@@_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
@@_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 😔
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.
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!!!
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!!!!!!
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 😋
Girllllllllllllllll! Thank you for making this video. I want to start making more drinks at home. I just went to starbucks twice in two days & I spend a lot on coffee per year. It's better to just make it at home. I will be buying Monin. I am more used to the Torani.
Monin sells three five-bottle minis sets of popular and seasonal tastes. A freshness plus concept Monin Holiday Cheer Collect (5), Monin Autumn Harvest Collection (5), Monin Coffee Collection (5)- 5 minis each
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.
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!
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! 🙏🏼❤️
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
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 🤗🤗
You are amazing you know I have been watching a little TH-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 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 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.
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.
The difference in the preservatives is important. Those preservatives do many things in the body and the brain. One of many, those preservatives bring on migraines. One reason, I avoid those preservatives like a plague. So, Monin would be the only brand for me. However, follow the expiration dates on the product bottles. Without preservative, the product will eventually grow mold. For this reason, due to cost, don’t go too crazy on variety and quantity, to limit waste. Figure out what you like. And, only repurchase the ones that you are going to use often enough to limit waste. It will last longer refrigerated. If you live in a colder climate, stored in a cool/cold porch or basement may increase its life.
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.
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
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!
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 😂
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’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???? 🤔
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 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 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. ☺️
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
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.♥️
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
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.
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
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
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?
"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.
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 😅
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 😩
@@_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.
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 ?
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 TH-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?
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.
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 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!!!
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.
Your videos: Always summarize at the end. Example of a summary at the end of your video: “ My top 5 flavors of syrups are……”. A few summaries are ALWAYS helpful.
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

Went to Ross to stock up on syrups and came home with Vanilla and Hazelnut by Jordan's Skinny Syrups. Thanks for the tip👍🏾👍🏾
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

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.
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 😋

does Monin’s toffee nut syrup taste like the Starbucks one??

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!
It's a pity that I can't get apple butter caramel syrup from monin here in my country.
what is lavender syrup? and what does it taste like?
Like the lavender plant with sugar.
hi what will you recommend sweetener for iced coffee?
All the ones in this video work for ice coffee as well
@@_Alexmojica wow so if I will make original iced coffee like iced cafe latte , i can use torani vanilla syrup?
Yes you can, just add it to your coffee while brewing so it mixes well
@@_Alexmojica alright! thank you for your quick response!
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
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!
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!
which lavender syrup is your favorite?
I’ve only tried Torani and I like it ☺️
do the monin syrups come with pouring attachment on the top or do you need to buy those seperately?
I buy them separately, linked in my Amazon page ☺️
@@_Alexmojica thanks girl!
Your videos: Always summarize at the end. Example of a summary at the end of your video: “ My top 5 flavors of syrups are……”. A few summaries are ALWAYS helpful.
Where can I get the cane sugar liquid Starbucks uses?
I don’t know what brand they use but monín and Torani both make cane sugar syrups
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!
try the rose one with lemonade or mojito😋
Thanks!
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!
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 😭
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!
Could you make a video on the ferrero rocher latte!? 😍✨
I can! Will do!
Anyone know how to get deals on vertuo pods? Coupon codes or something.
They don’t make coupons for their coffees. Sometimes they offer a free sleeve when you buy ridiculous amounts of sleeves but that’s it
@Alex Mojica errmurgurd nespresso. Thanks chica.
I think maybe a rose milk tea is better than with coffee
Thanks!
Try Monin roasted hazelnut.... So much better than regular
Thanks!
I agree with this
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 🤔
