Here's the type's and sorts of Barista Syrup's I use.
Not sure I have a favourite - they're all good. Wouldn't say they give any overly taste, so I like it.

I'm personally not a big fan of flavored coffee. The only exceptions may be a Peppermint Mocha or an Eggnog Latté during the holiday season, but for regular drip coffee, I want to taste the beans and the roast.

We were looking at Torani recently and were put off by all the artificial ingredients. We got some sample sized bottles of Monin in case anyone wants Irish Cream flavoring in their hot cocoa. The ingredients are fine.
 
Neither am I, to be honest.

I want my coffee to taste of coffee, not additives or flavourings.

I get it, pure is best.
I’ve been a straight coffee drinker from my machine since I got them.

When I worked I’d get k-cup with some flavor.

Enjoying the flavored bean, but now when this hopper is out back to straight goodness for a while.

Wow, that's a lot of beans, but shopping at Amazon has its benefits, as you know your shopping story very well.
I don't think I've bought much beans there myself however.
It's so many places here that sells beans, and we have an app in Sweden that's called Price-hunt, directly translated so when I’m shopping for new beans it’s a combination of what I know I like, testing something new, and what’s on good price at the moment.

I have bought Lavazza fot quite some time too, it’s a very solid brand, with so many variations.
But it has gone down a large variety of beans since I got my first Espresso-machine way way back.
Any beans with any type of Espresso-machine is better than coffee though in my reality
We call coffee 'dishwater' here 😏
But I have a French-press that comes to use when I’ve been between Espresso-machines or some trouble occurred. It goes down, but no thank-you as long as there’s Espresso machines.

Espresso-shops can be inspiring. I mostly visit the out-doors kind, in the summer.
