Nutella coffee in London

2 speciality roasts from 2 London roasters feature nutella notes.

Nutella in the cup signals a combination of roasted hazelnut and milk chocolate sweetness, often with a faintly creamy, fatty richness that binds the two together. It differs from a straightforward chocolate note by carrying that distinctive toasted nuttiness alongside the cocoa, giving the coffee a warmer, more indulgent character. This profile tends to emerge from medium to medium-dark roasts, where Maillard reactions develop both nut and chocolate compounds, and is often supported by natural processing, which preserves sugars that add body and sweetness.

Rich, creamy hazelnut chocolate that melts into the cup with a warmth that's instantly recognisable, Nutella as a flavour note appears in just two London roasts, each crafted by a different roaster. The coffees carrying this note tend to originate from Honduras and Mexico, typically processed using the washed method, which strips away the fruit layer to let the bean's natural sweetness shine through with clarity. Dark Arts Coffee and Kiss the Hippo are the roasters currently expressing this indulgent note.

How nutella notes develop

Coffees from Brazil are typically strong candidates for this note, particularly those from the Cerrado and Sul de Minas regions, where lower acidity and naturally high sugar content in the bean lend themselves to hazelnut and chocolate combinations. Ethiopian naturals and some Indonesian coffees can also produce a similar character, though their Nutella-like quality often sits alongside fruitier or earthier undertones. Natural and pulped natural processing methods are the most consistent route to this profile, as they allow the cherry's sugars to influence the developing bean during drying.

What to look for

On a bag or menu, look for tasting notes that combine hazelnut or roasted nut descriptors with milk chocolate, cocoa, or caramel, as this pairing is a reliable indicator of a Nutella-like cup. Medium roast levels are worth seeking out, since lighter roasts may not develop the necessary nut and chocolate depth, while darker roasts risk pushing the profile towards bitterness. Brew methods that produce a fuller body, such as French press, Moka pot, or espresso, tend to highlight this note well, as they preserve the oils and texture that carry the creamy richness central to the character.
