Top 5 Mold-Free Coffee Brands

Did you know nearly half of all coffee beans can be tainted by toxic mold?

Not only is mold just gross, but molds can produce mycotoxins which cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, anxiety, irritability, and stomach issues. Mold can get in coffee beans during any stage, from harvesting to storing in your kitchen.

As a daily coffee drinker, this fact naturally sent me down a rabbit hole to find the most quality beans. I found several trusted brands that offer lab-tested, mold-free beans who also prioritize quality with their organic and fair-trade beans that I’m happy to share with you in this blog post.

Here are some tips to avoid mold in your coffee beans, my favorite brands, and a recipe for my at home, sea salt flat white.

Tips to Avoid Moldy Coffee:

• Go for high-quality, lab-tested beans (see my recommendations below)

• Store beans in a dark, airtight container for up to six months.

• Avoid instant coffee.

• For decaf, choose Swiss water processed beans (this process doesn’t tend to mold as easily)

• Clean your coffee maker regularly.

My Favorite Mold-Free Coffee Brands:

• Purity

• Biodynamic

• Spirit Animal

• Danger

• Bulletproof

My Flat White Recipe:

I love starting my days with a cold plunge and a (two, to be exact) homemade flat white.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz espresso (half decaf Purity, half regular Biodynamic)

• 1/4 cup raw milk

• 1 tsp Natural Force MCT oil

• Sea salt and cinnamon

Instructions:

Brew 2 oz espresso (I use half regular, half decaf Purity beans), add frothed milk, a bit of MCT oil, a heavy dash of Ceylon Cinnamon and Redmond's real salt.

Enjoy!
