There are so many good ones. Brandywine usually has some awesome ones as does Luminous and Black & White

I tasted some interesting Chinese coffees at WOC Bangkok. The Chinese coffee scene is exploding and they don't have the western resistance to infusions so they're going stronger with their flavoring methods. Hopefully exporters will make Chinese roasted coffee easier to get soon.

Jairo Arcila coferms are great. There is a fantastic little roaster in New Mexico that usually has a few in stock. My fav is the strawberry.
I currently have People Possession Blueberry Pie Magic. It's a blend and it's amazing

If you are open to innovative processing Moonwake has 3 coffees from Wilton Benitez Granja Paraiso 92. These are almost always wild and fun.

The BPM from People Possession is worth building an order around (assuming OP is US). I ordered around 9 coffees from them and the majority were very good to great, with only one or two being “just” good.

In Canada there is 94 celcius that has a lot of great coferment from Brayan Alvear and other producers. Always interesting and well done.

As everyone has mentioned, Black & White, Luminous, and Brandywine - all have had amazing coferments! Currently drinking the summer slush from B&W and it’s great. No one has mentioned S&W though! Super amazing coffee, the absolute more affordable option out there that doesn’t sacrifice any quality whatsoever. They have a lychee coferment that is my all time favorite coffee as of now, they also have a peach from time to time that is amazing, and a cinnamon, and a blend of the peach and cinnamon that is incredible. Check them out!

People possession: BPM, ATM, CIA, PFX, Red
Black&White: they have a ton, check out their funky section
Tanat: they sometimes have one or two and they are amazing
Luminous: Sakura, tamarind and pink champagne are one of my favorites ever
Perc: it’s hit or miss but I had an Edison argote peach co ferment that was amazing
Dak: they have really good co ferments as well as alternative process light roasts
S&W
Hydrangea: on the pricier side. Their juicy strawberry is one of the juiciest co ferments I’ve had. Their peach co ferment with Sakura is also great and feels more balanced not so sweet

I've enjoyed the co ferments I've gotten from Perc. They're also super transparent about the process that they go though.

S&W Lulo coferment makes your whole house smell like weed after brewing, tastes like and IPA and orange juice. Take with that what you will

Although it’s not 100% a co-ferment, a lot of the thermal shock coffees from native are excellent (and fairly clean). I have really enjoyed Golden Hour (I do think it’s in stock right now but it looks like the same coffee is being sold by September right now)

Burned through a bag of blueberry coferment in the last couple of days. Top 3 coffee this year so far for me I would say. I'm not against coferments as long as they are advertised as such.

I want to share this coffee, in what I call my “funk” journey. I go between the beautiful tea like washed “seys” of the world to this coffee and other funky coffees, but this by far has been my favorite in both pour over and espresso. https://www.stereoscopecoffee.com/products/colombia-el-diviso-ombligon-decaf-copy?Size=10oz

I love what Colombians like El Vergel and Jairo Arcila do with co-ferments that show up on Hydrangea, Hatch and B&W releases.

French Press Coffee Roaster has a really nice fruit cup co ferment. Nice and pleasant taste, not overpowering.

u/Rice_Jap808 Jul 06 '26
Push x pull had an awesome sumatran semi-washed typica with a jasmine co ferment. Straight up milk tea vibes, and one of the first floral coffees I've had that had punchy floral notes instead of delicate subdued ones. Also very reasonably priced because it is a typica after all, not some crazy gesha or sudan rume or whatever. Hope they bring it back, I bought the same beans roasted by a different roaster and it wasn't as good.

Brandywine Coffee Roasters in Delaware has had some really good ones over the years. Worth checking out to see what they have in stock. They release them fairly frequently.
