Café Bustelo is a longstanding favorite in the Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican communities as its original brew's exceedingly strong, espresso-style dark roast caters beautifully to Latino coffee tastes. However, over its nearly century-long lifespan to date, Café Bustelo has come to encompass a diverse array of different roasts that are now a staple in households nationwide. Tasting Table tried and ranked 7 Café Bustelo ground coffee varieties based on uniqueness and flavor, and the best Café Bustelo variety, according to our taste test, is the medium roast.
Why single origin? Blends certainly have their place, as do flavored cups (I did love the fall lineup from Bones Coffee Co.), but brewing beans grown in a single location really lets you get a fuller sense of their character. You'll find lots of wild tasting notes in single-origin coffees because the beans aren't diluted with those from another terrain.

Whatever your particular hankering may be for, there's no denying that sometimes iced coffee just hits different - it can tickle a midafternoon craving and scratch a certain itch that hot coffee can't seem to reach. However, not all iced coffees are created equal.

Summer has me putting berries on everything and wearing my sunflower-studded overalls, and obviously, autumn finds me incorporating Starbucks' seasonal menu into my routine. Speaking of Starbucks, another aspect of my life that is constantly in flux with the seasons is my morning coffee habit. And I'm not just talking about drinking hot coffee in the winter and iced coffee in the summer; I'll even switch up where I source my beans from depending on the season.
