February 20, 2021Reviewer: Dora in Oregon* I have tried a bunch of the flavors but my All time favorites are the Danish swirl, coconut and graham cracker ones. They all taste great and you don't need a whole lot to get the rich flavors out of them.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Cinnamon Danish Swirl

-
January 16, 2021Reviewer: A customer in Ohio* I was really excited seeing all the different flavors since McCormick has limited offerings and I hate leaving a bad review, but I'm very disappointed. For the price point I expected the flavor to be more concentrated, I have to use A LOT of this to taste the flavoring. I have used it in protein shakes, waffles, pancakes, and coffee. Using half the bottle doesn't make me happy and wasting money makes me even unhappier. Would not recommend.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulApril 28, 2020Reviewer: Kelly in Indiana* Love capella drops! I’m on a keto diet and use these to flavor fat Bombs, egg loaf and other such dishes. They have strong flavor and no alcohol bite or after taste like many food flavorings. My favorites are double chocolate, buttercream, Bavarian cream, cake batter and orange creamsicle.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulApril 02, 2020Reviewer: Anastasios in Maryland* Great to flavor my casein protein shake. Some are better than others, like the cheesecake, Bavarian cream, vanilla custard. I’m less thrilled with the fruit flavors but love the lime with the cheesecake. Butters are more favorites. Chocolate is a loser as are the nut flavors which taste more of alcohol.
Haven’t tried the rest so I couldn’t say.

February 07, 2020Reviewer: Trudy Frances in Washington* I love these Capella flavor drops. Use them for all sorts of things. I’ve got several of these flavorings on hand so I can flavor things with them. Put flavor in your oatmeal or tea. Anything that needs flavored. I’d highly recommend it.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulDecember 03, 2019Reviewer: kreela in Virginia* What I like about the Capella flavor drops: I have tried Boston Cream Pie, Vanilla Cream, Butter Cream, Sugar Cookie, and Horchata. I like all the unique flavor options.
What I don't like: The flavors are ephemeral and too light. You have to add up to 12 drops at a time; a pour spout would have been better, in larger quantities. In the long run, I will stick with Torani's sugar free, Jordan's Skinny Syrups, or Da Vinci sugar-free syrups. The flavors are stronger, even if there are fewer to choose.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJuly 02, 2019Reviewer: A guest* I originally purchased these flavor drops to make flavored water in order to cut back on the amount of soda I was drinking. Using the drops on their own, I found the flavor somewhat lacking. However, after adding some citric acid and erythritol, the flavor is much more in line with the flavored bottled water you can buy in stores. Here's a recipe I have found works for me, but feel free to play with the amounts to find what works for you:
32oz. water
16 drops of your preferred flavor (I usually go with one of the fruit flavors)
1/2 tsp. Citric Acid
1 tsp. Erythritol w/ Monk Fruit Extract
Shake it to mix and enjoy!

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 29, 2019Reviewer: Ken in Virginia* The cola drops are just OK. It takes a LOT more drops to flavor than the label suggests. I bought the drops to make sugar free cola with a sweetener I like because there is no sugar free soda commercially made that I like. Making cola with these drops and sparkling water does generally taste like cola, but is horrible trying to use it for a cocktail with alcohol...and thats the primary reason I wanted it.
I may just throw out the rest of it.

April 17, 2019Reviewer: Lana in Washington* Really enjoy the caramel flavor! Great in coffee.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Caramel
-
April 04, 2019Reviewer: Mary in Wisconsin* The description of these drops indicates that they are 'highly concentrated'. The directions say to use 1 drop per ounce of liquid. When following the directions, the result is a liquid with hardly any flavor at all. Plan on using a lot more drops than you planned.

December 11, 2018Reviewer: Marsha in Washington* Capella drops are an effective manner to get the taste without the sugar into your coffee. We are especially partial to those that flavor like Irish Cream, Chocolate Glazed Doughnut, Marshmallow, and French Toast (the latter now apparently not available). Five to ten drops perfume a cup of coffee so that you smell it before you taste it. The fruit-flavored drops (Banana Split, Juicy Peach, Lemon, etc.) seem not to be intended for coffee but are lovely in tea. We love Capella drops and wouldn't be without them!

3 of 8 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 27, 2018Reviewer: Ronald in Georgia* These products taste exactly like whatever flavor that you purchase. Add your own sweetener and they are great. My only issue is they are made with propylene glycol. This is a similar ingredient also known as antifreeze. Why can't someone make an all natural flavoring? Being a diabetic, I have to recreate my favorite recipes. So replacing sugar with a no carb sweetener (Stevia) and other flavorings are helpful. But toxic man-made ingredients is also as bad a sugar to diabetics. I'm hoping that Capella will come out with good-for-you products in the future.
-
September 18, 2018Reviewer: Vicki in Kentucky* These drops are great, I like the flavors I received. They taste like what they are supposed to taste like (strawberry tastes like strawberry) It gives my water a taste of berry or fruit and they were delivered quickly. I have not tried anything else yet.

4 of 5 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 17, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I ordered 7 different flavors of drops. I was so excited at the selection and ended up ordering much more than I would normally have for a first time order. I have to sadly say that I am very disappointed with this product. I have opened and tried 3 different flavors now and all have been the same, no flavor. In 25 oz of water I added a total of 50 drops, 1/4 to 1/3 of the bottle and the water barely has a hint of flavor and even then it is unrecognizable.
I tried this over and over in smaller and smaller amounts, using 3 different flavors and finally, a 10 ounce glass of water got 30 drops, and still no flavor. I had such high expectations for these drops. It seems flavor drops are actually easy to make, everyone is doing it, for cheap. However, whatever is going on here is is truly unfortunate and strongly missing the mark.

-
December 27, 2017Reviewer: Barbara A in Arkansas* The flavoring is in alcohol, and when you use the drops, that is what you taste. The cola that comes through is not pleasant-has a metallic overtone that is not right. I made one glass, took two sips, and dumped the rest down the drain.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Cola

November 01, 2017Reviewer: Linda in Kentucky* These drops taste soooo good, just like graham crackers. So far I’ve only used in coffee but when I make a keto cheesecake I’m goin to use them in the pecan and butter crust!This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Graham Cracker

October 14, 2017Reviewer: stephanie in Missouri* I love using these to flavor my coffee and yogurt. I use them in baking as well.
-
August 10, 2017Reviewer: Carol in California* I'm only saying no to recommendation because if you have any food sensitivities, this might not work for you. Used the berry flavor to flavor my water and got instant pressure in my head meaning I reacted to it. So there is something in this product that my body doesn't like.

June 15, 2017Reviewer: Lynn Gard in Texas* These drops are a wonderful addition to my morning coffee - who can resist a little graham cracker flavor?? I also use them to add a deeper flavor layer to my water bottle.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Graham Cracker
-
May 05, 2017Reviewer: Giulio in Georgia* I really like this product. It does a great job at flavoring almost anything. From shakes to water to baked goods. Since the product is not sweetened, you can use your preferred sugar substitute and adjust sweetness to you liking without affecting overall flavor intensity. Flavors are hit or miss. Some are really good, some not so good. My favorites for baked goods are the vanilla custard and NY cheesecake. For liquids I love the cola, the orange creamsicle and the cranberry. Flavors I didn't particularly care for include caramel, chocolate glazed donut and sugar cookie.
-
February 15, 2017Reviewer: A customer in Pennsylvania* Some flavors have been disappointing, and there are still more I would like to try. Great for adding to tea and coffee because you can control the sweetness and use whatever sweetener you prefer.

-
June 23, 2016Reviewer: A customer in Indiana* The Cotton Candy flavor is to *DIE* for. Cotton candy used to be my all-time favorite summer treat, but I had to cut it out of my low-carb diet. It's almost July now, and cotton candy is everywhere, and I've been feeling a bit deprived. I put a few drops of this into some Greek yogurt sweetened with stevia, and the flavor was delicious and exactly what I'd been hoping for. Also works really well in vanilla protein fluff. I haven't tried making ice cream with it yet, but that is next on the to-do list. Is it like eating cotton candy? No. But is it a great nostalgic treat for those hot summer fair months? Absolutely.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Blue Raspberry Cotton Candy
-
May 31, 2016Reviewer: Nicholas in United Kingdom* I use Capella drops the add flavour to unflavoured whey protein shakes, and in my opinion the best flavour for this is French Vanilla. I use only about one drop per 100 ml, which is plenty strong enough. Any more than this and it acquires a chemical taste. I also add some of my favourite sweetener which I wish Netrition would stock: NuNaturals LoSweet. Another flavour that works well for me is Gingerbread.
Be careful if you want to use Capella drops to flavour protein drinks. I've tried a few different flavours and some of them either taste of virtually nothing (Vanilla Cupcake) or don't work with protein shakes at all (Raspberry).
-
March 07, 2016Reviewer: Tina in California* Wow I was really surprised how much this tasted like cucumber. It helps me drink more water too. You need a drop per ounce so the little bottle will go fast.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Cucumber

4 of 4 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 22, 2016Reviewer: A customer in Oregon* Overall, we love these -- just bought a dozen more flavors we haven't tried yet. We picked up a sodastream cheap, and these are perfect for adding to the plain carbonated water (10-12 drops or so per pint). Also great in coffee.
.4 ounces isn't a lot, but when you're measuring it in 10-drop increments, these little bottles last a surprisingly long time (a couple months even with daily-ish usage).
Of course, as you'd expect, some of these flavors are WAY better than others. Some especially disappointing ones: marshmallow, honeydew melon, cake batter, hot cinnamon candy, bacon (basically it's Liquid Smoke).
Some favorites for coffee so far: chocolate raspberry, toasted almond, chocolate caramel nut.
Some favorites for "sodas": cucumber (alone, or mixed with sweet guava), lemon meringue, graham cracker, grapefruit, NY cheesecake, pina colada.

December 27, 2015Reviewer: Mary in Virginia* I used this to add flavor to my coffee and plan to try it in baked goods. I like that it is not sweetened so that I can sweeten it to my own taste. Yum!This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Gingerbread
-
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulDecember 12, 2015Reviewer: Janet in Florida* I have most of the flavors. I mean it. I have the cutest cabinet hanging on the kitchen wall. My grand daughter likes to open a bottle and sniff the lid to see if it smells like the title. They all smell like they're supposed to but when you add them to cookies or frosting you have to be very careful. Not enough and the flavor is very subtle. Too much and you get the chemical bitterness after taste. Follow the suggested label and add 6 drops for 6 oz. frosting. You never get strong flavor before reaching the bitterness level. But where are you going to get flavors like this? I use DaVinci for moist baking, Loran for extreme frosting and Capella for a hint of flavor. I also use a sprinkle of water flavorings on top of cookies for tartness sometimes.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulOctober 06, 2015Reviewer: A customer in Indiana* I have to keep very careful track of my carb intake. For the cold season, I like to heat up a cup of unsweetened almond milk (one of the brands with zero net carbs), sweeten with stevia, and add a few drops of the Hot Cocoa Capella flavor to make zero-carb hot chocolate. No, it's not going to be like the real thing, but it tastes pretty close, and on chilly days when I can't afford even one extra carb, it's a life-saver.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Hot Cocoa
-
September 01, 2015Reviewer: Fostinner in Georgia* I had previously tried the Orange and Egg Nog Flavor Drops and was pretty impressed. This time I ordered the chocolate almond coconut and pumpkin pie to try in my coffee and was very pleased with the flavor. It only took 4-5 drops to flavor a 16 oz travel mug of coffee. I will no longer be buying CoffeeMate to put in my coffee! I would love to see a Key Lime pie flavor from Cappella to use for my low carb baking items or for smoothies. I did not really enjoy the Flavlet in the Orange Mango. It sort of has a weird aftertaste I did not like when I tried using it in sparkling water with a little liquid Splenda. I would definitely recommend the Flavor drops to people to try in coffee, smoothies and baking.

0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 25, 2014Reviewer: Janet G in Texas* Beware of ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS. I am so bummed. I got the Spearmint drops and they are made with natural flavors. I really have been trying to stay away from artificial flavors, colors, most preservatives (sulfites, nitrites, etc) so I thought this product is great! I just received the coconut and dutch chocolate mint. Coconut is artificial and the other has both natural (probably the mint) and artificial. Anyway, this may not matter to many people but for those who try to follow a stricter diet, here's my review...
-
September 28, 2013Reviewer: Shelby in Michigan* I ordered the butter, peanut butter, and snick snack. I wanted butter flavoring so i could add it to my protein pancakes, but it's just weird. It does not taste like butter at all. Peanut butter is pretty good, but not very flavorful. Snick snack is pretty good-- it adds a nice chocolately, slightly nutty warmness. But it requires a good amount of drops. I might try a few other flavors, but I was much happier with the sugar free syrup I ordered.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 19, 2013Reviewer: A customer in Pennsylvania* These are great for adding to all kinds of things - can't believe I waited so long before trying them! I use the banana flavor in hot low carb cereal and low carb "banana" nut bread, and the fruit favors in water with sweetener. Caramel, Irish cream, and hot cocoa flavors are great in coffee. And for a quick low carb dessert, whipped cream with almost any flavor drops and sweetener - or just mix into low carb vanilla ice cream for all kinds of flavors. The other brands of sugar free syrups are good too but these are more versatile and take up a lot less room in my cabinets.
-
June 01, 2013Reviewer: amalie in Virginia* I bought these because I do not like sweet coffee but I do enjoy varying the flavor. These are okay. I need about 1 drop per ounce in order to taste the flavor over the coffee and cream flavors. I've tried butter, caramel, double chocolate and irish cream. Some flavors have more of a chemical note than others - its more of a smell than a taste but it turns me off a little. In sweet applications, I prefer to use sugar free syrups. Butter adds a subtle flavor to baked goods - I like it more than other butter flavorings I've used.

January 16, 2013Reviewer: Lisa in Texas* I love the Capella flavor drops. So far, my favorite is Sugar Cookie, but the peanut butter, NY Cheesecake and the vanilla cupcake are good too. I use them to flavor my coffee along with my Fiberfit (BEST sweetener ever!). I love peanut butter in my oatmeal, but on WW, I don't want the points of a lot of peanut butter, so I can put in one tsp of peanut butter and add the capella pb drops in and it tastes like I used more. I'm ordering more today, so hopefully these will be good too. Worth the money!
-
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 05, 2012Reviewer: Stephanie in Maryland* I'm very happy with this product and have purchased several different flavorings including NY Cheesecake, Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble, etc. The reason I love this is that it doesn't add an alcohol or chemical taste to the food and I can sweeten it with whatever I want. Also, I no longer have to store those large bottles of Syrups, etc. The variety is outstanding.
Thus far I've used it to mainly flavor Greek Yogurt and it does a bang up job. I will continue to buy these every time I order.
-
May 01, 2012Reviewer: Sara in Florida* I love these drops, especially the TOASTED ALMOND. Nestle Coffeemate and others have stopped making coffee creamers in this flavor, and I love it more than any other! So boo-hoo to them, I am saving much money and getting what I really like, not being forced to buy something I don't like. Capella's drops really do go a long way! Much research and experience has shown me that Netrition is the best place to buy these. This time I have ordered some peach, kiwi-strawberry, and blueberry pomegranate water flavoring drops, too!
-
March 26, 2012Reviewer: Barbara in Connecticut* I have purchased these drops and just put in an order for 7 more flavors. They are fantastic. They make my coffee taste awesome and now I can have whatever flavor I want and not worry that when I have a favorite, they will discontinue it or it will only be seasonal like peppermint mocha coffee mate was for a long time. They do not have a funny chemical smell or taste as another reviewer said , and the flavors are lip smacking good. Carmel, Chocolate Raspberry,and Toasted Almond , are awesome in coffee. NY cheesecake and orange cream are super delicious in homemade greek style yogurt(or store bought) These keep me on my low carb plan.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpfulOctober 01, 2011Reviewer: Loretta in Oregon* I love these little guys! I must own almost every flavor. I like that I can choose my own sweetener (usually stevia) and since they are so small, I can have a whole stash of them and not take up half the kitchen counter as with the big glass bottles of sugar free syrups.
My current favorite: Boston Creme Pie. I put a few drops in plain unsweetened yogurt, add my stevia, and YUMMO! Better yet, I make my yogurt into thick greek yogurt, add the same flavors, and it makes a fabulous thick and creamy topping for any dessert.
Hints: Add the amaretto or irish cream to your coffee. I use French Vanilla a LOT, & go thru it fast. I bake low carb, sugar free and gluten free (not easy!) So I use these to punch up flavors with great success... Add the peanut butter drops to peanut butter cookies, or pumpkin pie spice to spice muffins, or Waffle drops to flour free waffles, or blueberry, or strawberries n cream to your shakes.
It's fun to experiment. Each time I made a Netrition order, I would just get a couple more, till I had most of them. :-)
I'm fairly picky, but I give these 5 stars!

11 of 11 people found the following review helpfulAugust 26, 2011Reviewer: A customer in Texas* These are excellent flavors. I have tried other flavors. These drops are much more highly concentrated - often only 1-2 drop per cup of liquid is needed. I prefer flavor over filler. With some flavorings, if you add too much, the filler flavor takes over. Not with these. The flavor just becomes really intense. Almost all (I think they have a new butter that isn't) are alcohol free so you can use them in products that won't be heated. This is the only brand I've tried where cheesecake actually has a flavor and yum! I can't tolerate dairy products (even lactose free) any I used to love cheesecake and custards and have been trying to find a good approximation to use with soy and other milk substitutes. These work great. I've used to flavor coffee, homemade ice cream, chocolate, oatmeal, agar desserts, to make different flavored cupcakes from one box and they did well in all cold and hot. I make a lot of items for diabetics and others on low carb diets. These drops pair extremely well with EZ Sweetz to make sugar-free items without the maltodextrin filler and sugar alcohols that many of the people I cook for are sensitive to.
-
August 03, 2011Reviewer: A customer in Virginia* I tried the double chocolate and the cappuccino to provide a low carb change from coffee creamers. I was surprised. I liked the overall concept; it only took a few drops to flavor my tea. To me, the cappuccino didn't taste how I expected (sweet and creamy), but the double chocolate was good. I will order more flavors. For the cost, they take up less room than the big bottles of sweeteners, so they're more practical and easy to transport. I checked out the manufacturer's website, and I see the product is cheaper through Netrition.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Cappuccino, V2

July 25, 2011Reviewer: william in Florida* I tried the banana flavor in a vanilla protein milk shake, pretty good taste. I also tried to make some banana popsicle's with bottled water and some sucralose, didn't work, tasted yucky. Threw in drain. But the flavor is there, just have to use it in the right way.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Banana

July 23, 2011Reviewer: A customer* My favorite capella drop by far is the NY Cheesecake! This is to die for...well if you are a cheesecake lover! Just make sure you add the sweetener...Excellent! I tried the other ones like Peanut butter and Marshmallow but the flavor was over powered by whatever I put it in. I read somewhere that if you let the flavor and sweetener sit for a while to let the flavors kind of "meld" together then the Capella flavor is even better! I will try again when I use the Peanutbutter and Marshmallow flavors. This is a great discovery for Low-carbers and sugar watchers alike...you can practically have your cake and eat it tooo..cheesecake that is....

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 04, 2011Reviewer: A customer in New York* I purchased five different flavors on someone's recommendation, but they smelled and tasted like chemicals. The French Vanilla was just awful--smelled like motor oil and had little vanilla taste. I also tried the various chocolate flavors and found the same problem. A great idea, but they smell and taste very artificial.

April 29, 2011Reviewer: Jessica in New York* These are good for flavoring coffee and smoothies. 3-4 drops are all you need for a 16 oz drink or typically sized yogurt. Just make sure you add your sweetener to make the taste complete--the drops are intentionally left unsweetened to make them usable for everybody. Agave, stevia, Splenda, aspartame, sugar, whatever: that's all up to you.

April 27, 2011Reviewer: Kenneth in New York* I don't know why this isn't getting all 5 star reviews! The blueberry flavor is top-notch. You have to add your own sweetener. This is great for flavoring plain protein drinks. I use 8 drops of Capella blueberry, and 6 drops of EZ Sweetz (Splenda liquid concentrate) with 3 scoops whey protein. Shake it up in a shaker cup, and enjoy! I just ordered 2 more flavors, can't wait to try them. In my experience, Capella drops are superior to the Stevita flavorings (which have Stevia already added). I have to add 20-25 drops of the Stevita flavors to get the same effect from my Capella formula (8 drops Capella, 6 drops EZ Sweetz). Capella drops seem more intense.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Blueberry

Chemically and just plain weak. Maybe better luck with simpler flavorings.This review is specific to Flavor Drops, Marshmallow

March 01, 2011Reviewer: Leelannee in New Jersey* These can be used as a substitute for "coffee" syrups like DaVinci--less packaging, no artificial coloring, and YOU sweeten to your taste! Also, if you are suspicious of Splenda and artificial sweeteners, you can use stevia or erythritol--whatever you prefer. Capella drops really concentrate the flavor!!!
I have used the cool mint, raspberry & root beer float to flavor water/seltzer, and orange creamsicle for yogurt and protein shakes. I wasn't crazy about the chocolate--but I really really love real chocolate!
You can also use them in coffee or tea, or to flavor muffins, cheesecake, frosting, pancake syrups, etc.
I think these drops are great--for the environment as well as for variety in your kitchen!

7 of 8 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 28, 2011Reviewer: Mary in Pennsylvania* If I could give Flavor Drops a rate of 0 I would. My opinion is that flavor drops is one of the worst flavorings you could add to anything. I ordered quite a few directly from Capella before Netrition carried them. They have an artificial chemical flavor and an even worst aftertaste. None of the flavors I tried tasted like the flavor it said it was. Sad to say, I couldn't even get a refund.
