Where to Buy Coffee Beans in Guangzhou? Guangzhou Coffee Bean Prices per Pound - Price Range Guide

For professional coffee knowledge exchange and more coffee bean information, please follow the Coffee Workshop (WeChat public account: cafe_style).

It mainly depends on what price range of coffee beans you want to buy in Guangzhou. For low-end options, you can go to Yide Road. Basically, once you reach Yide Road, any store selling seasonings will have them. I personally recommend the middle section of Yide Road where there are more stores. I won't recommend specific store names. For mid-range options, go to supermarkets that sell imported food. For buying coffee beans, "Metro" is a good choice. Brands like Lavazza, illy, UCC, etc. are all available. For mid-to-low-end options, coffee beans like ZRONG, Metro's private brand, etc. are also available, with a relatively complete variety. PS: Starbucks coffee... well, it's not that great. If you want even higher-end coffee beans, you can only look for artisanal coffee roasters. Some shops can even roast to order, which will guarantee both quality and freshness.

1. Don't be greedy for small bargains; it's best to buy an amount that can be consumed within one month from the coffee roasting date

Because the freshness of coffee beans starts counting from when they are roasted. Freshly roasted coffee beans will begin to degas (mainly carbon dioxide), continuing for about a week. When the gas is completely exhausted (about 2-3 weeks), the coffee beans are no longer fresh!

2. Buying coffee beans with clearly marked dates is the smart choice

Generally, food products are judged by their shelf life and best-by date. Coffee beans belong to the food category. Some major coffee companies use central roasting methods to mass-produce coffee beans, and their shelf life is usually between 12 to 18 months. However, shelf life and freshness are two different things. For coffee beans, what really matters is the best-by date. The fresher the coffee beans, the better the coffee brewed from them will taste!

3. Don't buy coffee from unknown sources or with unclear labeling

Many coffee merchants in the market, due to price competition, can only buy low-quality and cheap raw beans for roasting, so they dare not clearly label the coffee's identity. However, truly high-quality coffee has a clear and complete identity, allowing you to buy with peace of mind and drink with confidence.

Guangzhou Coffee Bean Brand Recommendation

Located at Dongshankou in Yuexiu District, the Guangzhou coffee bean brand - FrontStreet Coffee - offers various types of freshly roasted specialty coffee beans with full guarantees in both brand and quality, suitable for brewing with various equipment. More importantly, the cost-performance ratio is extremely high. A bag of single-origin coffee beans weighing 227 grams costs only about 80-90 yuan. Calculating based on 200ml per cup of single-origin coffee with a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio, one bag can make 15 cups of specialty coffee, with each cup costing only about 6.6 yuan. Compared to cafes that sell each cup for over a hundred yuan, this offers excellent value.
