Extra Details:

What are your favorite premium or best coffee beans? Currently, I've been drinking illy dark roast. It's good, but I feel like it can be better. I know everyone has different opinions when it comes to aroma, flavor, and origin, but that's why I'd love to hear your personal takes on different beans.

Verve Coffee is known for its bright, clean, and balanced flavor profiles. Their coffee tends to have a refined, complex taste that showcases the natural qualities of the beans they source. Depending on the blend or single origin you try, you might get tasting notes that range from citrusy, floral, and fruity to nutty and chocolatey with a smooth finish. 

It’s a good option to try for those who appreciate craft coffee with depth and nuance. If you're searching for beans with lower acidity, medium roast is a good place to start. Try the Sermon - it's fruit-forward and full-bodied.

Try Bacha Coffee - Mount Kenya blend. 

It’s got a rich and flavorful coffee with a smooth, fruity profile that really stands out. Grown in the high altitudes of Kenya, it has this perfect balance of acidity and sweetness, making every cup feel like a special treat. Whether you’re brewing it for a quiet morning or serving it to guests, it’s one of those coffees that’s truly worth savoring.

If you're serious about a caffeine boost, Death Wish Coffee! 

At first, I was hesitant to try it, fearing it might be too strong (and possibly lethal), but it gives you such a smooth and gradual but effective caffeine. I get Dark Roast whole beans, and the aroma, flavor, and effect are top-notch. I can't attest to other roasts from Death Wish, but its Dark Roast doesn't taste acidic. They're pricier than bulk beans you'd find at, say, Costco, but its worth indulging.
