Check out a selection of coffee shops and online stores offering specialty coffee beans. From everyday options to more exotic cafes
Do you want to experience a coffee shop in your home? Even if you are not one of those coffee lovers which has several methods to extract a cup, the act of focusing on a special coffee is already a great start. The most recent sector survey, conducted in 2017 by Euromonitor for the Brazilian Association of Specialty Coffees (BSCA), highlighted that specialty coffees represent 2.8% of the total beverage market. And the survey also made a market projection in 2021, with a growth of 5.1%.
Driven by the growing interest of Brazilians in specialty coffees, several coffee shops and e-commerce have invested in a diverse selection of beans produced in the country’s major coffee regions. You can find from that daily coffee with notes of caramel and balanced acidity, to the most diverse ones, with mango flavor and citric acidity.
It is worth remembering that if you have not yet invested in a coffee grinder, the premises also offer coffee in the ground version. Discover a selection of addresses and deliveries where to buy special coffees:
