Buying coffee online seems straightforward, until you have to choose between coffee capsules, ground coffee, coffee beans, instant coffee and ready-to-drink iced coffee. Packaging often uses words like “intense”, “rich” or “premium”, but these don’t always tell you enough about the flavour, ingredients or practical usability.
With this guide, you can compare coffee on verifiable points: the brewing method, composition, roast level and serving size. That way, you avoid paying for a product that doesn’t fit your daily routine.
“Dark roast” doesn’t automatically mean a coffee contains more caffeine. The flavour may be stronger, more bitter or smokier, while the caffeine content isn’t clearly stated on the packaging. So if you’re looking for strong coffee, it’s worth checking the type of coffee beans used, the roast level and the brewing method.
Robusta coffee is generally associated with a bold flavour and a higher caffeine content than Arabica coffee. That’s a general characteristic of the coffee type, not a guarantee for every individual product. Always check the product information.
A 500g bag may seem good value, but coffee beans and ground coffee require a coffee machine, filter holder or moka pot. Coffee capsules are often more expensive per cup, but they offer a fixed portion and minimal preparation. With 3-in-1 coffee, you’re paying for convenience, but also for sugar and creamer.
So compare the price per cup, not just the price per bag, box or bottle.
A latte macchiato or caramel coffee can contain significantly more sugar than black instant coffee. With blended products, sugar, milk powder, creamer and flavourings are listed in the ingredients. Also look out for allergens such as milk, soya, gluten or fish. A product described as “creamy” doesn’t necessarily contain fresh milk.
Arabica coffee is often chosen for its milder, more aromatic flavour. Robusta can offer a fuller, bolder profile. A blend combines both characteristics. None of these types is automatically right for everyone; your taste and brewing method determine the choice.
A dark roast coffee, for example, works well with espresso or milk-based drinks when you want a pronounced flavour. For filter coffee, a lighter roast can be more pleasant. Product names like “intense” or “bold” are marketing terms. Use the stated coffee type, grind and brewing instructions as a verifiable basis.
Look out for:

We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Instant coffee and 3-in-1 coffee only need hot water. Ready-to-drink iced coffee can also be consumed straight away. For ground coffee, you usually need a filter, cafetière, moka pot or another brewing method.
This varies depending on the packaging and product type. Store coffee according to the label in a cool, dry place and seal the packaging tightly. Check the best-before date and don’t use any product with damaged packaging. Ground coffee generally loses its aroma more quickly after opening than unopened coffee beans.
The cost depends on the serving size, product type and brewing method. Calculate the price by dividing the purchase price by the number of cups or sachets. With coffee beans and ground coffee, don’t forget to factor in the number of grams used per cup. That way, you can compare capsules, filter coffee, instant coffee and 3-in-1 coffee fairly.
