Top 50 Coffees of 2025

Since 2013, Coffee Review editors have published an annual list of the year’s Top 30 Coffees, ranking the most exciting coffees from the thousands we cupped over the course of the year. This year, we expanded from 30 to 50 coffees to include more of the spectacular coffees that deserve to make the cut.
We rank the 50 most exciting coffees based on quality (represented by overall Coffee Review rating); value (affordability relative to other similar quality coffees); and other factors that include distinctiveness of style, uniqueness of origin, tree variety, processing method, certification, and general rarity.
This year, our countdown of the Top 50 Coffees of 2025 began on Sunday, November 16. The countdown will continue with daily announcements through Friday, November 21, when we will reveal our No. 1 coffee of 2025.
