10. French Roast
Our French Roast coffee is a well roasted blend that has a bittersweet flavor profile. French roast means the beans are roasted to a dark brown color, and the natural, acidic flavors of the bean are diluted to create an espresso-like taste. A dark roast for those who love the natural taste of coffee, it's no surprise this is our tenth most popular blend.
9. Breakfast Blend
The J.L. Hufford Breakfast Blend is comprised of flavors meant to complement your morning meal. It goes perfect with cinnamon toast, a strawberry muffin, pancakes, glazed donut, or even a simple banana. This blend is perfectly roasted to bring out the rich flavors, and is our ninth most popular blend.
8. Hazelnut
Our hazelnut blend of coffee is a delicious, darker roast with bold flavors. This blend is perfect for any morning and even an afternoon pick-me-up. It pairs perfectly with Nutella toast, or with a nice lunch. It's blended just right to bring out the flavorful undertones, and it's no surprise that this comes in our eighth most popular spot.
7. Colombian Popayán
This blend of coffee takes the rich, tropical flavors of Colombia and infuses it into our classic blend. Colombia, where eternal spring takes place, is the perfect climate for the best coffee beans.

Aromatic, flavorful, and full-bodied - this blend is the only one special enough to be given our “house” name. This is the blend you find in our coffee shop located in Lafayette, Indiana. It's the blend that started it all, and is the reason why our flavors have spread far and wide. It's no surprise this is in our top five.
3. Italian Espresso
One of our verified buyers, Alexander S. from Georgia, who considers himself to be a "coffee connoisseur" says about this blend, "In all my trials, this blend by J.L. Hufford has become my benchmark. It has sweetness but it also has the power to punch through milk. It is two tiered, providing the warm chocolate notes as well as the bracing dark roast notes. It satisfies consistently. A fine and artful creation." Our Italian Espresso blend is true to the classic. Not too sweet like many Italian espresso blends these days, this one is perfect for coffee aficionados.

. . .
At J.L. Hufford, our coffee buyers have traveled to many coffee producing countries to find and inspect some of the world's greatest coffees. To us, all aspects of buying and processing coffee are important, like adherence to rigid quality control standards. Multiple tests are conducted on the coffee samples once they are brought back to the states. Using state-of-the-art lab equipment and trained coffee cuppers, our roasters analyze many aspects of the beans: moisture percentage, the number of defects, the bean size, and most importantly, the actual cup quality. Each flavored coffee bean is rated on over 20 different taste characteristics before we purchase a single bean. Immediately after roasting the bean, the gourmet coffee bean is packaged into nitrogen-flushed bags. This process forces nitrogen into the package, replacing the oxygen, that would otherwise quickly age the coffee. The nitrogen preserves the wonderful flavor characteristics of fresh-roasted coffee. For gourmet flavored coffee beans, flavor oils are added in a cup-tested proportion such that just the right amount of each flavor is infused into the bean during the appropriate minutes of roasting.
