Gorilla Café Creme Coffee Beans box discount

Gorilla Café Creme is the mildest of the Gorilla beans at Café du Jour: 100% arabica beans with a light roast, for coffee that is full-bodied but gentle. The light blue 1 kg bag reads ‘mild intensity’ and ‘light roast’.

What does Gorilla Café Creme taste like?

Gorilla Café Creme brings together the elegance of blossom, the sweetness of berries and the softness of honey. Joerges describes it as a balance between a rich aroma and a mild roast, with a pleasantly restrained acidity. On our scale it scores 4 out of 13, and Gorilla gives it an intensity of 4 out of 10.

Filter coffee or bean-to-cup?

Gorilla Café Creme is intended for filter coffee and bean-to-cup machines, the two brewing methods Joerges recommends for this blend. Drink it black or turn it into a café au lait, as Joerges suggests. Its soft profile makes it an easy start for newcomers, while experienced drinkers get a mild coffee that still has body.

Arabica from Latin America and Asia

The arabica in Gorilla Café Creme comes from growing regions in Latin America and Asia. Like Gorilla Crema No.1, it contains arabica beans only. Gorilla is the house brand A. Joerges launched in 2004, and the company supports the Mondberge initiative in Uganda, which works on education, mountain gorilla protection and reforestation.
