What is specialty coffee?

Specialty coffee is coffee of the highest quality, judged by taste, origin, processing and roasting. To be officially recognized as a 'specialty', the coffee must score at least 80 out of 100 points on the quality standard of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).

This means: no defective beans, optimum ripeness at harvest, careful processing and a roast that brings out the unique flavour notes of the bean. You can taste the difference in the cup: more complex, clearer, with notes of red fruit, citrus, chocolate or flowers.

Why the right coffee beans make all the difference

Coffee beans are the heart of your cup of coffee. The quality of the bean determines the aroma, body, balance and flavour profile. But also the freshness, the roast and even how you brew your coffee play a big role.

At Koffie Kenner we only choose top quality specialty coffee beans. Freshly roasted in the Netherlands, from sustainable, traceable sources, and always with an eye for the farmer and the taste. This way you can taste the origin, the variety and the craftsmanship in every cup.

What types of coffee beans are there?

Every coffee bean has its own character. The roasting plays a major role in this, because it determines which flavour notes emerge. We list the most popular roast levels for you:

Lightly roasted coffee beans

Lightly roasted coffee beansare a favorite among lovers of pure, transparent flavor. They retain many of their natural aromas, such as citrus, flowers and berries. Perfect for filter coffee or slow coffee methods such as V60, Chemex or AeroPress.

Medium roast coffee beans

Are you looking for balance?Medium roast coffee beansoffer the best of both worlds. The roast is slightly darker, allowing sweeter notes such as chocolate, nuts and caramel to emerge, but without losing complexity. Suitable for both espresso and filter.

Dark roast coffee beans

Dark roasted coffee beanshave a full, deep flavor with little acidity. You taste roasted nuts, dark chocolate and sometimes a light smokiness. Perfect for espressos, cappuccinos and anyone who loves strong coffee.

The right bean for every brewing method

Not every coffee bean is suitable for every brewing method. For example, you need a different roast for filter coffee than for espresso. Fortunately, at Koffie Kenner we have the knowledge and the assortment to help you choose precisely.

Do you use a Wilfa filter coffee machine? Then choose light to medium roast beans. Do you work with a Lelit espresso machine or Eureka coffee grinder? Then medium to dark roast beans are ideal. And with a hand grinder from Timemore you get the most out of your single origin filter coffee.

Our tip: experiment! You'll be amazed at how much difference in taste you can discover with the right combination of beans, grind setting and brewing method.

At Koffie Kenner you don't just buy coffee beans. You buy fresh, honest coffee from the best Dutch roasteries, carefully selected by our team of coffee experts.

We roast in small batches, pack immediately after roasting and ensure fast shipping. Order before 5pm today? Then your bag of fresh coffee will be on your doorstep tomorrow.
