Your New Favourite Flavoured Instant Coffee Is Here

We all love the ritual of a café coffee—the aroma, the froth, the indulgence. But we don’t always love the queue, the price tag, or the wait.

Enter The Dark Roast Company’s Irish Cream & Roasted Hazelnut Freeze-Dried Instant Coffee.

This isn’t just “instant coffee.” It is a carefully crafted blend designed to bridge the gap between convenience and gourmet quality. By combining the buttery richness of Irish Cream with the toasty warmth of Roasted Hazelnut, we’ve created a cup that feels like a hug in a mug—ready in just seconds.

What Makes This Freeze-Dried Blend Special?

Most supermarket instant coffees are “spray-dried” (heated at high temperatures), which cooks away the delicate flavor oils, leaving you with that bitter, dusty taste.

We do it differently. We use Freeze-Drying Technology.

1. The Freeze-Dried Advantage

Freeze-drying is a gentle process where coffee extract is frozen and the water is removed via sublimation (vacuum), without using high heat.

Aroma Preservation: It locks in the volatile aromatic oils that usually vanish during heat processing.
Smoother Taste: The result is a crystal-like granule that dissolves instantly without the harsh acidity or burnt aftertaste of traditional instant coffee.
Rich Mouthfeel: It delivers a fuller body that mimics fresh-brewed coffee.

2. Irish Cream: Smooth, Buttery, Luxurious

Our Irish Cream profile brings a velvety texture and a whisper of vanilla and sweet cream to your cup. It provides that classic liqueur-like indulgence without the alcohol, making it a perfect morning treat or midday escape.

3. Roasted Hazelnut: Nutty & Comforting

Hazelnut is the perfect partner to coffee. The roasted notes amplify the coffee’s natural depth, adding:

A fragrant, toasty aroma that fills the room.
A nutty sweetness that balances the coffee’s strength.
A lingering, smooth finish.

How to Make It (Perfectly) in 10 Seconds

Simplicity is key. You don’t need a machine, a grinder, or a filter.

Scoop: Add 1–2 teaspoons of our Irish Cream & Roasted Hazelnut granules to your mug.
Pour: Add 150–180 ml of hot milk (or hot water for a black coffee).
Stir: Watch the golden granules dissolve instantly.

Pro Tip: You likely won’t need added sugar. The natural sweetness of the Irish Cream and Hazelnut notes often provides enough flavor balance on its own.
