The modern “coffee” market is overcrowded with a huge number of all kinds of offers, differing in a number of factors. For example, by the variety of varieties and the composition of mixtures, their proportions. Such a wide selection constantly encourages you to try something new and not settle on one brand. Which is absolutely justified, because the taste qualities of coffee drinks are “replete” with variety and versatility. Due to the characteristics of each type of coffee bean, the classic taste can be complemented by honey, vanilla and other shades. Sometimes even tobacco or freshly baked bread. Want to experiment? Then we suggest you familiarize yourself with our rating of the best coffee beans. The selection was formed on the basis of two factors - our recommendations and popularity among CoffeeLB customers.
1) Movenpick El Autentico
The list of the best coffee beans opens with El Autentico from the world famous company Movenpick.
The grains of the mixture preserved their original properties as much as possible thanks to unhurried roasting: a soft, rich taste and a distinct aroma - this is how our customers characterize “El Authentico”. There can be no doubt about the high quality of the beans, because they come from official Rainforest Alliance plantations. The delicious mixture is “wrapped” in a gorgeous dark chocolate colored package. Buy Movenpick El Autentico >>>
2) Lavazza Tierra
Thanks to its unusual floral aroma, Tierra deserves a place in our ranking.
In terms of “aroma”, other mixtures from the Lavazza line cannot compete with it. The second feature is a soft taste with a slight sourness and a fruity tint. Consists of high-quality 100% Arabica beans grown in favorable conditions - on plantations controlled by the Rainforest Alliance. These advantages have been repeatedly noted by our clients.

Degree of roasting of beans
Light
Unprocessed grains have an unexpressed taste and a subtle smell. Two degrees of light (light) roasting are common:
- Scandinavian – 205-210°C;
- American – 215-220°C.
Interesting! Coffee ground, instant or in capsules. Differences and nutritional value
During heat treatment, coffee beans retain their acidity and reveal the depth of flavor. The drink is aromatic, but not rich. The aftertaste does not last long.
During processing, the oils remain in the grains. They don't caramelize. Therefore, the drink reveals floral and fruity notes.
Lightly roasted beans are not suitable for a coffee machine. The drink will be very sour.
Average
Medium roast at 225°C. Suitable for any type of coffee. Two types of processing are common: full city roasting (chocolate-colored beans with a slight smoke) and Viennese roasting (beans acquire a dark brown color).
When exposed to high temperatures, essential oils are released from coffee berries. Therefore, medium-roasted beans have a bright, rich aroma. The taste is slightly sweet, fully revealed.
Dark roast
80% of deep roast beans are processed at 240 (French). The remaining 20% is at 245°C (Italian).
The sourness completely disappears from the grains. The result is a rich drink with a bitter aftertaste.
The highest degree of roasting is 250°C (Spanish). The berries become black-brown. Their surface is oily.
The drink is intensely bitter with a long aftertaste.
5) Lavazza Aroma Top
This is the case when the “content” fully lives up to its name.
After all, the aromatic qualities of this “participant” in the list of the best coffee beans are truly amazing - tart with an admixture of notes of chocolate, dried fruits and cereals. Aroma Top grains (environmentally friendly 100% Arabica) “come from” Rainforest Alliance plantations and “Aroma Top” itself is intended for professional equipment, which indicates the highest quality of the mixture. Our clients agree with this. Buy Lavazza Aroma TOP >>>
Adjusting the taste
Coffee machines are equipped with a function for selecting the amount of raw materials and the volume of water.
The more grains, the stronger the brewed drink.
If you add 5 g of raw materials, the coffee will taste sour.
Interesting! Freeze-dried coffee rating: which is better in quality
The taste is regulated by the degree of grinding. Small fractions will make a stronger drink
Beans fully develop their flavor at a temperature of 95 degrees. This parameter can also be adjusted on the coffee machine panel.
Next, let's talk about which brands are in the top and are the best for use in a coffee machine.
6) Movenpick der Himmlische
What does this good coffee bean provide, the reviews of which contain only positive assessments?
This is the sweet taste of 100% Arabica coffee with chocolate notes, perfectly complemented by a rich aroma. For the mixture, exclusively high-quality grains are selected, collected from plantations located in high mountain areas. No less attention is paid to the roasting process. Such strict production control did not lead to an increase in the cost of the product - you can buy it from us at an affordable price. Buy Movenpick der Himmlische >>>

Recommendations for choosing coffee
- The most important thing is the type of coffee.
Popular varieties are Arabica and Robusta. The highest quality and richest drink is obtained from Arabica. But robusta also has its advantages - it adds strength and bitterness. Connoisseurs of exotic species will appreciate grains with chocolate or fruity notes. - The place where coffee grows
also matters and determines the taste of the drink. For example, grains grown in Brazil will have a chocolate-nut flavor, in Kenya - fruity and wine-like notes, in Indonesia - candy sourness and aromatic spices, in Cuba - tart tobacco and chocolate notes. - The next criterion for choosing delicious Turkish coffee is roasting
. This process determines the strength and aroma of the drink. There are light, medium and strong roasts. For connoisseurs of rich flavor and bitterness, the latter option is suitable. And for those who like softness, it is better to choose a low or medium roast. - It is especially important to pay attention to the manufacturer before purchasing Turkish coffee .
Experts advise giving preference to a well-known brand that has a quality certificate and positive reviews from customers. - Additives
also determine the taste of the drink. Now in the store you can find a wide variety of types of coffee with the taste of amaretto, coconut, fruit, nut and more. But most additives are synthetic. Therefore, it is better for connoisseurs of natural products to avoid these types of drinks and add spices to it themselves. - Ground coffee
quickly loses its freshness and taste, which is why it is important to pay attention to the date of its manufacture. It is best to buy beans from places where the product is ground immediately before packaging and sale. It is equally important that the packaging for coffee that can be brewed in a Turk is solid. This will allow you to preserve the unique taste and aroma for a long time.
