Consumer Reports recently released the results of its massive java-tasting study, and Gloria Jean's and Newman's Own Organics beat out all others in the Best Colombian Coffee category. The brands even beat out 2009's winner, Eight O'Clock Coffee.
Best-selling brands like Folgers and Maxwell House didn't fare so well in the Consumer Reports coffee study, scoring a middling Fair rating. "The new Colombian champs offered fairly complex, well-balanced flavors that our experts found stronger and fruitier than the flavors of most others we tasted," said Gayle Williams, the deputy health editor of Consumer Reports.
