Tasting Kits

A coffee tasting kit is a curated set of 3-4 different specialty coffees in smaller portions, designed for side-by-side comparison so you can explore origins, processing methods, and flavour profiles.

Our Beanalyzer Kit is built for exploration. You pick three coffees from our current lineup, and we send them in 5oz portions with tasting notes and a guided comparison card. It's the fastest way to figure out whether you're an Ethiopian-natural person or a Colombian-washed person — and it makes a great gift for anyone who says they "like coffee" but hasn't gone down the specialty rabbit hole yet.

How to Get the Most from a Coffee Tasting Kit

Brew all three coffees using the same method and ratio — pour-over works best for tasting because it produces the cleanest, most transparent cup. Use 15g of coffee to 240ml of water at 93°C for each.

Taste them side by side, not on different days. Your palate calibrates when you compare directly. Start by smelling each cup, then sip at different temperatures — many coffees reveal new flavours as they cool. The comparison card in the kit guides you through this process.

Take notes. Even simple ones like "this one is fruitier" or "I'd drink this every morning" help you build a coffee vocabulary and figure out your preferences. That's the whole point — once you know what you like, you can shop with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Beanalyzer Kit?

You choose 3 coffees from our current lineup. Each comes in a 5oz portion (enough for 6-8 cups), along with detailed tasting notes, origin information, and a guided comparison card. Available in whole bean, espresso grind, or filter grind.

Is a coffee tasting kit good for beginners?

It's the best way to start. Instead of committing to a full bag of one coffee, you try three different origins side by side. This quickly teaches you what flavour profiles you enjoy — fruity and bright? Chocolatey and nutty? — so your next purchase is based on experience, not guesswork.

How should I brew a tasting kit?

Pour-over is ideal for tasting because it produces the cleanest cup. Brew all three coffees using the same method, ratio (1:16), and water temperature (93°C). Taste them side by side, starting while hot and revisiting as they cool — many coffees reveal new flavours at lower temperatures.

Are coffee tasting kits good gifts?

They're one of our most popular gifts. The Beanalyzer Kit comes beautifully packaged with everything needed for an at-home tasting experience — no prior coffee knowledge required. It's perfect for birthdays, holidays, housewarmings, or anyone who says they "like coffee" but hasn't explored specialty yet.
