Tasting Reports - Annual Top 30

Coffee Review has published more than 250 monthly coffee and espresso tasting reports since February 1997. Starting in 2013, our editors began producing a ranking of the 30 most exciting coffees from the thousands we cupped over the course of the previous 12 months. The tasting reports below feature our Top 30 tasting reports in reverse chronological order. The content in tasting reports and associated reviews was correct at the time of publication but may not remain accurate over time.
