Premium Coffee

The "Premium coffee" category in the CoffeeBroastery.com store is a collection of carefully selected beans of above-average quality, which are distinguished by their full, balanced taste, interesting bouquet of aromas and suitable for both everyday drinking and more demanding coffee enjoyment. Here you will find coffees that provide exceptional experiences at a more affordable price than their close cousin - specialty coffee.

Premium coffee (grade 2) are beans classified just one rung lower than the highest quality specialty coffee (grade 1). However, they still meet rigorous quality criteria, and the differences in rating are often almost imperceptible to the average consumer. It is the perfect choice for those looking for freshly roasted coffee with a natural taste, good purity of the brew and a pleasant profile - without having to enter the sophisticated world of coffees with a score above 85 SCA.

Discover the benefits of premium coffee and find out why it is worth paying attention to both in your daily routine and during aromatic brewing sessions at your own home.

Premium coffee - high quality confirmed by standards

Assessing the quality of beans is a rigorous process, regulated by the standards of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). The beans are assessed in their raw (green) state, before roasting. The analysis includes, among others:

• bean size – larger and more uniform beans are considered easier to roast and grind evenly,
• presence of defects – even minor damage to the beans affects the later flavor profile of the coffee,
• moisture and density – these are parameters that affect the quality of storage, but also roasting and extraction,
• sensory evaluation after roasting – the aroma, sweetness, acidity, balance, body and purity of the brew are assessed.

Grade 1, or specialty coffee, requires the absence of any first-degree defects and may have a maximum of five minor defects in a 350g sample. In turn, grade 2 – premium coffee – allows for up to 8 minor defects and individual first-degree defects, such as the so-called quakers, or immature, lighter beans that do not reach their full flavor even after roasting.

In practice, this means that premium coffee still offers very high quality – especially compared to industrial coffees, which may contain numerous defects, be a mixture of beans from different continents and be characterized by low transparency of origin.

Who is premium coffee for?

Premium coffee is an excellent choice for people who:

• pay attention to quality, but do not necessarily need coffee with an SCA score above 85,
• are looking for fresh, uniform beans for an espresso machine, coffee maker, pour-over or drip,
• want to enjoy the natural taste of coffee without dominant bitterness and burnt notes,
• prefer everyday coffee, but above average - with class and character,
• are at the beginning of their coffee adventure and are looking for something more than discount coffee,
• want to try beans of origin, but at an affordable price.

In the "Premium coffee" category, you will find exceptional coffees from renowned growing countries - such as Brazil, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, Tanzania or India. These coffees will delight both those who brew coffee in the traditional way and those who use alternative brewing methods.

Freshly roasted coffee - a difference you can feel

Regardless of the quality of the beans, the freshness of the coffee is crucial. Even excellent premium coffee, if it has been sitting on the shelf for too long or has been poorly packaged, will not give off its full flavor. At CoffeeBroastery.com we roast coffees in small batches, on an ongoing basis - thanks to this, you have a guarantee of freshness and the best aroma, which is released during grinding and brewing.

We prepare coffees in this category with high efficiency, good body and balanced taste in mind. Depending on the batch, you can find coffees with notes of nuts, cocoa, dried fruit, caramel, tea or spices. Perfect for everyday espresso, flavored cappuccino or afternoon drip coffee - each of them is a full-value product that stands out from the commercial alternatives.

Origin and responsibility

Premium coffee, like specialty coffee, comes from proven growers - often from small farms or cooperatives that cooperate with experienced importers. Although the differences between grade 1 and grade 2 result from technical parameters and minor defects, both classes are produced with similar care for the environment and fair working conditions in the countries of origin.

Thanks to this, by choosing premium coffee, you not only enjoy better taste, but also support ethical and sustainable farming methods and a transparent supply chain. Information about the processing method and recommended brewing method can always be found on our labels.
