Coffee Syrups Explained: Top Flavours for Office Coffee Machines

Coffee syrups are the perfect way to add a touch of sweetness and flavour to your morning brew. Whether you’re a seasoned coffee lover, a beginner, or somewhere in between, there’s a syrup to suit every taste — from soft vanilla and rich hazelnut to festive gingerbread.

Before we dive into finding the perfect syrup for you, we need to talk about the best way to use syrups. Everyone has their own methods but at Connect Vending we like to use flavoured syrups to make our lattes special.

The recommended method for adding the splash of syrup to your cup before placing it under a bean-to-cup coffee machine is:

1. Syrup first: Add your desired amount to your empty cup, usually 1-2 pumps per 8–12-ounce drink.
2. Add coffee: Pour your coffee of choice directly over the syrup.
3. Stir well: Thoroughly stir for around 10-15 seconds to ensure the syrup is fully incorporated and evenly distributed throughout your coffee.
4. Personalise: If the pump of syrup isn’t enough to satisfy your sugary cravings, then why not top your drink off with some whipped cream and sauce to compliment the syrup flavour inside to enhance your barista styled drink.

Lincoln & York surveyed over 1,000 consumers in the UK between the ages of 18 and 65+, their research concluded that 75% of consumers in the 18 to 34 group ‘always’ or ‘occasionally’ opt for a flavoured syrup in their coffee. But what are the best coffee syrups for the office.

1. DaVinci Gourmet Vanilla Syrup

Research conducted by OREO confirmed that vanilla is the best coffee syrup in uk. Vanilla syrup is a staple flavour that adds subtle sweetness to your coffee without overpowering the natural coffee taste.
