No longer! This article will walk you through making the best of your coffee experience through thoughtful and inspired natural coffee and creamer pairings that could lead to your new favorite brew. 

Choosing the Right Coffee Bean

Start your inspired coffee pairing off right with careful consideration of your preferred roast level. It is truly amazing how the roast level of your bean can create a rich tapestry of desirable qualities. Notice some of the basic coffee descriptions and think about how these flavors could be enhanced or hidden through coffee creamer choice. 

Light roast

Light roast coffees offer a brighter flavor along with a higher caffeine content ounce per ounce of coffee. Some people prefer a light roast for the uplifting taste and feel that it is less likely to cause heartburn. 

Medium roast

Medium roast coffees can create stellar, balanced flavor profiles that allow for a wide range of subtle or powerful notes without being overpowering. With choices such as our FOCUS Medium Roast, you can start with a base that enhances many delicious creamer options. 

Dark roast

Dark roast coffees offer the boldest and potentially most intense flavor profiles. These strong brews allow the coffee to take front and center with a variety of creamer options. Choose a blend that can hold its own, such as our Organic Peruvain Dark Roast. 

In addition to the roast, think about the flavor profile. Most quality natural coffees offer a description that allows you to make an informed choice. Some common notes include:

• Fruity
• Floral
• Nutty
• Cocoa

Knowing the flavor notes already present in your coffee can help you decide which creamers will enhance the best of your coffee choice.

A final consideration when choosing a natural coffee is to look for certifications like Fair Trade and USDA Organic to ensure high-quality, sustainable coffee.

Coffee and Creamer Pairing Tips

No matter what flavor profiles spark your imagination and interest, use these tips to make your choice a standout feature that enhances your all-natural coffee creamer pairing ideas:

Choose a creamer with a stronger flavor profile if you prefer a bold brew.

When working with a bold brew coffee, feel free to push the limits of creamer flavor options. As your coffee flavor will still stand out even amidst a strong flavor, you can enjoy creamers that might overpower a lighter roast.

Consider the temperature of your coffee. 

Hot coffee pairs well with steamed creamers or ones with a spicier profile, such as Peppermint Mocha Superfood Creamer, while iced coffee pairs well with refreshing creamers like a classic Vanilla Superfood Creamer.

Experiment with different flavor combinations to find your perfect cup.

If you have found one excellent natural coffee and creamer combination, enjoy! But don't feel stuck, keep trying new pairings and revel in the possibilities!

Don't be afraid to try new and unexpected pairings to expand your palate.
