Specialty Kaffebønner

Specialty coffee beans are for you if you want to taste where your coffee comes from, and why it tastes the way it does. These are beans that typically score 80+ points on the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) scale and are selected for their quality, cleanliness and distinct tasting notes. In short: more character in the cup and a better coffee experience than supermarket coffee.

What are specialty coffee beans?

Specialty coffee beans are high-quality coffee where growing, harvesting and processing are all done properly. That means fewer defects, more transparency and a cup with clear notes, for example fruity, floral, nutty or chocolatey nuances. When the green beans are good, the roast highlights the best in them instead of hiding flaws.

How do you choose specialty coffee beans?

When choosing specialty coffee beans, it makes sense to start with flavour profile and origin. Do you prefer fresh, fruity coffee, or something more classic and chocolatey? Also check the processing (washed, natural and so on), as it has a big impact on flavour. My best tip: choose small bags or try several different ones, and you will quickly find your go-to coffee.

Why invest in specialty coffee beans?

Yes, specialty coffee beans can cost a little more, but you are paying for quality, craftsmanship and a noticeably better cup. The flavour is often more complex and balanced, and you typically end up enjoying the coffee as it is, because it tastes great without lots of milk and sugar. It is a small everyday upgrade you can really taste.
