About us

Bean Clarity was built by coffee enthusiasts who wanted two plain answers about a bag of coffee: where did it come from, and what does it cost per kilo.

What we are here to do

Speciality coffee is sold by thousands of small roasters, each on their own shop, in bags of every size. Finding a coffee is easy. Comparing two is not. We put them in one place: 21,736 coffees from 1,097 roasters today, rechecked every morning.

  • Trace it. For every coffee we show how far the roaster traces it: to a country, a region, or the farm that grew it.
  • Price it. Every price is worked out per kilo, in the currency it is sold in, so a 200g bag and a kilo bag can be compared.
  • Find it. Search by roaster, origin, flavour, process or price, then buy from the roaster. We do not sell coffee.

We do not score coffee and we do not say which is better. We show what each roaster has published and leave the choosing to you.

Tracing a coffee back to its farm

How far the roaster traces this coffee, taken from what they publish on their own page. It records what they said about it, not how good it is. Every coffee carries up to three bars, and here is how the 21,736 we list today divide.

  • Traced to a farmTraced to a farm: 4,044 coffees
  • Traced to a regionTraced to a region: 4,943 coffees
  • Traced to a countryTraced to a country: 7,550 coffees
  • No origin statedNo origin stated: 5,199 coffees

No bars means the roaster has not said, not that anything is wrong with the coffee. See the coffees traced to a farm.

Our analysis

Because every coffee is recorded the same way, we can count across all of them: what a kilo costs by origin, by process and by country of sale, and how often roasters state where a coffee came from. Where a roaster has not published something we say “not stated” and never guess.
