The French, Austrians and Italians have an eternal dispute about which of them gave latte to coffee lovers. In the homeland of the latter, by the way, he is completely unpopular at the same time. In the meantime, this coffee-historical struggle is going on, in which the Americans who popularized the drink are actually leading, let's figure out which bean coffee latte lovers should pay attention to.
Are there any special rules and selection criteria? By and large, no. The main rule of any coffee, coffee drinks and dairy products based on it is your pleasure. And it will be presented to you only by high-quality, selected with love and correctly, evenly roasted grains. Then it remains only to choose your favorite monosort or choose a blend. By the way, about the latter, many experts advise using a mixture of Arabica and Robusta for latte. Be sure to consider this option in the rating.But in general, we will focus on those who have already made their selection and are ready to advise some interesting and affordable options. That is, everything is as usual - the opinion of experts and numerous consumers who are not too lazy to leave their reviews, with topping from the author's tediousness.
Top 5. Melitta Bella Crema La Crema
For connoisseurs of good roasting and delicate taste without excessive bitterness.
- Average price: 1,850 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Germany
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast degree: medium
A coffee recommended by many latte and cappuccino lovers. The taste is quite soft and well balanced, soft creamy. This is probably why the manufacturer positions this particular product as ideal for desserts. There is no bitterness and that same coffee sourness that most connoisseurs of coffee and milk drinks do not like. Roasting is uniform, the only thing that some buyers note is that periodically they come across batches where it is closer to dark than to medium. There are practically no other claims or frankly negative reviews, so Melitta is included in the list of bean coffee recommended for latte.
- Nice creamy taste
- Great price
- More common on online sites than in brick-and-mortar stores
Top 4. Paulig Presidentti Black Label
A representative of a brand beloved by Russians, revealing the taste of chocolate in combination with milk.
- Average price: 560 rubles / 250 g
- Country of origin: Finland
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast: dark (4/5)
Without Paulig (in the common people, simply Pavlik), perhaps, not a single coffee rating can do. The comrade is popular and proven, including by many baristas, so he is rightfully included in our top five. It is interesting that the taste of Presidentti Black Label, according to coffee experts, is revealed more and richer in milk drinks, where chocolate and subtle notes of roasted hazelnuts are clearly felt. I'm sure cappuccino lovers will like it too. The acidity is low, the bitterness is light and does not irritate those who do not like it, although it is declared by the manufacturer - 4/5. Pure espresso connoisseurs would not recommend Presidentti Black Label, as it can hardly be called a balanced taste, but fans of “coffee milk” should try it.
- Proven coffee bean quality
- Without pronounced bitterness
- Packed only in 250-gram packs
Top 3. Lavazza Super Crema
A good balance of Arabica and Robusta, where the latter is very out of place.
- Average price: 2,200 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Italy
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast: medium
A well-known Italian manufacturer with a wide range of blends, including those for lovers of milk and coffee drinks. Super Crema in beans is not as common on the shelves of ordinary stores as its other counterparts, but you can find it in online hypermarkets. When purchasing, do not be too lazy to check the QR: Lavazza is often faked, which, by the way, is also an indicator of popularity. Medium-roasting a mixture of washed Arabica and wet processed Robusta, the ratio of which is 6 to 4.The case when non-lovers of Robusta can change their habits by trying this blend in latte. That's the beauty of milk-coffee drinks - coffee in them can be revealed differently than in espresso. The main flavor profile is roasted peanuts with hazelnuts flavored with dark chocolate. There is a light fruity aroma, however, in latte it is less noticeable than in espresso.
- Pleasant taste and delicate bitterness
- Good blend of Arabica and Robusta
- Rarely found on sale than other types of Lavazza
Top 2. Jardin Bravo Brazil
Arabica from Brazil, captivating taste, price, and scored the maximum number of responses.
- Average price: 1,600 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Russia
- Ingredients: Arabica
- Roast level: dark
In addition to the number of user reviews, we will give credit to Jardin - experts also praise him, this option also captivates with the price. The most budget representative in the ranking. What are we offered? Brazilian Arabica coffee is a dark, very dark roast that may not be to the taste of all espresso lovers, but will be in place in milky coffee drinks. Probably not an option for the most sophisticated coffee lovers who are used to feeling every note in a drink, but for most ordinary coffee lovers. Dark chocolate and almonds stand out from the descriptors, and the coffee itself is not overpowered by milk. The reviews also write about other subtle flavors - caramel and butter cream. We can call Bravo Brazilia an interesting specimen, which reveals itself well in a latte.
- Good for dairy drinks
- Acceptable price
- Not the most versatile
Top 1. Tasty Coffee Ethiopia Irgacheff Nath
Ethiopia Irgacheff for latte from popular Russian coffee roasters.
- Average price: 1,900 rubles/kg
- Country of origin: Russia
- Ingredients: Arabica - Ethiopia Irgachef region
- Roast level: espresso
“Oh, how many wonderful discoveries Tasty Irgacheff is preparing for us,” Pushkin could write if instead of going to duels he drank coffee. Pay attention to the price, now mass coffee is sold for the same money. And everything would be fine, but fresh roasting always wins, so Tasty gets into the rating. It is convenient that now coffee from popular roasters can be purchased not only in specialized stores, but also on the official website of the company or from large online retailers. It will appeal to both lovers of the monosort, revering espresso, and "milk" coffee lovers. Light delicate sourness, floral and chocolate tones on the palate, collected in a bouquet of beans from one of the most famous coffee regions in Ethiopia. Definitely worth taking note.

- Lots of positive feedback
- Always fresh roasted
- Coffee 4 grade (minus for snobs)
