41 reviews

Simple, but far from plain, our best seller original gold is gold coffee in its purest form. Its smooth, nutty flavor tastes great solo or with your favorite add-ins.

BEANS WITHOUT THE BURN:

Golden Ratio takes everything you love about a cup of coffee and makes it better. We roast our coffee beans at lower temperatures to create a smooth “tea-like” coffee to naturally perk up any coffee drinker's day. Golden Ratio is a healthy alternative to dark roast coffee which is bad for your teeth and gut.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS: ENJOY HOT OR COLD

Hot Brew

  1. Pour 8oz of boiling water over one Golden Ratio coffee pouch in a mug.
  2. Steep for 5-10 minutes (longer = stronger).
  3. Enjoy black (we call it "gold") or with your favorite add-ins, like steamed milk to make a golden latte.

Cold Brew

  1. Submerge one Golden Ratio coffee pouch in 8oz of water. If batching in a pitcher, add one pouch for every 8oz of water added.
  2. Refrigerate for 12-18 hours (longer = stronger). We recommend letting it steep while you sleep!
  3. Remove coffee pouch, add ice and enjoy black or with your favorite add-ins. For optimal freshness and flavor, drink within 48 hours of brewing and discard any remaining cold brew after 7 days.

    Great Product

    Love to mix this up with my regular coffee intake. Usually have the gold coffee on weekend mornings. It’s a nice change from the stronger coffee I drink.

    Bleh, and no wakeup

    I love tea, so was very interested and open to trying Golden Ratio. The coffee is strange- the smell is reminiscent of old, nutty chocolate or something in that realm. As someone with a sensitive nose, it took me a few tries to gag it down. Although GR touts higher caffeine due ro less processing, I've had two cups often and feel minimal difference in the mornings. I'm glad to support small businesses, but this one admittedly wasn't my favorite. 5 stars for customer service and communications, though!

    Excellent Brew

    Love this stuff, been drinking it for the better part of year now. It has a nutty flavor that blend well with maple syrup which I prefer to use to sweeten my coffee.

    Have questions? We have answers

    +What is Golden Ratio?
    Golden Ratio is a low acid, lighter tasting alternative to traditional black coffee. Our "gold roasted" coffee beans are roasted at lower temperatures to create a smooth tea-like coffee, gold in color, with no loss of caffeine!
    +How does your 30-day money-back guarantee work?
    If you are dissatisfied with your order in any way, you can get a full refund no questions asked. Just email us at support@drinkgoldenratio.com and we'll take care of you.
    +Is it organic?
    Our our premium shade grown coffee does not have a certification. Getting organic certified often comes at too high of a cost for independent farmers.
    +How much caffeine is gold coffee?
    Golden Ratio coffee has about 100 mg of caffeine per 8 oz serving.
    +What does gold coffee taste like?
    Gold coffee has been described as both “tea for coffee people” and “coffee for tea people.” It’s lighter than black coffee with no bitterness, and tastes like a wonderfully rich tea with a hint of coffee.
    +You say gold coffee is 5x less acidic. What is that in comparison to?
    Golden Ratio tests at a pH of 6 (similar to earl grey tea), whereas most other coffees test closer to 5 (more acidic). pH is measured on a logarithmic scale, which means one point higher is actually 10x greater, but we say 5x because occasionally the difference in pH between gold coffee and regular coffee is less than a point.

    When you drink Golden Ratio, you immediately taste the difference in acidity with regular coffee. Gold coffee goes down incredibly smooth with no astringent feeling in your mouth and throat.
    +Do you have decaf?
    At this time we don’t offer a decaf option, but we may add one in the future.
    +Where are your coffee beans sourced from?
    Golden Ratio gets its coffee beans from our roasters, who source from independent farms in Nicaragua, Brazil, and Ethiopia.
    +How do I know that the coffee I'm buying from Golden Ratio is fresh?
    Golden Ratio nitro-flushes and heat seals each bag to ensure freshness for up to 12 months.
