The best hazelnut coffee, is the number one flavor category within flavored coffee is based on the nut flavor profile. The number two selling coffee flavor is hazelnut. The question becomes, "Does flavored coffee pose a health risk to nut allergy sufferers?" This question comes up monthly, and has for the past 20 years. Most all hazelnut coffee flavors utilize natural and artificial pure aroma chemicals to derive the flavor characteristics. These pure aroma chemicals are not based on nut extracts and do not contain the allergens found in nuts. Allergy concerns with flavors are more likely to occur with all-natural and/or organic flavors, if extractives from the named source material (i.e. hazelnuts) are used in the formulation thus increasing the opportunity for allergic response. With that point in mind, the coffee industry may be fortunate that less than 1% of flavored hazelnut coffee sold uses these types of flavors.
The beauty of using flavors formulated with no allergens is that you won't need to hang a warning sign on the coffee pot A coffee pot is a kitchen implement; a cooking pot in the kettle family. A coffee pot is also a container to hold freshly brewed coffee. There are many types and styles. The next time you brew hazelnut coffee.
