BEST COFFEE IN THE WORLD (2021 UPDATE) It's the start of a new day, you roll out from under the covers, stagger into the kitchen, and make the cup of the brew that will wake you up and carry you through the morning. Coffee. The world's most popular beverage. The liquid that fuels millions around the globe. Offering caffeine and warmth to early morning risers and late-night workers alike. Whether you enjoy a black cup of coffee (or as we like to say, 'unleaded'), a sugary sweet iced blend that tantalizes the taste buds, or perhaps a cold brew, there's a whole world of coffee and beans just waiting to be ground, brewed and enjoyed. For the best of every roast and style of coffee, here are our top 7 choices for the best coffee in the world. Each one of these coffee beans tells a different story, from harvesting the fruits of the coffee plant, to the roasting process. But First, A Word About Preferences When Evaluating The Best Coffee In The World With the world of coffee as diverse as it is, there's bound to be a broad range of personal preference when it comes to this mighty bean-brewed concoction. Some like their coffee bold and bitter, while others prefer a smooth ride from the first sip to the last drop. Others yet enjoy the tangy acidity of certain beans, or a caffeine load that hits them like a hammer to jumpstart their day. Point is, your preferences may differ from ours (and likely do). We've done our best to select a broad variety of the worlds best coffee that has a wide appeal to the masses, but we're also open to suggestions. If you think we missed something, or have a special blend that you feel deserves a spot on our Worlds Best Coffee list, let us know. We'd love to give it a try 😊 The Best Coffee Beans In The World Did You Know There Are FOUR Types Of Coffee Beans? When seeking out the best coffee in the world, the search starts with the bean. And when it comes to coffee beans, there are four key types of beans responsible for delighting our senses and brightening up our day. Most of us are probably familiar with Arabica and Robusta, so we'll start there. Arabica Beans Arabica beans are among the most cultivated types of coffee beans in the world, and responsible for many of the world's best coffees on our list. Typically grown at higher altitudes and favorable for high shade and heavy rainfall, these delicate beans are full of rich flavor and robust aroma. Robusta Beans The second leading bean in terms of production volume worldwide, Robusta is considered to be a bean of lesser quality. Chances are, if your coffee doesn't say arabica on the label, its Robusta. Staying true to its namesake, this bean has a natural 'robust' aversion to diseases and is a hearty bean that is easier to produce. Grown in hot climates and a broader range of altitudes, these beans are known for having up to double the amount of caffeine than does arabica. This aspect also results in a more bitter (sometimes described as harsh) flavor and hit to the palate. Because of this, those who opt for Robusta usually need to supplement the bean with milk, cream and/or sugar to counteract the harsh flavor. P.S. None of our picks for the worlds' best coffee are of the Robusta variety Liberica A bean that is much more difficult to source, Liberica beans are larger in size, and unlike all other coffee beans, boast an interesting irregular shape. The aroma and flavor of coffee made from these beans is often described as woody, smokey, floral and fruity. Excelsa Recently, this bean has been re-classified as part of the Liberica family. However, the aroma and flavor couldn't be more contrasting to its relative. Both the flavor and aroma tend to be fruitier and tart, offering a unique blend of attributes typically reserved for either dark or light roasts and bringing them together in an interesting and delightful way. How Did We Choose The Best Coffee In The World? Our Search Led Us Through A Literal Ocean Of Delectable Coffees From Around The World...And We Loved Every Minute Of It! From research and reviews, to brewing and consuming what may have been copious amounts of coffee, our team scoured the world for any coffee that was creating 'buzz' (both literally and figuratively). As coffee aficionados ourselves, we know a thing or two about a good bean and a great bean. With that in mind, we put our palates, taste buds and nose to work, figuring out what makes each bean so exceptional and whether or not it should make our list of the best coffees in the world. Without further ado, and in no particular order... Peaberry Medium Roast Whole Bean 100% Kona Coffee If you're looking for an authentic Kona coffee experience with delicate aromas and a luscious, nutty, and smooth flavor, then you should consider Kona peaberry medium roast.

Kopi Luwak - Arabica Coffee Kopi Luwak or civet cat coffee, sometimes crudely referred to as 'cat crap' coffee as a joke, is a highly special coffee because of how it is processed after cultivation. It's essentially a coffee that comes from the poop of the civet cats. Yes, you read that right lol. The Luwak or the civet eats the raw coffee cherries. As it passes through the civet's digestive system it undergoes a natural process that transforms this otherwise only moderately notable Arabica bean into something truly impressive. How impressive?

From celebrities such as Jack Nicolson to Michelin star restaurants, this coffee is one that everyone should experience at least once in their lives.
