Hey, I’ve been trying to experiment more with coffee lately and want to learn more about how to pair different types of coffee with food. I usually just drink coffee with a quick snack, but I’m curious if certain coffee flavors go better with specific dishes. Does anyone have any tips on pairing coffee with food? I’ve heard some coffees pair well with chocolate or even breakfast dishes. What are your experiences with this?

great question! Pairing coffee with food is an art, and it’s fun to experiment with different combinations. For example, if you’re drinking a rich, bold cup of specialty coffee, something like a dark roast from Peru could pair well with rich, chocolatey desserts. The coffee’s deep flavor complements the sweetness of chocolate, creating a nice balance.
When pairing coffee with food, think about the flavors in both—the coffee’s acidity, body, and flavor profile should match or contrast the flavors in the dish. For more inspiration on what works best, I found a great resource about different coffee and food pairings:Specialty coffee

I also enjoy pairing a light roast with fruit-based desserts—like a lemon tart or berries with whipped cream. The bright, fruity notes of the coffee really complement the freshness of the fruit.
It’s always fun to play around with different coffee flavors and food textures.
