How we picked

Cafendo does not taste or score coffees, so the list ranks what the catalog can tell. Each coffee gets points for:

  • each day in the last 90 on which visitors went to the roaster’s shop for it (up to 10);
  • each fact the roaster gives: producer, variety, process, altitude, region, tasting notes (up to 6);
  • a photo and a price (1 each), and an average rating of 4 stars or more (2).
  • At most two coffees per roaster; no commercial brands and no Amazon listings. Origin lists take single origins only.

Nobody pays for a place. The lists are worked out again every day from the catalog. How Cafendo orders its lists
