What are Custom Coffee Beans?

With a custom coffee bean blend, your home coffee maker can extract the best, or Peak coffee flavor.

We like to think that it's easy to hit the coffee sweet spot with our custom coffee bean blends.
Discover the best bean blend for your home coffee machine.
The Coffee Sweet Spot
To hit the coffee sweet spot, you need to select the best coffee beans out of many different bean qualities, types, and origins.
We select our custom coffee bean blends from the highest grade, specialty coffee beans only. We never use commodity coffee beans.
From this tiny fraction of the specialty coffee market, we only use high-grade Arabica coffee beans and high-growth Robusta coffee beans.
All the coffee beans in our custom coffee blends grow in the mountains and highlands of Brazil, Honduras, and Vietnam, where they grow slower and develop more natural sugars such as fructose. The best high-grown coffee beans make for sweet coffee.
Only a small portion of the Arabica or Robusta harvests are strictly high grown, so we must be very selective.
As you can see in the illustration, only a very small portion of the world’s coffee beans qualify for our custom coffee bean blends.
Best Coffee Beans For Each Coffee Machine
It is not easy to get the best or right type of coffee beans, specifically for your home coffee maker.
At Peak Flavor we select the best custom coffee bean blend to match each type of coffee maker.
For some coffee machines, such as the espresso machine, we even customize our coffee bean blends to fit your favorite espresso-based coffee drink. We select the best combination of custom coffee beans for cappuccino, latte and macchiato.

Best Coffee Beans for Espresso
Best Coffee Beans for Your Espresso Machine
It is not easy to get the right type of coffee beans, specifically for your home coffee maker. At Peak Flavor we use a custom coffee bean blend for each type of coffee maker. And for some coffee machines, like the espresso machine, we even customize our coffee bean blends to fit your favorite espresso-based coffee drink. Learn below how we customize our custom coffee bean blends for your favorite coffee drink.
Best Coffee for French Press
Best Coffee Beans for French Press
A French press requires low acidity coffee beans with a high level of natural oils to yield abundant creaminess. High-grown coffee beans grow a little slower than coffee beans growing at sea level. The slow growth provides the coffee cherries more time to develop natural sugars such as fructose.
Our blend of French Press custom coffee beans contains about 20% Robusta coffee from the highlands in Vietnam. Not only do these Robusta coffee beans add more creaminess with their natural coffee oils, the high-grown Robusta coffee also contains about twice the amount of caffeine as Arabica coffee.
Best Beans for Pour-over/Drip Coffee
Best Coffee Beans for Pour-over/Drip
If you prefer clean pour over or drip coffee, specialty coffee beans with abundant natural oils will not help. The paper filter in a Chemex or drip coffee maker will not allow natural coffee oils to pass from the coffee grinds into your cup.
At Peak Flavor, we add only a small fraction (5%) of Robusta coffee beans to the Arabica coffee base in our custom coffee bean blends for pour-over drip coffee. Robusta coffee beans contain about twice as much caffeine as Arabica coffee beans. Most pour-over drip coffee lovers drink their drip coffee in the morning, so we figure a little more caffeine can be beneficial.
Best Coffee for reusable K Cups
Custom Coffee Beans for K Cups
For Reusable k cups, you need a custom coffee bean blend of fresh roasted coffee beans with more caramel, honey, and vanilla flavor notes.
Our custom coffee bean blends for reusable k cups contain strictly high-grown Arabica coffee beans from Brazil and Honduras to provide natural sweetness. For crema and some additional caffeine, we add 15% Robusta coffee beans.
The fresh roast of this combination reaches peak sweetness on day eight after the coffee roast. For reusable K cups, our fresh roasted custom coffee delivers the coffee sweet spot. Â
Best Beans for Latte
At Peak Flavor coffee, we add 20% high-grown Robusta coffee beans to our Arabica-based, custom coffee bean blends. A small portion of Robusta coffee beans adds intensity, strength, and caffeine. More intense and stronger espresso will preserve enough coffee taste in your latte, also after you add milk or milk foam.
Best Beans for Cappuccino
At Peak Flavor coffee, we add 20% high-grown Robusta coffee beans to our Arabica-based, custom coffee bean blends. A small portion of Robusta beans adds intensity, strength, and caffeine. More intense and stronger espresso will preserve enough coffee taste in your cappuccino, even after you add milk or milk foam.
Best Coffee Beans for Macchiato
For authentic Italian macchiato, we customize our custom coffee bean blends with 85% Arabica coffee beans and 15% high-grown Robusta coffee beans.
Robusta coffee beans are richer in natural coffee oils, which contain most of the good-tasting flavor notes that coffee lovers like to taste. More natural coffee oils also help add crema for more creaminess.
Best Beans for Americano
For authentic Italian macchiato or Americano coffee, we customize our custom coffee bean blends with 85% Arabica coffee beans and 15% high-grown Robusta coffee beans. The additional Robusta coffee beans are richer in natural coffee oils. Coffee oils contain most of the good-tasting flavor notes, which most coffee lovers like to taste. More natural coffee oils also help add crema for more creaminess.
We make finding your perfect coffee blend easy.
We know it is difficult to select the best coffee beans for your favorite coffee drink. Most grocery store coffee brands don’t inform you what coffee beans they roast with.
Large coffee roasters use mostly commodity coffee beans to save cost. Specialty coffee beans are often acidic or sour as they grow in plantations at lower altitudes in countries with smaller and irregular harvests. Â

Different coffee makers use different extraction methods to dissolve and extract optimum taste from your coffee grinds. Having the right blend of coffee beans for your coffee maker's extraction method determines the end quality of your brew to a great extend.
That's the reason why every type of coffee maker needs a coffee bean blend that fits the appropriate extraction method. A French press needs some oily beans in the blend for creaminess. An espresso machine needs some Robusta for crema. The beans for reusable Keurig cups need to contain high-grown, Arabica beans for natural sweetness. A pour-over drip needs clean specialty beans in its blend to get a clear pour.
