Coffee Brands

Many people have a trusted favorite in terms of coffee brands. Some people have several brands that they alternate between. Perhaps you have a favorite morning brew and something else you choose for dessert. Maybe there’s a decaf brand of coffee you make late at night to keep insomnia away. If you are stuck on one particular coffee brand that’s your favorite, that’s okay but being a bit adventurous, can be fun too.

There are plenty of coffee brand names to choose from such as: Folgers coffee brands, Squirrel brand coffee, Presidential brand coffee, Metro brand coffee and many others.

There are gourmet coffee shop blends like Starbucks or others as well. There are also lesser known brands of coffee that might be gourmet or available from your favorite coffee retailer.

The top five coffee brands will vary from place to place but many favorites include such brands as Gloria Jeans, Green Mountain, Kona Coffee, Peets, and Starbucks. Regardless of what your favorite brand of coffee is, adventuring can be fun and cupping is coffee’s answer to wine tasting. Cupping can help you expand your coffee repertoire.

Some coffee brand logos are very distinct and memorable and many people don’t necessarily look at the names of coffee brands but more at the logo and packaging or type of coffee and roast. Some are comfortable seeing 100% Columbian or Arabica Dark Roast and that’s enough to convince them to try a new kind.

The top selling coffee brands tend to be those that are easily available and whose manufacturers have extensive marketing budgets. Some of the lesser known brands of coffee might include fair trade organic coffee which might cost a little more but that helps sustain the lives of the farmers who grow the coffee and ensure good environmental and labor practices.

Green coffee beans are also increasing in popularity due to the surge in popularity of home roasting. Many major brands of coffee are now carrying and selling green beans.


If you’re looking for a new brand of coffee, being adventurous can bring about a maturing of your palate in terms of coffee. Not all coffees are created equal. Arabica is much tastier than Robusta in the opinion of the majority. Some people like light roasts and others prefer deep dark, earthy flavors. Maybe you like flavored coffee and perhaps you are an espresso shot drinker. Whatever the case is, be adventurous and consider trying a sampler pack online or at your specialty shop to get a feel for other varieties of coffee and other coffee brands.
