Millstone Hazelnut Cream Coffee Review

I am primarily a tea drinker, but there are those days when my toddler wakes me up early in the morning and I really need some caffeine.  It's not that I don't enjoy a good cup of coffee, I am just prone to becoming addicted to it.  If I drink it too often, I can't function without it, so I broke that addiction a long time ago and now drink coffee as an occasional treat.

I felt like a cup of coffee this morning and made whatever we had in the cupboard which happened to be Millstone Hazelnut Cream Coffee.  I wasn't expecting much because I am unfamiliar with the Millstone brand, but I am pleasantly surprised.

I have had other hazelnut flavored coffees before and thought the flavor was too sweet and tasted overly artificial.  Millstone Hazelnut Cream Coffee is not very sweet at all, but still tastes good.  Ironically, it is made with natural and artificial flavors.  The front of the bag of coffee shows a big piece of cake with creamy frosting and little hazelnuts surrounding it.  I find the flavor of the "creamy cake" almost non-existent because the hazelnuts pretty much take over.  That's not necessarily a bad thing though, just not what I expected.

I gave Millstone Hazelnut Cream Coffee 4 stars because although the cream part of the Hazelnut Cream is missing, the coffee still tastes good.  I would buy it again and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys nutty coffee flavors - just don't expect it to taste like the picture on the bag.
