How to choose the right coffee?

At Columbus, we know one thing: good coffee is, above all, the kind that makes you happy. But between the beans, the capsules, the flavors, the intensities, how do you find your way around?
Don’t panic, we’ll guide you with a few simple guidelines and our house products to help you find the coffee that’s right for you.

🌍 Origin: A Journey into the Cup

Each coffee has its terroir, its personality. The origin of the bean influences the taste, the strength, and even the acidity.

🌱 South America: Sweet, balanced notes, a coffee for everyone
🌍 East Africa: Fruitier, sometimes tangy coffee, ideal for the curious
🌋 Asia: Fuller-bodied, spicier, perfect for lovers of intense coffee

🔥 Roasting Level: Mild or Strong?

Roasting is the cooking of the bean. It changes everything.

☕ Light roast: milder, more acidic coffee, ideal for filter coffee
☕ Medium roast: balance between sweetness and intensity (the Columbus signature)
☕ Dark roast: more pronounced, more bitter taste, perfect for espresso lovers

👉 Our Columbus coffees are designed to appeal to all tastes. Try our signature coffee in beans or capsules!

👃 Aroma: that little extra that makes all the difference

Some coffees smell of chocolate, others of red fruits, or even spices.

💡 Tip: Aroma isn’t added—it’s often natural, linked to the origin and roasting.

At Columbus, we offer several flavor profiles:

Chocolate and hazelnut notes (delicious)
Floral or fruity notes (lighter, more lively)
And always a beautiful roundness in the mouth
