Best Ethiopian Coffee
Our current picks for the best Ethiopian coffees from specialty roasters.
Ethiopia is where coffee originated, and the best lots still have a clarity you won't get from other origins. A washed Yirgacheffe tastes almost floral and tea-like; a natural Guji hits you with fruit and ferment. The range within one country is wild.

Buying advice
Washed lots from Yirgacheffe or Sidamo give you clean florals. Natural-processed Guji is the move for bold fruit. Most Ethiopian coffees work best as pour-over or batch brew, and lighter roasts preserve what makes them interesting.
