What makes coffee beans 'the best'?

When we talk about the best coffee beans, multiple factors play a role. It starts with taste: from fruity, floral notes to deep, chocolatey flavors. These flavors are determined by the origin of the beans and the type (Arabica or Robusta). Additionally, freshness is essential – freshly roasted coffee beans provide a more intense flavor and aroma.

Roasting also plays a role. Some brands opt for a darker roast for an intense, full flavor, while others use a lighter roast to preserve the natural notes of the beans. Finally, personal preference is an important element. What is the 'best' bean for one person might be too strong or too mild for another.

"What a delicious coffee this is! Fell in love instantly! Everything is so balanced. I personally don't like acidity in my coffee but prefer bitterness, but the Madrugador is neither bitter nor sour. Perfectly balanced, nothing too much of one or the other. Coffee as you imagine coffee to be. Spicy espresso, flavorful lungo, and of course it also comes into its own in milk varieties. This is the favorite of many for a reason!" - Kim
