Since I paid homage to the Best Teas according to Real Simple Mag it is only fair to do the same for coffee.
The Best Coffee
Whether you favor light, medium, or dark roast, these winners are all buzz-worthy.
Light Roasts, Best Ground
Allegro Coffee Organic Breakfast Blend
Grown without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers, this fragrant mix has “delicious hints of blackberry,” said a tester. “It wakes up your mouth,” added Jonathan Rubinstein, owner of the Joe cafés, in New York City.
To buy: $11 for 12 ounces.
Light Roasts, Best Whole Bean
Newman’s Own Organics Nell’s Breakfast Blend
This delicious concoction “is smooth, mild, bright, and refreshing,” said Rubinstein. Said a fan: “Love the citrus tang.”
To buy: $9 for 10 ounces.
Medium Roasts, Best Ground
The Organic Coffee Company Zen Blend
“I adore the aroma,” said a tester of the chocolate and nut notes. “And it’s pleasant to drink from start to finish.” Bonus: The company helps fund schools for the growers’ kids.
To buy: $9 for 12 ounces.
Medium Roasts, Best Whole Bean
Tully’s Coffee House Blend
Processing in small batches in a vintage cast-iron roaster renders these beans, in the words of one coffee lover, “buttery and silky, with delicate sweet tones.”

The “earthy, robust punch” of this full-bodied coffee impressed several testers, who went back for seconds. Said one, “It’s strong but smooth.”
