What can I add to coffee to change it up a bit?
I don't have any problem with black coffee, but I was wondering if anyone had any good 'recipes' to add a little flavor .... For example, spices, hazelnut, etc. I add a little milk to my coffee, no sugar. Nothing big, something I could find around my kitchen to add to the brewed coffee. Any ideas?

Buy a small piece of cheese cloth or linen at your local craft store and put in any aromatic spice suggested or that you can think of. It will filter it just like your coffee filter and you reduce the risk of getting residue in your coffee. Even a small packet of spice wrapped very tightly in 2 paper towels works (I've done it, even to just brew coffee when I ran out of filters!). Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, allspice, cardamon, cocoa powder, even a bit of fresh ground pepper.
Other ideas:
Put a cinnamon stick in with the coffee grounds prior to starting the brewing cycle-- fantastic!
You can also get the Italian coffee syrups that coffee houses use-- you can buy them online or most of your local coffee shops sell the syrups they use. Not too pricey & great for guests too.
You can put a vanilla bean (score it w/a knife) in a small container of milk to have real vanilla flavored milk.
Put 2 chocolate chips in your finished brewed cup, let sit for a moment & stir. Also maple syrup!

Pure Vanilla extract...
In the grocery store they have those coffee flavor products that can make it taste better.
Five frozen Cranberries, before brewing an eight cup pot.
Let me know how you like it.
RUM.
If you like to drink alcohol, try Baileys or Franjelico.
Try Cognac.
Hot chocolate mix.
drop in one or two hershey's kisses-- or any solid chocolate. let it melt a bit, then stir and enjoy.

Cinnamin, but you got to go with at least one splenda to make the flavor of the cinnnamin come out...
Maybe a little whipped cream, cinnamon or cocoa powder sprinkled on top. Some people will even add the cinnamon to the grounds before brewing for a different outcome. There are tons of choices in syrups to change it up, I prefer torani syrup. You can usually find them in the coffee isle at your grocery store. Also what is called a cocoa cafe in some places is make hot chocolate but with coffee instead of water.
Cinnamon---very tasty
I use Splenda Vanilla flavoring it rocks!!!!!!!!!!
Brandy
Try some instant cocoa mix.
chocolate :)
cinnimon, whisky.......mmmm pass me a cup please!
dash of vanilla extract
Vanilla and whipped cream. Not the can style but the one you'll get by whipping heavy cream. It is delicious.
There are a number of cream type liquers that are nice - like Bailey's or Sheridan's. Other than that it would be a matter of tast as far as spices go - vanilla might be nice, you could try honey or corn syrup - be creative, who knows what you might discover
Just a bit of salt. Can be combined with cocoa and cinnamon.
To get a very nice arabian touch, try cardamom.
To use something around your kitchen now: vanilla, cinnamon sugar, chocolate chips, cream, bailey's, frangellico, amaretto.
To pick up at store to use: flavored syrups
mix your milk with all spice stir and then add to coffee then enjoy!
