The 10 best coffees in the supermarket

There is an exaggerated amount of premium brands and so-called private labels that we can find in the main supermarkets in Spain such as Mercadona, Lidl, Carrefour or Eroski.

Next, we will see the most recommended brands.

1. Bellarom by Lidl

It is the exclusive brand of the German supermarket and that is most consumed in Spain. Curiously, It is not an exclusive brand in the coffee sector, rather it is on the white label label. Its price is very cheap, being around 3 euros for 100 grams.

2. Bonka, from Nestlè

The company specialized in producing all kinds of chocolate products, with Swiss capital, is also the second most consumed brand in our country. There is a small negative point: its price. It costs almost twice as much as its competitors, about 7 euros for 100 grams.

3. Day, day

It is another own brand of the Spanish supermarket chain Dia, famous for its good value for money in all its products, and coffee could not be absent. According to the score given by users, it is very close to the first two.

4. Alipende, of Ahorramás

We found this brand in fourth place due to an important peculiarity. And is that its presence is scarce throughout the State. The Ahorramás supermarkets are only present in the Autonomous Communities of Madrid and Castilla-La Mancha. In those same provinces, it is the leading brand.

5. Aliada, from the English Court

In fifth place we have another national brand and our own brand. The El Corte Inglés shopping centers are not only famous for their fashion and electronics department stores, but also they have a gourmet supermarket section that has a wide range of food products.

6. Hacendado, from Mercadona

Mercadona coffee is another private label that embodies our list. It is curious how these types of products dominate the first positions in consumption of this drink. Farmer It is the own brand of the Valencian chain, at a good price, in addition. One of the best coffees for those who usually go to supermarkets.

7. Eroski Basic, by Eroski

Eroski also has its own brand of coffees and is among the 10 most recommended of all supermarkets. Unlike its rivals, this brand is priced well below the previous ones. Some consumers consider it somewhat bitter.

8. Nespresso, by Nestlè

Surprisingly, the brand championed by the famous actor George Clooney is not on the podium of recommendations to buy in supermarkets. Some consumers have alluded to the loss of flavor when it comes in capsule format (plastic) and not ground, and this is one of the reasons why it is not better valued.

9. The star

Interestingly, it is the least known brand by users. It is not usually found in common supermarkets. Not in vain, They have been producing coffee uninterruptedly in Spain for more than 120 years, offering multiple varieties to satisfy all tastes.

10. Marcilla, by Julián Marcilla

Another of the emblematic national brands. Founded as a family business in 1907 by Don Julián Marcilla, this coffee has earned a position among the 10 best coffees that we can find in supermarkets throughout the country. However, it gets the last place for a simple reason, and that is that it is the most expensive brand on the entire list, exceeding 10 euros each per kilo.
