First Impressions
The aroma of Hazelnut Cream is the best part. It smells strongly of hazelnut from the moment it brews.
The first sip surprised us with a sharp bitterness. We rarely add sweetener, but this cup made us think about it. The hazelnut we smelled is lighter in the taste than we expected.
Let it sit on your tongue and it opens up. Creamy hazelnut comes through, with hints of baking chocolate and hazelnut butter. It is a mild coffee, not a strongly flavored one.
What’s in the Bag
Jose’s roasts Hazelnut Cream to a medium roast from 100% Arabica beans, and flavors it with natural and artificial flavors. The bag describes a nutty aroma, a sweet, creamy taste, a well-balanced body and a lingering finish. The nutty aroma matches what we found. The sweetness was harder for us to pick out behind the first bitter sip.
Jose’s does not name the countries the beans come from and does not publish roast or body scores. The bag holds 32 ounces, 2 lb, of whole bean coffee.
Drawbacks
- The first sip is sharply bitter. Some drinkers will want sugar or cream.
- The hazelnut is stronger in the aroma than in the taste. If you want a bold hazelnut cup, add a splash of hazelnut syrup.
- It is hard to find. Jose’s lists it for Costco Roadshow events only, Costco.com had no listing, and we found no Amazon listing in September 2026.
- The flavor comes from natural and artificial flavorings, which will not suit people who drink only unflavored coffee.
Who It Is For
Hazelnut Cream suits people who want a gentle hazelnut and chocolate cup and prefer subtle flavor over intensity. The 2 lb bag fits an office or a household that drinks flavored coffee every day.
Hazelnut Cream is one of several Costco coffees we have tried. See our pick of the best coffee at Costco, updated as the stock changes with the seasons.
