French vanilla and monin salted caramel
Thank you!
The monin hazelnut is delicious in coffee
I personally prefer their French hazelnut
Try Monin roasted hazelnut.... So much better than regular
Thanks!
I agree with this
Thanks for all the information I like my syrups sugar free
You’re welcome! Maybe you’ll like Lakanto!
