The best specialty coffees under $20 per bag
Finding high-quality coffee for under $20 a bag is a challenge in the current market, but our catalog currently holds 20 lots that meet this criteria. The selection is dominated by washed processes, which account for 12 of these options, followed by four natural and one honey-processed lot. You will find classic varieties like Caturra, Bourbon, and Typica throughout the list, alongside three Geisha lots. Geographically, the coffees span regions from Huila and Antioquia to Kayanza and Cerrado. Roasters like Dear Green Coffee Roasters, Red Bay Coffee, and Stone Street Coffee provide the bulk of these selections. These coffees represent the highest-scoring options on our composite that remain accessible in price. We have curated this list to help you find reliable daily drinkers without compromising on quality.
What to taste for:Look for clean acidity in the washed lots and balanced sweetness in the Brazilian selections.
