Which brand do you prefer? I've had da vinci caramel because that's what my grocery store carries but they only have a couple flavors and I wanna order some more. I looked a netrition.com and it looks like da vinci has more flavors but torani has many that sound good. I think the price is the same so that's not a factor. But which brand do you think tastes best?

I actually only get the caramel flavor. I like the DaVinci better, but buy the Torani because I can get it cheap and free shipping on Amazon.

I have no favorite however I do have Torani in my cupboard. I was looking at Amazon.com and noticed they have some real unique flavors I would want to try but sometimes, I just like buying from the store. The store I go to just has a couple of flavors. Are there any which have a wide variety?

I got mine (DaVinci)from supplementwarehouse $4.95 a bottle, but shipping tends to be pricey. They come in glass bottles but their packaging is wonderful. Even with the shipping, if you divide and add to each bottle it's cheaper than the 8 bucks most places charge

I just ordered German Chocolate Cake, Peanut Butter, Lime, and Creme de Menthe :D

Haven't tried Torani

I did order Capella Flavor Drops, Amaretto, from netrition though, since SW was out of amaretto da vinci. Apparently these are just flavor no sweetner, you add 1 drop per 2 oz of fluid (like liquid stevia) and they were only 4.95 per bottle, will have to let you know how they turn out

I prefer daVinci - You can sometimes find them for aboput 6 bucks (big bottle - 24 oz/750 ml) at homegoods in TJ Maxx or some sections of Marshalls

Johanna - like Joe-on-uh, or that movie, Juwanna Man!

I buy them from Cash & Carry nearby. They are both about $4 a bottle, give or take. To tell you the truth I haven't seen a big difference. I just choice the flavors that look good. I have tried at least 20 or more flavors and out of those I have about 5 or so I get regularly and many that I don't use much at all. I really haven't seen a preference. Sometimes they have store specials and one is cheaper then the other and that is the one I buy.
I guess if I had to choose I live DiVinci a little better just because of the choices but really it's a toss up.

I haven't had them often enough to differentiate between the brands...I buy what ever they sell when I am ordering something else.

I have never found them in any local stores. What stores do you find them in? I looked online and it listed HEB, but 3 stores...nothing.

I live in Houston, so if anyone knows where to buy local, please let me know as I hate online shopping. (oh wait, it is shopping I hate online or brick n mortar)

I've found them in Meijer and Kroger, in the coffee aisle, but only a couple flavors. I think most grocery stores have them. Probably Walmart too. But netrition.com has a million flavors and I believe their shipping is a flat rate, so that's a good deal.

To flavor protein shakes, or Greek yogurt, or make protein ice cream. I've been into lattes lately so I want to be able to make different flavors.
