8 Types of Coffee to Fall in Love With 

There’s nothing better than starting your day with a delicious cup of coffee. But if you’re a regular coffee drinker, you might want to spice things up and try something a little different from time to time. 

It can be tough to walk into your local shop and not order your usual. But here are eight types of coffee to fall in love with when you’re looking for something new.

1.  Arabica Beans 

A great cup of coffee starts at the source, the beans. The quality of your cup of coffee will change depending on the types of beans you use. Everyone has different tastes, so different coffee beans may suit your taste buds better than others.

Arabica beans are the most popular type of coffee. Arabica beans tend to have a sweeter, more straightforward flavor. Coffees made with Arabica beans are perfect to drink black with no cream or sugar. So if you like your cup of joe plain and simple, you can easily fall in love with arabica coffees.

2. Robusta Beans 

Another type of popular coffee bean is the robusta bean. Robusta beans have a stronger, more in-your-face bitter flavor than Arabica beans. Robusta beans also have more caffeine than Arabica. If you are a fan of espresso or instant coffees you’ll want to try using robusta beans for your daily pick-me-up.

3. Liberica Coffee Beans 

If you’re looking for something bolder and more complex, you’ll love the taste of Liberica coffee beans. These beans are known for having more complex flavors than others. You may sense more floral and smoky tastes. 

Liberica beans aren’t common in North America and Europe but are popular in the Philippines. This is one of the more polarizing beans because some coffee drinkers love the flavor while others report it tasting very burnt. So if you’re interested in trying something with a love-it-or-hate-it reputation, you might just find your new match.

4. Excelsa Beans 

Excelsa beans are very common in Asian countries and are pretty well-liked by most. They combine flavors found in both light and dark roast coffees. They’re a little confusing to try at first. But you may enjoy their intricate flavor more than your standard beans. 

5. Seasonal Roasts 

When the seasons change, tons of different flavors hit the shelves. Whether it’s pumpkin spice in the fall or coconut making a comeback in the summertime. 

One of the most common seasonal roasts is holiday blends. Almost every common coffee brand offers a different holiday roast during the winter season. Holiday roasts usually include notes of flavors that you’ll find around the holiday season. 

Some offer sweet maple and herbal notes while others offer hints of gingerbread and molasses. There’s nothing else to get you into the holiday spirit than a seasonal coffee roast.

6. Espresso Drinks 

Most people wake up in the morning, switch on the coffee pot, and start sipping. Getting into the world of espresso drinks can open up a new avenue of discovery when it comes to coffee. 

Espresso drinks come in all different shapes and sizes but all come down to the type of espresso you drink. Espresso is made with dark roast beans and a perfect shot is pulled with a combo of pressure, heat, and skill. There are tons of different espresso drinks so here are a few staples to try. 

Lattes

Lattes consist of a shot of espresso with steamed milk and a little foam. You can also order iced lattes if iced coffee is more your speed. If you want to try different flavors, lattes are perfect for you. You can have everything from vanilla to pumpkin spice to hazelnut. A great latte lets the espresso taste through without it being too strong. 

Americano 

If milk isn’t your thing and you like strong coffee, you’ll love americanos. Americanos are made with a shot of espresso mixed with hot water. This espresso drink is going to be the closest to a cup of black coffee. But the coffee flavor is more pronounced with the strength and flavor of the espresso shot. 

Red Eye

Looking for something to really wake you up? The red eye named after its flight counterpart will do just the trick. Red Eyes are made by adding ash out of espresso into a cup of black coffee. Enhancing the coffee flavor and packing a punch. Proceed with caution if you find yourself ordering red eyes but enjoy the rich flavor that you’ll get from the layers of coffee. 

7. Pour Over

While it may seem like a lot of work to order or make a pour-over coffee when you can just turn on the coffeemaker, having a pour-over can change the way you think about coffee. There are a couple of different ways to make pour-over coffees. 

You can add a small apparatus to the top of your mug and steep the coffee directly into the cup. Or you can brew pour-over in a Chemex or other glass pour-over coffee maker. 

Taking the time to brew a pour-over cup of coffee allows you to control the temperature of the water, the speed at which you brew the grounds, and how long you’ll steep the beans. It creates a smooth and more rich flavor profile than your average drip coffee.

8. Coffee Subscription 

If you want to try new coffees often but don’t want to buy bags of beans that will go bad, you should try a coffee subscription. You can choose your flavor profile preferences and how you make your coffee at home. There are tons of subscriptions out there so reading different coffee subscription reviews can help you pick the right one for you. 

Conclusion 

You don’t have to drink the same old cup of joe every day. The coffee industry is always expanding to find the newest, most interesting flavors. There’s so much to love and try when it comes to coffee so giving these eight different types of coffee a try can help you find exactly what you love.
