There are hundreds of specialty coffees, and choosing can be difficult. Answer three questions to find out where to start: how do you brew coffee, what do you like to taste, and do you drink it black or with milk?
Question 1: how do you brew coffee?
Do you brew filter coffee, for example with a V60 or AeroPress? Or espresso, with a machine? That determines whether you choose filter or espresso beans. Browse our filter coffees and espresso coffees.
Question 2: what do you like to taste?
- Fruity: a fresh, lively cup. Fruity coffees are often lighter roasted.
- Chocolate and nuts: a smooth, rounded cup. These flavors are often found in medium roasts.

Question 3: black or with milk?
With milk, a bolder coffee often works well, such as a medium or dark roast with chocolate and nut flavors. If you drink it black, anything goes.
Your coffee
| Fruity | Chocolate and nuts | |
|---|---|---|
| Filter | Light-roast filter coffee | Medium-roast filter coffee |
| Espresso | Fruity espresso, lighter roast | Classic espresso, medium to dark |
With milk? Go for something bolder: medium or dark. These are guidelines: taste is personal, and every coffee has its own character.
Browse light roasts, medium roasts, or dark roasts.
