About This Flavor

Hartford Coffee’s Irish Cream is a timeless classic in our flavored coffee lineup — an indulgent, dessert-like coffee that captures the essence of the world-famous Irish cream liqueur. Inspired by the velvety, whisky-and-cream character of the original, our version delivers all the warmth and richness without a drop of alcohol. A smooth medium-dark base provides the perfect canvas for the natural flavor oils that bring out the vanilla, cream, and subtle whisky warmth that defines this beloved profile. Whether it’s a morning indulgence or an after-dinner treat, Irish Cream is the flavored coffee that feels genuinely luxurious.

Blend & Flavoring Details

• Base Coffee: Premium Central American arabica blend
• Roast Level: Medium-Dark / Full City — creamy body, low bitterness
• Flavoring: Natural and artificial Irish cream flavor oils applied post-roast
• Flavor Profile: Vanilla, milk chocolate, cream, subtle whisky warmth
• Caffeine: Standard caffeinated (alcohol-free)

Hartford’s flavored coffees are built on our signature air-roasted base — a process that creates a cleaner, sweeter foundation than drum-roasted coffees, ensuring the flavoring oils enhance rather than mask the coffee’s natural character.

Brewing Recommendations

Irish Cream’s rich, creamy flavor profile is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with milk-based preparations.

Drip / Automatic Brewer — Most Recommended
Medium grind | 1:15 ratio | 195–205°F. The definitive way to enjoy Irish Cream. The flavors bloom beautifully in the hot brew — the aroma alone is worth it. Exceptional with a splash of half-and-half or a dollop of whipped cream.

French Press
Coarse grind | 1:12 ratio | 4-minute steep. A full-bodied, indulgent cup that amplifies the cream and chocolate notes. Perfect for a leisurely weekend morning.

Iced Irish Cream Latte
Brew double-strength over ice, add cold milk or cream. This is one of the most crowd-pleasing iced coffee drinks you can make at home — rich, sweet, and refreshing.

After-Dinner Coffee
Brew a regular cup and serve with a cinnamon stick and fresh whipped cream on top. The Irish Cream aroma makes a perfect post-dinner ritual or entertaining centerpiece.
