Of course, obviously you want to read the label. If the ingredients aren't there, or are confusing (ie the nebulous " natural and artificial flavoring " ), you can try to contact the company who makes the coffee. I just did this for a few companies - Starbucks doesn't have flavored beans - they use syrup made by a company called Fontana. They read me the ingredients of some of the flavors, and most things looked ok, except " natural flavoring " . Haven't found Fontana on the web. I have a call in to Seattle's Best Coffee and an email in to Millstone to ask them about their flavored coffee beans. Will let you know if I get any responses.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Steph The brands/varieties of coffee that you use are clearly OK, but it doesn't necessarily follow that all of them are. It would be useful if you could list the brands/varieties that you use.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 I used a local brand called " Schuil's " . It probably is only available in Michigan since the corp headquarters is in Grand Rapids where I live. Steph Re: LID coffee > > > > > > > merinflag2002 wrote: > > > > > > > Hi all!
