High-quality toppings are produced by such large companies as Delight, Monin, Teisseire, Pure. They offer a wide variety of flavors, so it will be difficult not to get confused. To make it easier to navigate this issue and have at least a little idea of what coffee will taste like with the addition of a certain type of syrup, you should pay attention to this point in the article.
Famous brands of syrups
Among coffee shops there is a rating of syrups, in which they are distributed according to quality and popularity. Let's talk about the most famous:
Monin coffee syrups.
Their prices are moderate. The range of flavors is wider than that of any other manufacturer. The disadvantages include the not entirely natural composition.
Teisseire.
A French manufacturer, the distinctive feature of its syrups is high quality. The only drawback is that syrups from this company are rarely found on supermarket shelves.
Delight.
The coffee additive is made in America. It differs in that it contains a small amount of calories. The most popular flavors are: toffee, chocolate, caramel, nut.
Caramel syrup
Caramel syrup is suitable for coffee with a pronounced bitterness and strength.
This topping has a delicate taste and light creamy notes: if you add it to coffee, the strength of this drink will soften a little. This additive traditionally accompanies coffee drinks with the addition of milk or cream.
Caramel syrup is best suited for strong pure Arabica espresso, cappuccino, latte, and cold cocktails with a coffee component. It is recommended to add this topping to a cup of freshly brewed drink.
Caramel syrup contains a lot of glucose, so it is contraindicated for those who suffer from diabetes.
Glaze with caramel syrup
Coffee recipe with caramel syrup
To prepare the drink you need to prepare:

Rules for preparing and drinking coffee with syrup
To properly brew an aperitif, a special technology is followed.
Proportions
Prescription dosage: for every 50 ml of base, use 1 tsp. (5 ml) additives.
Ingredient proportions by type:
- Romano, ristretto - 2 ml.
- Espresso - 5 ml.
- Mocha, macchiato - 5 ml.
- Americano - 10 ml.
- Cappuccino, raf - 15 ml.
- Latte, ice, torre - 20 ml.
- Frappe - 25 ml.
For coffee cocktails, the proportions are increased according to the recipe: for every 250 ml, use 3-4 tsp. sweetener.
Methods of use
Mixtures are added at different stages of preparation - when whipping the foam, mixing with water, forming layers.
Maple syrup
The most delicious maple syrup is produced in Canada.
This additive has a specific sweetish-resinous taste. Maple syrup is ideal for strong espresso, as well as cappuccino or macchiato. You need to add topping to a cup of prepared coffee.
Maple syrup is not recommended for those who suffer from diabetes, obesity or problems with the cardiovascular system: this is due to the increased glucose content in the supplement.
At the same time, maple syrup, provided it is consumed in moderation, also has beneficial effects for the body. This topping contains antioxidants, therefore it slows down the aging process of cells and protects the body from the effects of free radicals.
Maple syrup gives coffee a delicious aroma
You can purchase syrup in specialized confectionery stores or by ordering in an online store. When choosing a product, you need to pay attention to color and consistency: real maple syrup should be transparent or translucent and have a medium degree of oiliness. Real maple syrup should not contain cloudy inclusions.
Coffee recipe with maple syrup
The following ingredients are needed:
- brewed coffee – 1 cup;
- maple syrup - tablespoon;
- cream - to taste.
Coffee brewed in a Turk is poured into a cup and syrup is added. Since it is quite viscous, leave the spoon with the additive in the cup for 30 seconds, then stir. Add cream to the cup according to taste and desire.
Nut topping
This topping allows you to reduce the cloying and enhance the “sound” of the coffee note.
Syrup with a nutty flavor emphasizes the coffee notes, and in overly sweet coffee drinks it smoothes out excessive cloying.
Hazelnut syrup goes well with pure Arabica coffee: many of them have a nutty aftertaste, which can be enhanced by this additive. The additive is also good in strong espresso.
The drink will give you that same boost of vivacity and energy that many of us so lack in the early morning.
Add topping after coffee is brewed.
It is not recommended to indulge in nut syrup if you have diabetes, a tendency to allergic reactions, or certain skin diseases (neurodermatitis, eczema).
Recipe for coffee drink with nut topping
To enjoy this treat, you need to do:
- a serving (50 ml) of strong espresso;
- 3-5 ice cubes;
- tablespoon of nut topping.
A wonderful decoration for coffee will be a pattern on the foam.
It is best to mix the ingredients using a shaker. But, if you don’t have it, you can prepare a delicious drink by hand.
Crush the ice and add it to a cup of espresso with some nut syrup added to it.
This coffee drink is better suited for hot days. In the cold season, you can simply add a tablespoon of hazelnut or walnut flavored syrup to a cup of coffee (100 ml).
Rating of the best coffee syrups from Russian manufacturers, according to customer reviews
If preparing a coffee drink based on syrup is new to you, and you don’t even know which product to choose, then it makes sense to get acquainted with the opinions of experienced coffee lovers. You can find real reviews on resources such as Otzovik and Ozon, on the basis of which our rating of the best coffee toppings was compiled.
ProffSyrup “Caramel”
Price – 650 rub. for 1 l
Caramel coffee - what could be better? But not only a professional barista, but also a simple amateur can prepare it with such a syrup. Moderately soft, rich and viscous syrup is suitable not only for coffee, but also for any other drinks, ice cream and desserts. This topping is widely used in the menus of confectionery shops and coffee shops.
At the same time, the products boast an almost flawless composition and do not contain GMOs or synthetic additives. And even the flavors and dyes here are natural.
good, tasty syrup - not cloying and very aromatic; large amount of topping; economical consumption. a bit thin; lacks sweetness; sometimes the characteristic aftertaste of burnt caramel remains; a little expensive.
ProffSyrup “Irish Cream”
Price – 1560 rub. for 1 l
If you can't afford the previous position, then this one has every chance to seem golden, although it cannot be said that it is much better. Both are Russian-made, only Irish Cream has a minimum volume of 0.25 liters, which obviously won’t last long.
In general, the products are very worthy, especially considering their natural composition, the absence of GMOs and other potentially unsafe impurities, as well as their versatility and fairly good taste.
very tasty and quite thick syrup without being overly cloying; good composition and corresponding shelf life; topping is suitable not only for the bar, but also for cooking. the syrup is quickly consumed; high price tag; and yet there is chemistry in the taste and aftertaste of the product.
Penza maple syrup
Price – 944 rub. for 1 l
Yes, friends, today it is not at all necessary to go to Canada to taste the famous maple syrup, because it is also available in Russia, and of quite decent quality. The volume of the bottle is, of course, small - only 200 ml, but the optimal consistency greatly reduces consumption.
good taste qualities of the syrup with the specifics inherent in the product - an untrained taster may not like it; good composition without GMOs and other harmful additives. bears little resemblance to the classic Canadian one; small, inconvenient bottle to use; rather expensive product.
Date BeFresh, natural without sugar
Price – 1733 rub. for 1 l
An even more expensive Russian-made syrup made from Emirati raw materials, prepared on the basis of dates. It’s incredibly tasty, and most importantly, it’s completely harmless, and in some cases even healthy, since the syrup contains only natural ingredients, without aggressive chemicals or synthetic substitutes, hence the price.
tasty, moderately sweet syrup that does not stick on the teeth; can be used as a sugar substitute in various dishes, drinks and sauces; reasonable use allows you to make consumption more economical. Date palm raw materials are used for production, and not dates at all, which is a rather serious violation ;not the most practical plastic packaging; very expensive products in small volumes.
ProffSyrup “Hazelnut”
Price – 1560 rub. for 1 l
And this is generally a classic, because today nut coffee with syrup is offered in almost any stall. Meanwhile, you can easily make truly tasty and aromatic coffee on your own using this natural syrup without harmful ingredients.
There is only one “but” - a bottle with a small volume of 250 ml, which, of course, will not last long.

Coconut syrup
Coconut syrup is a mixture of sugar syrup and milk or shavings from coconut pulp.
This additive will soften the taste of even the strongest coffee drink. Coconut syrup pairs with strong espresso. It also brings out the milky note in a latte or macchiato.
Add to a cup of prepared coffee. If coconut topping is added to a cold cocktail, then this component is added to the shaker along with the rest of the ingredients.
Coconut syrup is very sweet, so it should not be consumed if you are obese or have diabetes.

Not All Flavored Syrups Are Made Equally
There are many flavoring syrups, but not all of them are suitable for adding to coffee. That's why we decided to explain what will suit you.
Flavored syrups typically contain a simple syrup: for example, sugar or sugar substitute is mixed with water, then heated to increase solubility. After this, flavoring agents are added. The final formula of the product indicates whether it is suitable for adding to coffee, cold drinks or cooking.
If you decide to look for flavoring syrups on your own, then you need to be sure that you choose the right product.
| Fine | Badly | Check the label |
| Syrup for adding to coffee | Syrup for cocktails | Syrup for cooking |
| Agave syrup | Concentrates | Dessert sauce |
Explanation
Syrups for adding to coffee
Typically, such products are formulated specifically for use in coffee-based beverages. They contain enough sugar or other sweetener to make the coffee sweet. In this case, there is a balance between the taste of the syrup and the drink itself.
Agave syrup (agave nectar)
Agave syrup is known for its subtle sweetness and light caramel notes. The plant's nectar can be added to coffee-based drinks. It will complement the taste of coffee with sweetness, but will not make it unbearably cloying.
Syrups for cocktails
These syrups usually have fruit flavors. They are designed to be added to cocktails and other cold drinks.
Concentrates
Concentrates are essentially flavorings that already contain caffeine. They should not be mixed with coffee, otherwise the taste will be too strong and the person will experience nervousness.
Syrups for cooking
Such products are used in marinades and sauces as sweeteners and flavoring agents.
Dessert sauces
Dessert sauces are not so clear cut. The selection of Ghirardelli sauces mentioned in our recommendations section are suitable for adding to coffee-based drinks.
Note: Do not confuse sweetener syrups with flavor syrups. These are simply liquid sweeteners that are added to desserts and cold drinks. Nevertheless, they can sweeten coffee in the absence of regular sugar. However, such syrups will not make the taste richer and deeper.
Vanilla syrup
This type of syrup is very popular among those with a sweet tooth.
This topping is suitable for sour Arabica varieties, masking the sourness, as well as bitter Robusta, neutralizing excess bitterness and making the taste of the finished drink softer.
Vanilla syrup can also be combined with milk or ice cream, so it can be added to a latte or frappe.
It is recommended to add syrup to hot coffee, and only after topping, add the milk component, if necessary.
The taste is liked not only by women, but also by many men who cannot imagine life without sweet treats
Contraindications for this additive are the same as for other types of sweet syrup.
This coffee has vanilla notes
The sweetness of the vanilla in this recipe will help balance out the milk.
How much to prepare:
- coffee brewed in a cezve – 80-100 ml;
- vanilla syrup – 2 tablespoons;
- cold milk - 4 tablespoons.
Brew coffee and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Pour the indicated amount of vanilla syrup into a cup, then coffee. After this, add milk in a thin stream and gently mix the ingredients.
Amaretto
A drink with the addition of liqueur creates a festive mood and can be a wonderful addition to dessert.
This additive has a light taste and aroma of almonds, reminiscent of the bouquet of the famous liqueur of the same name.
The almost imperceptible bitterness of almonds complements coffee drinks with added coffee well: latte, cappuccino, macchiato. The taste of Amaretto syrup is clearly visible when added to strong espresso.
Contraindications to the use of syrup are diabetes, obesity.
High-quality Amaretto syrup has a tart almond seed taste and a light aroma. It should be transparent, with a slight golden tint. This syrup is the leader in the popularity rating.
Coffee cocktail with Amaretto is a drink for those who like to pamper themselves and enjoy a pleasant coffee-almond aroma
Coffee recipe with Amaretto syrup
For the drink you need:
- brewed coffee (espresso) – 100 ml;
- topping - tablespoon;
- cream – 50 ml.
Add Amaretto syrup to the coffee, stir, then add cream.
Chocolate syrup
The chocolate additive is used to maximize the taste of the drink and give it a new and, at the same time, aftertaste so familiar from childhood.
This thick, viscous topping with a pronounced aroma of cocoa beans plays off the taste of traditional strong espresso or Turkish coffee.
Chocolate syrup is also used in iced coffee cocktails. For a latte, this is an amazing flavor additive.
The syrup is added to the finished hot coffee, carefully measuring the amount.
Contraindications for this product are the same as for other topping syrups.
This coffee is good to decorate with chocolate chips.

- ice - 3 cubes.
Add a pre-prepared mixture of ice, ice cream, milk and syrup, thoroughly whipped in a blender, to a cup of coffee. Sprinkle the top of the drink with finely grated chocolate and garnish with a mint leaf.
Irish syrup
A thick and viscous syrup that perfectly softens the harshness of rich coffee, with a rich bouquet of flavors made up of dark chocolate, buttery creamy caramel and aromatic vanilla.
This topping is found under the names “Irish Cream” or “Irish Cream”. Its peculiarity is a combination of notes of cream, vanilla and a subtle bitterness inherent in natural chocolate without additives.
Irish syrup softens the harshness of freshly brewed, rich coffee. It will complement the taste of a drink made from both Arabica and Robusta.
Topping is added to the finished coffee.
Irish coffee is an invention of the resourceful bartender John Sheridan from a small Irish airport, born in 1942
Contraindications are standard: obesity, vascular problems, diabetes.

Top popular foreign brands, according to consumers
When buying coffee syrup, it would be a sin not to support the domestic manufacturer, who, one might say, is taking the first, but already such confident steps in this field. Well, if you want something more authentic, then it is better to choose foreign importers, also using the rating based on customer reviews.

Its soft sweet taste will complement a classic espresso or Americano.
Tiramisu topping can be added to hot or chilled coffee: the product does not curdle in the drink and does not drown in the milk foam of a cappuccino or latte.
Contraindications are standard.
It’s not for nothing that tiramisu is translated from Italian as “delight me”, because light shades of Irish cream, cappuccino, cookies, cocoa and mascarpone will delight any sweet tooth
Recipe for a coffee drink with the popular Tiramisu syrup

General information about coffee syrups
Syrup is usually used to reduce high acidity, which is the result of improper processing of grains or mixing with low-quality raw materials.
Since sugar is used as the basis of the product, the resulting coffee tastes less tart and sour.
Additional ingredients of the composition - caramel, chocolate, salted peanuts, berries, mint - not only hide excessive bitterness and astringency, but also change the taste perception of coffee, for example, when the grain is over-roasted or improperly ground.
Product Features
Coffee syrup is a sugar solution that contains food additives and colorings. These include fruit juices, pulp, milk, chocolate, thickeners, and emulsifiers.
Some products are made only from natural ingredients. However, the recipe does not always involve the use of sugars. In this case, the labels are labeled Sugar Free.
| Peculiarities | Characteristics with explanations |
| High sugar concentration | Classic recipe - 600-800 g of product per 1 liter |
| Diversity of the company's | The product is produced in 2 directions: traditional solutions that have a familiar taste (chocolate, vanilla, caramel, etc.); exotic (with aromas of cookies, donuts, notes of ginger or cloves). The latter are represented by complex blends with floral scents. They can be either natural or artificial |
| Base viscosity | The consistency of the natural product depends on the amount of sugar and the recipe. All solutions are conventionally divided into viscous ones, which are poured through a dispenser, and viscous ones. The dosage of the latter is regulated using a special pump. |
| Heating level | Not every solution is suitable for hot espresso or cold coffee cocktail at the same time - it can simply curdle due to high temperatures or milk |
| The versatility of the syrup | There are products designed for any cocktails, dishes |
Due to these features, companies mark bottles with their products with special icons. In some cases, it is indicated that the syrup can be used to prepare sour-tasting cocktails - with ice or hot milk.
Differences from topping
Coffee syrup is a type of topping, but with a special way of serving. The product is most often mixed with espresso or Americano. Topping is used to decorate the surface of an aperitif with milk (cream, foam, sprinkles, chocolate, pieces of fruit, berries, nuts).
The main difference between supplements is the consistency of the product.
Natural syrup improves taste. The topping serves as a decoration that completes the aesthetic appearance.
Gingerbread Syrup
A specific, but at the same time incredibly tasty and original concentrate, moderately sweet, piquantly spicy and tart, leaving behind a long aftertaste of oriental spices.
