Hazelnut Coffee — Toasted Hazelnut Medium Roast | Milestone Brewed Coffee

Hazelnut coffee is one of the most beloved flavored coffees in the world — and one of the most frequently done wrong. Most versions use artificial flavoring that produces a synthetic, cloying sweetness with nothing to do with actual hazelnuts. Ours is different. Specialty-grade Brazilian single-origin beans, smooth medium roast, natural hazelnut oil applied while the beans are still warm. The result is a cup that actually tastes like hazelnuts — warm, toasty, and genuinely satisfying.

Why We Made This

The choice of base bean matters enormously in flavored coffee. Brazilian coffee has a natural nuttiness and sweetness that pairs perfectly with hazelnut — the two flavors are natural complements. The Brazilian base brings almond and chocolate notes that enhance the hazelnut rather than competing with it. We use natural hazelnut oil applied to the beans while they're still warm from roasting — the warmth opens the bean's pores and locks in the aroma and flavor. The result is a coffee that smells like a hazelnut bakery from the moment you open the bag and delivers on that promise in every cup.
