Capella's Flavor Drops are Expensive

[sophie_lapin]

I can get other brands cheaper, so I would like to switch and save $$$ if there are other brands that do the same flavors but better from the following Capella favorites:

• Vanilla Custard
• Cinnamon Danish Swirl
• Cappuccino
• Coconut
• French Toast

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

I have a few of these but haven't tried them yet... FA Cappucino/Tiramisu are pretty much mix and go decent flavors. FA coconut + cookie and some other stuff make a decent macaroon.

IMO - No one has a better Vanilla Custard than Capellas

I was kind of hoping the the Perfumer's Apprentice's Vanilla Custard would be on par... is that a negatory ghostrider?

Thanks! It is hard for me to find all the reviews because everyone spells Cappuccino differently!

* Vanilla Custard
* Cinnamon Danish Swirl
* French Toast
These are the best out of everyone's I've tried, well worth the money imho. ( The Vanilla Custard is the best and one of the most fantastic mixers to add to and boost other flavors)

$6 for 13ml is a bit pricey but capellas is really concentrated so you don't need much.

Agree with the above, but I would add coconut from Capella's as another best of any out there too.

If it helps, I get the Danish Swirl in large bottles to reduce the $/ml. It is part of my oldest son's favorite mix so I go through more of it than any other Cap. (I like it too)

Great... now I got another flavor to add to my wishlist! Do you have a list of your recipes somewhere? I found the caramel.. I've had a hard time finding a good caramel.. haven't tried FA yet.. just got TPA caramel candy and it has a weird taste. Does adding EM instead of sweetener help? (I feel like I'm posting to Robin Hood!)

If you buy the 13ml bottle of capellas for $5.95 it is .86 per ml.. if you buy the 4oz (120 ml) for $30 it comes out to be .25 per ml

Yes, EM is completely different than sweetener.

And I'm dressed as Little John from Robin Hood Men In Tights. My oldest son was dressed as Robin Hood and my youngest as Will Scarlet O'Hara. (We also had a Blinken, Rabbi Tuckman, Achoo, Latrine, and, of course, Maid Marion for the contest.)

Perfumer's Apprentice makes a version of Vanilla Custard with less diketones, which results in the flavor being less buttery/rich but less risky. PA's Caramel Cappuccino is excellent and extremely strong, thus cost effective, but I haven't tried Capella's Cappuccino for comparison (they are probably quite different).

The Caramel Candy has a strong rum background and a fairly high alcohol content (or so it seems from the viscosity), but I think EM wouldn't really do anything. Can't hurt to try, though.

Best coffee flavors IMO are Decadent Vapors - Cafe Brasiliano and Doppio Espresso
