Take about 2 tbs. of pure hazelnut extract and add it to 1 cup of ground
coffee (or to taste), stir will, and let sit for several days, in a
airtight container, stirring occasionally. Then use the coffee to brew
a pot.

I have not tried using the extract on unground beans but i mean to do
so, let the beans soak in the extract, then let them dry out a bit and
then grind?

Adding the extract to a cup of coffee is not very good. The flavours
don't 'marry' and the extract does not incorporate itself into the
coffee.

There is a commercial hazelnut flavoured cream for coffee but it has so
many other undesirable ingredients that, though it tastes pretty good, i
hesitate to use it.
