Brooklyn Bean Roastery’s Hazelnut Decaf Coffee Pods have a reputation for quality, particularly among fans of flavored, medium-to-light roast decaf coffees. As part of the Two Rivers Coffee family, they focus on artisanal, small-batch style roasting despite being a widely accessible single-serve brand.
The hazelnut profile leans toward a warm, buttery, and authentic toasted nut flavor without the heavy, cloying, syrupy sweetness found in some artificial flavorings. It has a remarkably smooth finish. One of the biggest complaints about decaf coffees in general is that they can taste chemically processed, thin, or excessively bitter. Brooklyn Bean manages to maintain a smooth, classic coffee taste that handles the decaffeination process well. The blend utilizes premium, sustainably sourced 100% Arabica beans, which naturally give the coffee a cleaner, more refined taste compared to cheaper Robusta blends.
