Stiftung Warentest Reveals Top Filter Coffees: Price Does Not Equal Quality

A recent study by Stiftung Warentest shows that while filter coffee prices vary widely, quality differences are minimal, with social and environmental factors often overlooked.

• The test evaluated 15 different filter coffees, with prices ranging from 8.60 to 32 euros per kilo.
• Eduscho Filterkaffee Nr. 1 from Tchibo emerged as the top performer, though it only achieved a 'Good' rating due to issues with sustainability and labor conditions.
• Seven other coffees also received 'Good' ratings, with only minor differences in taste and aroma.
• Warentest recommends Barissimo Classic from Aldi Nord and dmBio Kaffee Klassik for their balance of quality, price, and ethical considerations.
• To preserve flavor, consumers are advised to purchase coffee in small quantities and store it in a cool, dark place.
