Year in Coffee - 2025

This is the seventh edition of 'My Year In Coffee', my yearly statistics overview of the coffee beans I use in a year. I'm using Google Sheets for this.

In a personal note, I had to cut back my number of cups of coffee per day, because I have a fracture in my diaphragm and I had to change my diet 😳. But more reasons to only drink good coffee 😉.

There has been a major change this year. For coffee at the office, I have a subscription from The Coffee Vine (affiliate link). The fine people at The Coffee Vine select the best coffee beans from roasters in Europe, and I get a box of three bags every month. So I have a lot more unique coffee beans this year, and I couldn’t fit all the bags in one picture. Last year, I had 30 unique bags of coffee beans; this year, 53!

For coffee at home, Rum Baba Coffee Roasters and the Espressofabriek are still my go-to coffee shops.

African Coffee beans from countries like Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Kenya are still my favorites, but as always, I had some very interesting coffees from Latin American Countries. An interesting new country for me was Papua New Guinea; Kindeng from CleverCoffee in Denmark.

The majority of the coffee beans were washed or natural process, but I also like more experimental processing, like Anaerobic (fermented). The most interesting one this year was Colombia Monteblanco Coconut Lemonade; these beans were fermented with Coconut and Cholupa.

Apps

When I started keeping track of the coffee beans Im using, I tried to find an app for this. There were a few, but these weren’t very good. This year, there is a new kid on the block: Siip. It’s like Untappd or Vivino for coffee beans. It doesn’t generate a yearly overview, but it’s an app with a lot of potential, so maybe next year! It’s highly recommended if you also want to keep track of your beans.

AI - Podcast & Infographic

Last year, I ran an experiment with Google NotebookLM to analyze my coffee data. A lot has changed in the world of AI since then, so I decided to run some new experiments this year. This resulted in a great infographic and an interesting podcast featuring two people discussing the coffee data for 13 minutes. They even talked about different processing techniques and agreed that the most interesting one this year was the Colombia Monteblanco Coconut Lemonade!

If you have any tips for great coffee beans, or if you are a roaster and want to be included in my stats for next year, please send me an email. 😎

See you next year, and enjoy your coffee!
