The article is unlikely to be of interest to aesthetes-connoisseurs of a noble drink, especially those who prefer to make their own blends and roast coffee. Rather, it is written for those coffee lovers who like to discover new varieties and blends without deep immersion in the topic, preferring to trust the experience of well-known manufacturers (and us). You should not focus on the numbers in the rating, since it is calculated based on consumer reviews. Of course, we took them into account, but first of all, we still trusted the opinion of experts in this field: professional baristas and roasters.Therefore, the entire final selection deserves attention: here are not only coffee bean producers, which are represented in most stores, but also several well-known brands in narrow circles, ready to offer the perfect two-three-week roast beans. This kind of freshness is a rarity for mass-packed coffee beans, so keep in mind that if you're lucky enough to see a pack of coffee beans in the store less than a month old from the date of roasting, you're lucky. Grab it immediately and run to taste it. And one more nuance of the sample - the main part of its representatives is suitable for a large group of espresso connoisseurs.
Top 10. Paulig Arabica
The optimal ratio of quality and price brought this variety incredible popularity and the maximum number of responses.
- Average price: 1,600 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Finland
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast: medium (3/5)
"People's" coffee in the ranking. It captivates with the price, although objectively speaking, this is the average normal price for Brazilian Arabica. It does not have such a balanced taste as many other heroes of the review, but this is already subjective. Experts complain that our store-bought Paulig has gone bad since the plant appeared in Russia, but you can drink it - the roasting most often corresponds to the one indicated on the pack, and the declared aromatics of roasted nuts and citrus-chocolate notes are felt in the taste. Acidity - 4 out of 5, not everyone will like it. Fans of darker roasts and pronounced bitterness should look towards Paulig Arabica Dark, which is also quite a budget option.
- Good quality
- Lots of reviews
- Strange variation in prices in different stores
Top 9. Julius Meinl Zumtobel
For those who are ready to give up caffeine, but not coffee.
- Average price: 1,200 rubles / 500 g
- Country of origin: Austria
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast: medium
Decaf in Russia is not yet as popular as in other countries, but it would be wrong not to include it in the rating. Moreover, in the domestic market, you can find options for decent decaffeinated coffee from well-known manufacturers. Julius Meinl Zumtobel is just one of these representatives. A blend of high-altitude South American Arabica coffee varieties, steamed (vaporization method) to reduce the amount of caffeine to 0.08%. Taste qualities are maximally preserved, there is a pleasant rich aroma, light sourness with chocolate-nut notes and a velvety aftertaste. Well revealed in espresso and ristretto.
- Pleasant aroma
- Valve bag
- Packing only 500 g
Top 8. Pelican Rouge Distinto
The best bean coffee for lovers of high Robusta content in blends.
- Average price: 1,500 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Netherlands
- Ingredients: Robusta, Arabica
- Roast: medium
In the 19th century, the Belgian company Pelican Rouge was known throughout Europe. Now the brand is part of Selecta, and production has been moved to Holland. These perturbations did not affect the popularity of the Pelican Rouge brand, which still remains one of the leaders in the European market. Now about Distinto.There are not so many connoisseurs of Robusta, which is 70% in this blend, because of its lower aromatic properties compared to Arabica and its specific sourness. But a competent combination of varieties and the right balance can surprise. The taste surprise of Distinto is in its nutty-bitter-chocolate shades and pleasant almond aroma. Many may miss the usual sourness, but you will definitely note the rich rich taste.
- Balanced blend
- Affordable price
- Lovers of sourness will not appreciate
Top 7. Jardin Colombia Supremo
Coffee from a Russian manufacturer that sets records for the number of reviews among domestic varieties.
- Average price: 2,140 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Russia
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast: medium and dark
The leader of reviews, but in some respects inferior to other brands from the rating. An amazing fact, but the manufacturer of Jardin and Jockey, popular in Russia, is the same company. However, the latter was not included in the selection, because he experiments with roasting too often and is far from always successful. I am glad that at least regarding the Jardin Colombia Supremo, the opinions of ordinary consumers and experts are similar. Colombian arabica coffee, dark or medium, fairly evenly roasted, with a pleasant rich aroma and a subtle hint of chocolate. It's nice that there is a choice - the manufacturer took care of the tastes of different coffee lovers by releasing two versions of Colombia Supremo on the market with different degrees of bean roasting.
- Several roasting options
- Available in many stores
- High price
Top 6. Dallmayr Crema d'Oro
A blend of selected Arabica coffee for lovers of espresso and cream from a well-known European brand.
- Average price: 2,750 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Germany
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast: medium (3/5)
A well-known German brand that can boast of being the official supplier of the royal court. The Dallmayr Crema d’Oro Arabica blend will appeal to both fans of cream coffee with a high dense foam, and lovers of milk drinks - cappuccino and latte. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not indicate the regions where the coffee beans for Crema d'Oro were grown, but some sources write about Ethiopia and Guatemala. If there can be doubts about the second part, then there can be no doubt about the Ethiopian part of the blend - it is with the farmers of Ethiopia that the company's main contracts are concluded. The drink has a mild taste, light caramel aroma and a hint of chocolate.
- Great blend of Arabica
- Versatility and creams
- Lack of accurate information about the regions of supply
Top 5. Egoiste Espresso
A blend of washed, selected Arabica coffees, Viennese roast, which opens up both in espresso and with a little milk.
- Average price: 2,200 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Germany
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast: dark
Grains from Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea, dark uniform roasting, rich taste and delicate aroma of ripe nuts are best revealed in espresso. Light pleasant sourness, which will appeal to lovers of not pronounced acidity aftertaste.The manufacturer himself notes the taste as orange zest in dark chocolate, but, unfortunately, not all lovers of the noble drink confirm it. The blend can be called universal for coffee machines; both espresso fans and lovers of adding a little milk to coffee will almost certainly appreciate it. But connoisseurs of more milky drinks - latte and cappuccino - it is better to look at other options.
- Versatility and selected Arabica
- Affordable price
- Not the brightest taste
Top 4. Bushido Specialty Coffee
The best choice for connoisseurs of single varieties is this Arabica Ethiopia Irgacheff.
- Average price: 700 rubles / 227 g
- Country of origin: Netherlands
- Ingredients: Arabica - Ethiopia Irgachef region
- Roast: medium
Worthy of the first place, but the national rating is inexorable. Like the German marketers who gave the Russian Coffee House HORSE the name Bushido and an unusual Japanese style for the new brand, explaining their idea with the love of Russians for everything incomprehensibly exotic. Bushido is highly praised by even the pickiest coffee connoisseurs. Irgacheff has an interesting flavor profile: bright, sweetish-floral, with hints of vanilla, apricot, jasmine and delicate sourness from lemongrass. A very multi-faceted taste that will perfectly reveal itself in espresso and will surely impress those who have not yet tried this highest growing Ethiopian premium variety.
- Monosort
- Shop specialty coffee
- One packaging option (227 g)
Top 3. Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema
A blend of Arabica and Robusta, which is produced by a manufacturer proven over the years.
- Average price: 2,400 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Italy
- Ingredients: Arabica, Robusta
- Roast: medium
For connoisseurs of dark roast, a strong espresso blend with a strong cream. When buying, keep in mind that the roast at Lavazza is usually one more than the declared one, or even more correctly, the usual one, this is a typical Italian tradition. A blend of Brazilian Arabica and Ugandan Robusta with a fruity-floral aroma. If you like a blend of Arabica and Robusta, but with a lower content of the latter, or prefer "pure" Arabica, consider other brand offers - the choice is huge and the Italians monitor the quality of their products. Recommended for coffee machines, but if you prefer a French press, then you will most likely be satisfied with the result.
- High quality from a trusted brand
- Lots of positive feedback
- There are fakes

Top 1. Tabera Sevilla
For true connoisseurs: fresh roasted from real professionals.
- Average price: 2,130 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Russia
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast: medium
And, finally, we get to fresh roasted coffee, which is almost impossible to catch among packaged coffee. Why Tabera? Because one of the best roasters in Russia, who would rather make himself hara-kiri than sell you bad coffee. At least this is the opinion of both experts and buyers. The choice fell on Seville due to the large number of reviews on large trading floors and a very affordable price. If you want to experiment with flavors, take a stroll through the official website-online store, where you can find both premium single-sort and interesting blends. Seville - a mixture of Ethiopian (Sidamo 4) and Brazilian (Santos) Arabica. A chic and inexpensive option for lovers of espresso balanced throughout - a noticeable fruity-floral sourness, rich chocolate and soft nutty aroma.
- Always freshly roasted coffee
- The perfect combination of price and quality
- Ends fast
