Rating of the TOP-10 brands of the best coffee beans
Paulig
One of the most popular Arabica brands on the domestic market. Coffee beans are grown in South America, the product undergoes a certification procedure. High-quality packaging made of foil materials does not allow the aroma to evaporate for the entire one and a half years (this is the permissible shelf life). A special aroma valve allows you to evaluate the smell before buying without tearing the package. The degree of roasting is medium, but the drink is quite strong. The beans are ground without problems. Among the advantages, we can note a rich aftertaste, an enveloping and rich aroma with subtle nutty notes. Packing of 250, 500 and 1000 g. Suitable for both a Turk and a coffee machine.
Tasty coffee
Freshly roasted beans of the highest quality for true connoisseurs of good taste. The manufacturer has been roasting coffee for 14 years, and today Tasty coffee is one of the most modern, technologically advanced and largest roasting plants in Russia. The company orders coffee beans from all over the world. There are both single varieties and blends on sale – the range is wide. Detailed information is indicated on each pack. Roasting is done before sending to the buyer. These products are not available in stores – only on marketplaces and in coffee shops.
Lavazza
This famous Italian brand has only recently appeared on the Russian mass market: previously, for many years, it worked exclusively with legal entities. The raw materials are purchased in Africa and Central America, roasted manually and evenly, and packed in vacuum packages with a special hermetic valve. About a dozen varieties of beans are supplied to Russia, some of which can only be purchased in online stores. The roast is dark, almost on the verge of over-burnt – an acquired taste. The aftertaste is long. Beginners can be advised to start with ORO or Crema & Aroma. It should be noted that the number of complaints about quality has recently increased.
Egoist
The raw materials are obtained from Kenyan and South American plantations, roasting is done in Germany. The beans are packaged in thick foil bags, which preserve the freshness of the product well. Egoiste is highly rated by the most demanding coffee lovers, despite the modest assortment: Truffle is suitable for those who like to brew coffee in a Turk and drink it with milk, Noir and Espresso are closer to the classics. The aftertaste is persistent, light notes of chocolate are felt on the tongue. There are no single-variety varieties in the line. The price tag is above the market average.
Illy
A coffee brand from Italy, which, unfortunately, can rarely be found in regular supermarkets, so get ready to order the products of this famous European roaster online. Fans of strong coffee will like Intenso, connoisseurs of lighter tastes will like Classico. There are also single-sort varieties on sale, collected on plantations in Guatemala, Ethiopia and Brazil. The quality of the beans is stable, the roasting times are not violated. The products are packed in tin cans. A red flag with a brand sign indicates that this establishment serves Illy coffee. The price tag is above average, it is slightly more bitter than it should be.
Bushido
Bushido is not only the samurai code, but also coffee beans, and this is not a Japanese, but a Dutch brand. The product is worthy and diverse, which is suitable for both a Turk and a coffee machine. For original floral notes, you should turn to Specialty from the highland Ethiopian region of Irgacheffe (craft roasters are their regular customers). If the budget is more modest and the taste is more unpretentious, pay attention to the blends “Katana” and “Sensei”.
All the grain of the brand is washed, i.e. there is no fermented aftertaste. The profile is described in detail on the packaging: country, taste nuances. Due to the blending of grain and medium roasting, a balance between acidity and bitterness is achieved. Packaging with a zip lock and a degassing valve. Disadvantage: judging by the reviews, it is not suitable for alternative brewing methods.
