The source gathers fifteen personal favourites from its 2020 coffee reviews, arranged in the order they were reviewed. That is a retrospective selection, not a controlled blind comparison or a live list of products available today.
The introduction identifies interests that shaped the year: experimental processing, distinctive varieties and an increased appreciation for blends. Those preferences help explain why certain intense or unusual coffees appear prominently. Another drinker with different priorities might choose a very different set.
Use the list to discover producers, roasters or styles to investigate, then check current lot information separately. BeanScene has not sampled the selection. A historical favourite can be valuable as a record of a particular coffee and taste, while old offers, rankings and availability claims should not be carried forward as if unchanged.
