TOP 5 of the best strong coffee beans

There’s nothing quite like a strong cup of coffee to get your day started or provide that necessary pick-me-up in the afternoon. But, not all coffee beans are created equal when it comes to strength. If you are looking for strong coffee beans, you’re probably looking for a high caffeine level, a distinctive boldness in the cup and the flavours of a dark roasted coffee. If you are not familiar with strong coffee beans and you want to learn more about it, grab your favourite cup and let’s get started. 

What Does Strong Coffee Beans Means?

When we talk about strong coffee beans we generally refer to a high caffeine level and to intense aromas which are all found in dark-roasted coffees.

Dark Roast Coffees and Robusta Blends

Italian style roasted coffees, or what we commonly call Italian coffees are dark roasted coffees. These dark to very dark roasts bring out rich, sweet, toasty and bitter flavours. These strong flavours are also enhanced by the use of Robusta beans that are known to contain more caffeine than Arabica beans enhancing the bitterness in the cup. They are therefore highly sought after for the caffeine kick they can provide!

The majority of strong coffee beans are made of Arabica/Robusta blends or 100% Robusta blends. Robusta beans are cultivated in various regions around the world but mostly in Vietnam, India and Colombia allowing for a diversity in flavours and intensity.

Therefore, it’s no wonder that the world’s strongest coffees are made of dark roasted Robusta blends.

Looking for More Caffeine?

Finally, strong coffee beans can not only refer to the roast colour or the type of beans used but also the brewing method. Indeed, we tend to associate espresso and ristretto shots as the best way to obtain the strongest cup of coffee but that all depends on what we mean by strong. 

Strongest in intensity and bitterness? Sure – but if we refer to the amounts of caffeine in the cup, a mug of cafetière coffee or pour-over coffee will be stronger in caffeine than an espresso. The longer the brew the stronger in caffeine it becomes. That’s why Cold Brew coffee (typically brewed for at least 4 to 12 hours) is one of the best brewing methods to end up with a high caffeine content.

Choosing Your Strong Coffee Beans

Choosing the right coffee beans can be tricky. So here is a quick guide to help you out.

#1

Choose Your Roast. The roast of your coffee beans affects their flavour, aroma, and acidity. When it comes to strong coffee, it’s best to go with a darker roast. However, if you don’t like the bitterness of dark roasts, you can opt for medium roasted coffee for a better balance.

#2

Pick the Origin. The coffee beans’ origin directly impacts their taste. Coffee beans that come from different regions, plantations, even crops can have distinct flavours. For strong coffee beans, you might want to look for Robusta beans from South America, Asia or South-East Asia. For 100% Arabica blend, South America is a better choice as it is more likely to offer rich and sweet notes rather than fruity and floral notes.

#3

Decide on Your Brewing Method. Espresso for intensity or filter methods for more caffeine and flavours? Choose wisely and enjoy the process of finding out the best brew for the perfect cup of strong coffee.
