Hawaiian Hazelnut - Copper Moon Review

Buying a two pound bag of untested coffee beans is a risk. What if they don’t deliver on flavor and we are stuck with two pounds of coffee?!

Well have no fear – Copper Moon’s Hawaiian Hazelnut is worth every ounce of the two-pound bag we found at HEB! 

When brewed using a French press to our usual specs - 50g medium-fine ground coffee, 32 oz of 200° water (best at 202°-203°) - Hawaiian Hazelnut produces an active bloom with a sweet coconut and hazelnut aroma and the gentlest touch of smoke.

This medium roast coffee has the perfect balance of smoky undertones and strong roasted hazelnut flavors. It is nutty, earthy, slightly sweet, and perfect for everyday drinking. There is a strong coconut flavor alongside the hazelnut that I fell in love with. The slight sweetness of coconut and the gentle hazelnut flavors makes it a great base if you want to brew in many ways, for instance a cold brew or iced coffee.

Food Pairings:

Copper Moon’s Hawaiian Hazelnut will pair with many delicious breakfasts, but we highly recommend pairing it with something savory like eggs and bacon, or with our Sugar Cookies with toasted coconut and cajeta! The addition of caramel from the cookies, along with the toasted coconut and sweet hazelnut from the coffee, is a delicious treat that will put a smile on your face.

I am glad we took a risk on Copper Moon’s 2 lb bag of coffee beans (large quantity and an affordable price!). We will definitely be replenishing our stores soon and keeping this one around for weekly enjoyment.

Cheers,

Mrs. Brew

P.s. On their website, Hawaiian Hazelnut is available in a 12 oz bag, but in our store we only had the 2 lb option.
