Coffee Pairings with Food

When you are a true coffee lover, there is nothing that can stop you from enjoying your savory brew with any meal of the day, but have you ever truly wondered what it takes to select the best and boldest roast for you that will enhance the flavor of whatever meal you were eating? The answer is now simple with our technologically advanced coffee pairing method that will show you the best personalization of your daily coffee with each meal of the day, ranging from light to robust. We here at The Coffee Bump hope that you also take our state of the art Java Questionnaire, because that is an integral part of using your own specifically customized flavor profile to pair it with the best coffee choice for you at any time or meal of the day. Bon appétit!
  1. Breakfast: We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so be sure to select the perfect blend with the right amount of lightness to start your day.
    If you like:
    • Toast, cereal, and muffins -- go for a light Central or South American blend. Perfect for Cinnamon Roasters and City Roasters.
    • Eggs, bacon, and sausage -- look for a medium Costa Rican roast that will not give you too much bitterness. Preferred by Viennese and French Roasters.
    • Pancakes and waffles -- select a medium blend that is well-balanced but intense enough to satiate your thirst, like a blend from Panama or Mexico. Perfect for Spanish roasters.
  2. Lunch: Everyone needs a little midday pick-me -up, so make sure that the coffee that you are selecting will perfectly complement your roast type and taste palette.
    If you like:
    • A soup and salad combo -- try the Yemeni roast because it is a little drier and sweeter to give you the delightful taste you are looking for. Heads up Cinnamon Roasters!
    • A quick sandwich and a bag of chips -- look for a Colombian roast that is medium bodied but still full and rich to compliment the saltiness of your meal. Ideal for City Roasters and Viennese Roasters.
    • Chinese or Asian take-out -- go for a cup of mild to medium Ethiopian roast that will give you a rich and spicy addition to go well with the taste of your meal. Usually good for French and Spanish Roasters.
  3. Mid-Afternoon: This is just the right time for you to have a little afternoon snack and a cup of Joe to keep your day going at full speed ahead. Be sure to choose the best type for you!
    If you like:
    • Biscotti or other cookie - look for a medium Brazilian roast that will give you a spicy and lingering flavor profile to offset the taste of your cookie. Often chosen by Cinnamon Roasters or City Roasters.
    • Fresh fruit or trail mix -- look for a heavier Guatemalan roast that will give you a lively and chocolatey taste to perfectly carry forth your afternoon treat. Ideal for Viennese Roasters.
    • A salty snack like chips or crackers -- the best roast for you would be the exotic Java Roast that will give you a smoky and mellow taste that best compliments fresh cheeses and salty foods. Loved by French and Spanish Roasters.
  4. Dinner: This is the time to sit back and relax and recharge for an evening ahead. Select a magnificent and comparable roast type that best suits your personality so that you are satisfied.
    • Grilled chicken and a fresh salad - the best roast for you is a Haitian blend that is dark yet still has bold and rich flavors that go well with any fresh and clean meal. Perfect for Cinnamon Roasters and City Roasters.
    • Indian or Thai food -- look for a roast such as the Kenyan blend that will bring out any fresh fruit accents or spices within your meal and give you an intense flavor profile. Chosen often by Viennese Roasters.
    • Meat and potatoes -- you will need a full and smoky Sumatran blend to give you an earthy and natural taste to your selected brew. Hailed by French and Spanish Roasters.
  5. Desserts and after dinner drinks: This is where your day comes to a close and you need a perfect coffee delight to sip as you relax for the evening. You won't be led astray!
    • Coffee cake or a cookie dessert -- look for the Hawaiian Kona blend that has sweet cinnamon spices to go perfectly with baked goods. Loved by Cinnamon and City Roasters.
    • A fresh fruit pie or tart -- go for a perfectly balanced Jamaican blend, which is both rich and full and pairs well with fresh fruit desserts. Chosen by Viennese Roasters.
    • Chocolate cake or cheesecake -- look for any dark African or Arabian blend that will give you a syrupy and cocoa-like taste of a decadent dark roast. Perfect for French and Spanish Roasters.
