What is the Number 1 Coffee in the World?

When picking up a coffee brand people like, they generally consider three things: taste, price and the last one which actually affects our choice the most as a consumer, is how popular the brand is.

Speaking of popularity, people often find themselves asking “which is the best coffee brand in the world?” This is largely an open-ended question as there are many brands around the world which are hailed as the “best coffee brand ever” for different reasons. Some brands, for instance, don’t have the most ethical business practices, but thanks to clever marketing, they tend to be the most popular ones.

Other brands may not have the marketing guns and ammo, but have beyond exceptional product quality and follow ethical business practices to win coffee lovers’ hearts and minds.

Therefore, we’re going to take a completely unbiased stance here and say that there’s not one but several fantastic coffee brands around the world that deserve the “world’s best coffee” crown. These include:

Costa Coffee

Costa Coffee is among the most major coffee chains in the UK today. The coffees are medium roasted, giving them sweet, smooth and nutty characteristics. After all, with around 18,000 branches across the world, it’s got to be among the best brands out there.

Nescafe

It’s rare not to hear the words “coffee” and “Nescafe” in the same sentence. However, the brand isn’t considered among the best or most popular in the world due to its less-than-stellar instant coffee but rather some very clever marketing tactics. It’s available in every corner of the world and its host company, Nestle, has a lot to do with the brand’s popularity.

Folger’s

Folger’s is easily among the most iconic brands in the US ever. Their ground coffee is loved across the nation and beyond. Even though the taste is not considered extraordinary, if brewed properly, it makes for a great cup of coffee at a rather modest price.

Honourable Mentions

“Number one coffee brand in the world” can mean many things in different parts of the world and, therefore, it wouldn’t be fair to discuss coffee brand popularity without mentioning Dunkin Donuts, McCafe and Starbucks.
