There is nothing better than the taste of that first sip of piping-hot coffee. Whether you enjoy it in the morning, in the afternoon, on its own, or paired with your favorite pastries, you know what a good-quality cup of coffee tastes like. Unfortunately, you probably also know what a bad cup of coffee tastes like too. The difference between a good cup of coffee and a bad cup of coffee all comes down to the beans. Fire up that French press, grind up those coffee beans, and plug in that Keurig because here are 10 coffee brands that use the highest quality ingredients.

Copper Cow Coffee

If you enjoy flavored coffee, but still care about the quality of the beans, then you should check out Copper Cow Coffee. (Try saying that five times fast). Copper Cow Coffee channels the herbs and spices you love to use in recipes and beautifully blends them with their ground coffee so they naturally get infused during your home brewing process.

It is shocking to hear, but much of the flavored coffee found in your local grocery store or market is actually sprayed with artificial essences and flavors, which taste totally different than the real flavor itself. Plus, who wants their coffee beans or coffee grounds sprayed? Umm, not you! That is why when it comes to high-quality coffee with delicious and fun flavors, like lavender, look to Copper Cow Coffee.
