The best specialty coffees under $15 per bag
Finding high-quality coffee for under $15 a bag is a challenge, but our catalog currently holds 20 options that prove value does not require sacrificing quality. This selection is dominated by washed processes, which account for 12 of the lots, followed by a smaller representation of natural, honey, and anaerobic methods. You will find familiar varieties like Caturra and Bourbon alongside regional staples from Minas Gerais, Huila, and Cajamarca. Dear Green Coffee Roasters and Joe Coffee Company are the primary contributors here, providing consistent access to reliable daily drinkers. Whether you are looking for a clean washed organic coffee from Peru or a balanced pulped natural from Brazil, these selections represent the highest-scoring coffees in our catalog that fit a tighter budget.
What to taste for:Look for clean acidity in the washed lots and a heavier, fruit-forward sweetness in the natural processed coffees.
