specialty coffee
Craft roasted beans
Specialty coffee refers to high-quality coffee beans that score 80 or above on a 100-point scale, distinguished by origin, growing conditions, and careful processing.
The term also describes the broader culture around such coffee—third-wave roasters, single-origin beans, precise brewing methods, and cafés that treat coffee as craft rather than commodity: She only drinks specialty coffee now.
