Discover Truly Delicious Coffee
What does “delicious coffee” mean to you? TYPICA defines a delicious coffee as having uniqueness, freshness, transparency, and a story behind it – In other words, a coffee that’s in season and maintains the clear identity of the producer.
TYPICA GUIDE introduces you to people who roast such delicious coffees. Behind every cup of coffee is the effort of countless people working in the farms. Roasters have a vital role to play; they are the last ones in the chain to pass the baton of deliciousness to the coffee drinker. We decided to launch TYPICA GUIDE to shine a light on their work and connect them with as many coffee drinkers as possible.
TYPICA GUIDE is not created by anonymous inspectors, but by a worldwide community of coffee lovers, including coffee producers, roasters, and consumers.
TYPICA GUIDE invites you to a world of new possibilities that opens up when you discover a truly delicious coffee.

How it works Recommendation Flow
1-Star Roasters are recommended by TYPICA’s community managers based on a comprehensive review of factors such as alignment with TYPICA’s vision and purchase history.
From among the 1-Star Roasters, candidates submit a presentation video and coffee beans for further evaluation. Coffee professionals within TYPICA then select the 2-Star Roasters, with the QC team verifying the quality of the coffee.
This year, we are expanding the number of recommendations to shine a spotlight on more roasters. From each region, at least one roaster will be recommended, and every roaster deemed worthy of 2-Stars will be included.
