Every coffee lover is on a quest to find the best-tasting beans possible. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the best gourmet coffee brands to try.
The best gourmet coffee brands are all the rave now, which is by no means surprising. Life is too short for bad coffee – this is a motto every coffee lover should live by. After all, more than 150 million Americans drink coffee, so they should expect to drink high-quality joe.
In fact, in a 2019 study, it was even revealed that more than 60% of coffee drinkers had consumed gourmet java in the past day. If you haven’t tried gourmet coffee before, this is your cue to do so. Let me assure you, you’ll never go back to drinking grocery store-bought java again.
But where to start? Nowadays, there are many gourmet coffee brands on the market, each offering a unique range of roasts and flavors. And today, we’ll cover 35 of the best ones.
While you’re here, check out our reasons why specialty coffee is worth buying. Now, let’s dive in.
Single-Origin Gourmet Coffee Brands
As the name suggests, single-origin coffee is sourced from a single coffee-growing region. Since all the beans in the bag come from the same location and experience the same growing conditions, their flavor is a direct result of the microclimate they grow in.
Gourmet coffee brands typically include the world’s finest single-origin coffee beans, which provide a unique experience for every coffee lover.
1. Proud Mary Coffee
While the beautiful packaging may be the first thing that catches your eye, the exceptional quality is what will make you a fan of Proud Mary. The brand carefully selects beans from growing regions all over the world to provide a wide range of flavor options.
While there are a couple of blends available, Proud Mary is mainly focused on single-origin coffee. From Ethiopian Heirloom to South American Gesha, there’s something for everyone.
If you’re unsure what to try, the brand uses a simple but explanatory flavor profile scale. For those who enjoy a cozy cup of coffee, Mild is the way to go. Curious is for those looking for a new taste to try, if you prefer a bold and bombastic flavor profile, go with Wild.
Finally, the Deluxe category offers one-of-a-kind options. These are typically limited versions and come in beautiful tin boxes that retain freshness for as long as possible.
2. Atlas Coffee Club
The Atlas Coffee Club offers a unique way of exploring coffee flavors. The brand works on a subscription principle: you choose your preferred grind type, roast, and coffee type, as well as technicalities like the delivery frequency and number of bags per shipment.
Each subscription box is carefully selected to include flavor profiles of different countries, allowing you to explore the richness of what coffee around the world has to offer. You get a new coffee each month as well as a postcard from the country of origin, detailing the history and tasting notes.
If you’re looking for a gift for your coffee-loving friend, the brand offers some great options. Aside from regular subscription boxes, the Legendary Destinations Gift Set is also worth trying. This set includes limited-edition java from legendary regions like the Blue Mountains in Jamaica or Ka’u in Hawaii.
3. Lifeboost Coffee
When talking about single-origin gourmet coffee, Lifeboost is a no-skip brand. Mainly sourced from mountainous regions of Central America, Lifeboost coffee is shade-grown, hand-picked, and roasted in small batches.
It’s also worth noting that Lifeboost coffee is very low in acidity, which makes it an excellent option for anyone with stomach issues and digestive problems. While most coffee has a pH range between 4.85 and 5.10, this coffee has a pH value of around 6.0 or more.
Aside from Central American single-origin beans, the brand has a small but sweet range of more unique options. Some of its most popular offerings include Pacamara, Yirgacheffe, and Gesha.
For those who enjoy a bit of smokiness in their brew, Lifeboost also has whiskey and bourbon barrel-aged coffee, both of which are subtly sweet and with a slight hint of liquor.
4. Immigrant Culture Coffee
Immigrant Culture sources beans from diverse regions. An immigrant himself, the company’s founder Maurizio Frattini developed a deep appreciation for the various coffee traditions that immigrants have brought to the USA from different parts of the world.

Not only that, but the packaging also details the flavor notes and recommended brewing methods. Finally, each bag has a roasting date, so you exactly how fresh it is.
5. Paradise Coffee
This Hawaii-based brand has been making specialty and rare coffees for about two decades now. A good portion of the coffee beans Paradise Coffee offers actually come from the islands themselves, like Kona Gesha and Ka‘ū.

While mainly focused on single-origin coffee such as Colombia Pink Bourbon and Thailand Wiang Pa Po, it offers a short but sweet collection of blends as well.
It’s also worth noting that, every now and then, rare coffees are roasted in small batches on a limited schedule. In most cases, that means they’re offered for one roast day only, so getting your hands on them requires some planning and staying updated on the brand’s activity. Trust me, it’s well worth it.
