Like so many working stiffs, I’ve GOT to have my coffee in the morning to get jump started. Traditionally, I’m a Folgers Classic Roast kind of guy and I doctor my coffee with some hazelnut flavored creamer. So no, I’m NOT a coffee snob. I don’t do the whole beans and a coffee grinder thing, screw that, buying ground coffee works just fine for me.
But in trying to eliminate some sugars from my diet, I’ve dropped the flavored creamer from my morning routine, switching to real, heavy cream. The various flavored brands of coffee creamer range 5-10 grams of sugar per serving, heavy cream weighs in at 0.1 grams. But in making that change, my coffee was far less enjoyable. I missed the hazelnut! So during my next visit to the grocery store, I picked up some hazelnut coffee. On that trip, I picked up a bag of Dunkin’ Donuts hazelnut and you can read that review here. To sum, it was OK, but I enjoyed the way I used to have my coffee, better. A classic roast + hazelnut coffee creamer is better than the Dunkin’ Donuts version of a hazelnut coffee doctored with some simple, heavy cream. It left me wondering if there wasn’t something better out there in a hazelnut grind. Would such a coffee be Bachelor on the Cheap wallet friendly, or will I have to settle for something less-than-stellar, something just not as good as how I used to enjoy my cup of Joe?
