Top 10: best coffee beans for bean-to-cup coffee machines

The search for the best coffee beans is a daunting task. Between coffee varieties, different origins, different treatments, roasting colours, types of beverage… There are so many coffee beans! To find the coffee that suits your taste, we have prepared a selection of the 10 best coffee beans, each in its own way.

HOW IS THIS RANKING MADE?

MaxiCoffee experts

At MaxiCoffee, we put all our expertise into presenting you with the best coffees on the market. Our experts have selected their Top 10 best coffee beans for you, based on the following criteria:

  • The coffees offering the best coffee experience and the best result in the cup
  • The best rated and best selling coffee beans
  • Coffees adapted to the type of machine used
  • Coffees for all types of consumers: from speciality coffee to “conventional” coffee.

 

WHY CHOOSE COFFEE BEANS?

More economical

Compared to coffee capsules, coffee beans are much less expensive. However, many criteria influence the price of coffee, which is why it is difficult to settle on a price per kilo. To give you an idea, an entry-level coffee bean can start at ten euros, but it is not uncommon to approach a hundred euros for specialty coffee.

More environmentally friendly

Another argument in favour of coffee beans: ecology! Without capsules, less waste is produced. What’s more, the coffee grounds are compostable, recyclable and reusable.

More flavour

Coffee beans retain more of the freshness and tasting notes. So, a freshly ground coffee from your coffee grinder will give you a cup that is richer in flavour. However, it is important to store it properly! Loïs, from our Coffee Expertise Unit, gives you her advice:

This is important in order to keep all the aroma of your coffee: to do this, use a storage box, placed in a cupboard away from the light.

More choice

The world of coffee opens up to you when you choose coffee beans. Many brands offer a wide choice of coffee beans. There’s plenty to choose from.
