Brazil 100% Arabica - Fresh coffee beans

Café du Jour's Brazil is a whole-bean coffee made entirely from arabica, with no robusta in the bag. Brazilian arabica is low in acidity and soft rather than sharp, so this is the taste most people already recognise as a good plain cup of coffee. That makes it the bag to buy for a machine several people share, and a sensible first step if you are leaving pre-ground supermarket coffee behind.
Brazilian arabica for a machine everybody uses
Brazil is the origin most people have already drunk without ever reading the label, and this is a bag of it: 100% arabica, whole bean, with no robusta blended in to push the strength up. Brazilian arabica is known for being low in acidity — no citrus bite, nothing that catches at the back of the throat — and on our own scale this one sits at 6 out of 13, the middle of the range, fuller than a thin breakfast cup and a long way off a heavy dark espresso.
Why we chose it
We went looking for a larger bean than the everyday standard and for an origin whose character is recognisable rather than unusual. That is what makes it work where one machine has to serve a lot of people: an office, a meeting room, a kitchen where somebody pulls an espresso and the next person fills a large mug. Nobody has to like it especially in order to drink it happily.
A first step away from ground coffee
If you have bought pre-ground coffee off a shelf for years and want to move to beans, this is a sensible first bag: you get what grinding fresh does for the aroma without landing on something fruity or fermented that takes getting used to. Whole beans, so you will need a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine.
