Do you like to start your day with a cup of coffee?
I know I do! As soon as I wake up, the first thing I do is make myself a nice hot cup of coffee.
Coffee is a great way to wake up and get energized for the day. It often provides me with a boost of inspiration and motivation to get started with my plans.
But what type of coffee should you drink in the morning?
As there are many different types of coffee, and each one has its own unique benefits and flavor, it can be difficult to figure out which coffee is best to drink for breakfast.
Therefore I’ve decided to create this blogpost where I’ll discuss the best type of coffee for the morning to start your day off right.
Let’s dive straight in!
What Type Of Coffee Is Best In The Morning?
The best type of coffee to drink in the morning is a light roast. Light roast coffee has a lighter color and a more gentle flavor. Light roast coffee also is less acidic than dark roast coffee which can make it easier on your stomach first thing in the morning.
Light roast coffee is known for its sweet and smooth flavor, which makes it the perfect type of coffee to start your day off with.
It will give you a boost of energy to help you get moving, and its mild flavor will not overwhelm your palate.
Whereas dark roast coffee can be quite acidic and has a more intense flavor, light roast coffee is the perfect balance in my opinion.
Combine a cup of light roast coffee with a nice croissant or a bowl of oats and you have the perfect breakfast to start your day!
There are many different types of coffee you can make with a light roast blend.
You can make a traditional cup of coffee (additionally with cream and sugar, depending on your personal preference), or you can make a latte or cappuccino with milk and foam.
If you are looking for a plant based option, you can also make a light roast coffee with almond milk or coconut milk.
Another great option is oat milk as it has a creamy texture and nutty flavor.
My favorite light roast coffee blend is the Lavazza Organic Whole Bean Coffee Blend. It has a rich, smooth flavor and is perfect for any time of the day but especially the morning!
It is a coffee with a slightly fruity flavor that wakes me up right away. It also has a bit of a chocolatey finish which makes it even more enjoyable.
Another great morning coffee I enjoy very much is the McCafe Breakfast Blend. This light roast coffee has a very smooth and rich taste that is perfect for starting your day.
Whenever I visit McDonalds I always make sure to order a cup of coffee, so the fact that I can drink it at home now is a huge plus!
Best Morning Coffee Starbucks
If you’re in a hurry or not in the mood to make your own coffee, Starbucks also has a great morning coffee option. Their Pike Place Roast is a medium roast with a smooth, mild and balanced flavor. It’s an accessible and affordable option that is great for on the go.
It definitely is my personal go-to coffee when I’m on the go and need a quick caffeine fix.
If you’re looking for something a little bit more special and festive in the morning, Starbucks also has seasonal light roast coffees.
For example, their Christmas blend is a light roast with a hint of spice that is perfect for the winter season.
If you like, you can also ask to top your light roast coffee with a cinnamon or nutmeg. This will give it an extra boost of flavor!
Best Morning Coffee Dunkin Donuts
Another great coffee for the morning is the Original Blend from Dunkin’ Donuts. This coffee has a bright and fruity flavor that is perfect for starting your day. Dunkin’ Donuts also has a variety of other light roast coffees that are great for your breakfast routine.
Their Colombia Light Roast coffee is a smooth and balanced light roast with a nutty flavor.
And their Hazelnut Light Roast is a light roast with a sweet and nutty flavor that is perfect for a morning treat.
