Best Coffee Beans in 2024

That’s Coffee Wins on All Fronts

The new year is here, and what better way to start it off right than with a great-tasting cup of coffee every morning?

It may be the world’s favorite drink, but that doesn’t mean all coffee is created equal. We’ve made a business out of catering to only the most discerning coffee drinkers, and in true fashion, we decided to create a roundup of the best coffee beans for 2024 and beyond. Consider us biased, but there are some pretty magical beans on this list!

But before we get into our roundup of the best coffee beans in 2024, we’re going to go over the difference a gourmet bean can make, where these beans come from, and how you can get the most out of your brew.

Read on to learn all about it and see the list of our top 20 best-selling coffees and the tastiest beans of 2024!

The Gourmet Difference

Gourmet coffee is more than just a name – really! It’s about the fundamental difference that sets beans apart.

Each of our coffees is made by using only the highest quality 100% Arabica beans. These beans are sourced from some of the most coveted coffee-growing regions in the world. Arabica beans grown in mountainous climates take longer to mature but produce a larger, sweeter, and denser coffee bean with less caffeine than the inferior Robusta Bean (that’s your cheap, store-bought instant coffee). Premium coffees are derived from higher-grade beans, making them more complex and flavorful.

While we love sourcing beans with unique characteristics from all over the world, we also like to dabble in a little bit of flavor creation! We create our premium flavored coffees using only the highest quality, natural ingredients, for a next-level tasting experience. Finally, we only roast our coffee beans in small batches for optimal roast consistency.

Together, these quality control factors bring you a premium cup of coffee that’s gourmet down to the smallest detail. It’s a difference you can taste!

Coffee From Around The World

While most of the world’s coffee is grown along the Coffee Belt (near the equator), different regions and processing traditions can give a coffee bean a distinct flavor. Climate conditions such as altitude and soil can give the coffee a unique taste, but it comes down to the processing tradition to determine how that flavor is manifested in the final cup.

We provide a selection of gourmet coffee beans from around the world to satisfy your personal preference – whatever that may be!

How To Brew Gourmet Coffee

For the adventurous at heart, and for those with a little more time in the morning, there are lots of ways to brew your perfect cup of coffee. We’ll quickly touch on a few of the most popular ways to brew gourmet coffee and the pros and cons of each.

Drip Coffee

This is the classic method you probably grew up using. Weekday mornings were rung in by the soft puttering of the coffee maker and the brew time could be set in advance! While this method is affordable, easy, and requires very little effort, the downside can be a compromise in flavor.

PROS:

• Easy to use.
• Good for multiple cups and servings.
• Classic flavor profile.

CONS:

• A little boring.
• A slight loss in flavor.
• Regular cleaning and descaling are more important than people realize.

French Press

The French press method requires a little more technique. While your cup of coffee will be strong and full-bodied, mastering the art of pressing without getting any sediment into your cup can be difficult.

PROS:

• Portable.
• Yields strong coffee with a kick.
• Compatible with larger batches.

CONS:

• Difficult to clean.
• The flavor profile can be less nuanced compared to paper-filtered coffee.
• The technique is tricky and you’ll probably end up with sediment in your cup.

Pour Over Coffee

Not only is the classic glass carafe an aesthetic addition to your kitchen décor, but the pour-over method is also great for bringing out the unique flavors in your brew.

PROS:

• Excellent flavor.
• Fantastic clarity and aftertaste.
• Standard equipment that’s easy to use and clean.

CONS:

• Smaller batches make it difficult if you’re making coffee for more than 2-3 people.
• Not great for those who like to add milk to their coffee.

Moka Pot

The Moka Pot is an old-fashioned method that has withstood the test of time. It can be purchased in many different sizes and works easily on your stovetop. This is the tool to try if you’re curious about making espresso, without shelling out the big bucks on a fancy espresso machine.

PROS:

• Produces strong coffee.
• The brewing method is simple.
• Available in many different sizes.

CONS:

• Lacks the finesse of an espresso machine.
• Cleaning needs to be done religiously to prevent mould and bacteria.

No matter your brewing method of choice, a good cup starts with good coffee beans. So, without further ado, let’s go over the top 20 beans of 2024 and find you your next cup of coffee!
