What is the best coffee beans?

Insight and answers to some of the age old questions that affect our perfect cup of coffee.

Coffee is a fascinating drink.  It has a rich history that’s rooted in mysterious origins and countless legends attempting to explain where it comes from.  Even the origin of the word ‘coffee’ is still debated by scholars to this day, with a handful of substantial theories on the subject.  Despite having so many unknowns, coffee has become a universal thing.  Every culture that has encountered coffee has created its own version, from the French classic ‘café au lait’ (coffee with milk) to dalgona coffee, a whipped drink from South Korea that rose in popularity due to DIY videos circulating on social media that people used to stave off boredom during the early months quarantine of 2020.

 

But with so many different variations of the drink, so many different methods for creating it, and so many different creamers and other additives to go with it, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes coffee so great in the first place- the beans. 

What is the best coffee beans to buy?

This is an age old question that becomes increasingly difficult to answer as more and more brands enter the market.  Especially with everyone’s tastes varying as widely as they do.  But Lifeboost Organic coffee has consistently come out on top as the best coffee beans out there.  They’re kosher, single-origin, fair trade, pesticide-free, shade-grown, naturally dried, non-GMO, and only the biggest and best beans are picked.  The brand is also very good at being mindful of FDA standards for mold and mycotoxin levels.  Lifeboost Organic is also very low in acid, making it easy on the stomach so anyone can enjoy it.

 

Some may be turned off by the fact that there is no variety of origin, but because their beans all come from Nicaragua there’s no need for variety.  Central America is home to some of the most robust and flavorful coffee beans and Lifeboost Organic is no exception.  Rather, they set the standard.  .

What is the best tasting coffee brand?

Stumptown Coffee, for the longest time, was very hard to come by.  Aside from being for sale on Amazon it’s not very widely available in stores in the United States.  They themselves only have a few locations in Portland (its city of origin), Seattle, New York City, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

 

But that rarity has made them all the more worth pursuing.  They are known for integrity in both business and brewing practices.  They go straight to the source in order to obtain the best coffee beans, rather than bulk ordering from a variety of locations.  Their negotiating team is able to get their hands on the best out there with insight from the experts who know how to make the highest quality coffee beans. 

What is the smoothest coffee?

Founded in 1895 by Luigi Lavazza, a modest grocer in Turin, Lavazza is now one of the most well-known and highly praised brands of Italian coffee.  Lavazza is entirely organic, made without GMOs, and made without pesticides.  Originating in Italy, home of some of the best techniques for brewing and mixing coffee drinks, Lavazza is available in both whole bean and coffee ground form so it can be enjoyed through any brewing method.  Not only is Lavazza dark, strong, smooth, it’s also one of the smoothest on the planet, especially their Super Crema whole bean and Crema e Gusto ground coffee.  It’s an ideal brand for anyone who prefers to drink a traditional espresso but they work just as well for Americanos, lattes, and cappuccinos.

Is it cheaper to buy coffee beans or ground?

Judging strictly by the price tag, ground coffee is much cheaper.  But the price tag says little to nothing about shelf life, product quality, and how many servings you can get out of your purchase.  Technically speaking, ground coffee is already stale by the time it hits the shelves.  Peak freshness is one-two weeks after being roasted.  Not to mention most of the flavor disappears in under an hour after being ground.  Whole bean coffee on the other hand maintains freshness much longer.  Coffee grounds themselves are so small that it takes little to no time for oxygen to soak in and start breaking them down.  Sometimes the bitterness is intended, other times it’s the harsh flavor of decay.
