Reading your posts here, this pretty much clinches a decision here. We're going back to the original recipe for Macchiato. Some of the "non-Lorann's" flavors just aren't measuring up.
When a good majority of people are finding problem with the mix, it's time to do something about it. And the truth is, not sure of people's aversions to Lorann's (mine is business related and not flavor related), but the alternative isn't a better one, taste-wise and that's what it's all about, then it's time to switch back.
Lorikay13, this was a thought I had 4 months ago, even bought 500 grams of pure caffeine, problem was, it's not only hard to mix, and when it does, it makes the liquid even THICKER than it should be (something like Metamucil) and creates a VERY bitter taste as well as a crystalline buildup on the atomizer. I've tested this some time ago. So, no, sorry. No caffeine.
