The best specialty coffees under $25 per bag
Finding high-quality coffee without a premium price tag is a challenge. We have curated 20 lots from our catalog that currently retail for under $25 per bag. This selection leans heavily on washed processes, which account for 13 of the 20 lots, followed by a smaller representation of anaerobic, natural, and honey-processed coffees. You will find familiar varieties like Caturra and Bourbon sourced from regions including Huila, Kayanza, and Mantiqueira de Minas. Roasters such as Nossa Familia, George Howell, and Phil & Sebastian are well-represented here. These coffees prove that you do not need to spend excessively to experience clean, well-processed, and distinct profiles. We have ranked these based on our composite scoring to help you identify the best value in our current inventory.
What to taste for:Look for clean acidity and consistent clarity, which are the hallmarks of the washed-process coffees that dominate this price-conscious selection.
