Updated August 2025
I personally don’t drink coffee but my husband loves it, so I went in search of brands that are organic and mold free. These are my top 3 choices, in no particular order. The prices for all three can be as low as around $20 per bag if you choose subscribe and save from their websites, linked below. All brands have decaf or less caffeinated options.

Testing by Mamavation found this: “Purity Coffee Flow — 2-phenylphenol (SP) 0.015 mg/kg found in the coffee. Alternatively reported as 15 ppb of 2-phenylphenol. This chemical is considered an antimicrobial agent used as a bacteriostat, fungicide, and sanitizer. 2-phenylphenol is a broad-spectrum fungicide used to protect crops in storage from developing mold and mycotoxins. This substance has a low oral mammalian toxicity, is a neurotoxin, and is a recognized irritant. 2-phenylphenol in not allowable in USDA organic standards, however this is not proof that it’s an added chemical because it can also arise as a contaminant in the roasting process. Our lab did NOT find any trace of mycotoxins, mold, yeast, or the 40 PFAS analytes we specifically tested for.”
