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.

Details

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.

FAQ
Customer Questions
What is the roast date?

The roast date of Café du Jour's coffee beans is usually a maximum of four weeks before dispatch. This means that the coffee beans are generally no older than four weeks when they arrive at your door.

Many people ask if coffee beans are already too old after three weeks. The answer to that is: no. Freshly roasted coffee actually reaches its best flavour after a few weeks. During roasting, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is created inside the coffee beans, which can mask the taste at first. That is why coffee is at its best between one and four weeks after roasting.

After roasting, the beans are immediately packed in special coffee bags with a one-way valve. This valve allows CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen in, so the aromas are preserved and the coffee remains fresh. This way, you can count on an optimally fresh product with a full flavour!

Are these Brazil 100% arabica coffee beans suitable for fully automatic coffee machines and espresso machines?
Yes, these coffee beans are very suitable for use in both fully automatic coffee machines and (semi-)automatic espresso machines. Many of our customers use these beans at the office or at home in fully automatic machines and are enthusiastic about the results. These beans are also very well suited for espresso machines and filter coffee.
What can I expect from the flavour and aroma of these coffee beans?
The Brazil 100% arabica coffee beans are characterised by a smooth, mild and full flavour, often with nutty and slightly chocolatey notes. In the aftertaste you will notice a light sweetness with a hint of fruit and sometimes a subtle acidity. The coffee is not bitter and not distinctly acidic, making it a real crowd-pleaser. Many customers appreciate its elegant aroma, the robust crema and its slightly fresh character.
What if I have a different taste experience (for example too acidic, too light or too fruity)?
Flavour experience is very personal and can depend on your coffee machine, grind size and brewing method. Some customers occasionally experience a slight fruitiness or acidity, especially with a coarser grind or insufficient extraction. Our advice is to experiment with the grind size and brewing time to achieve the desired result. If you prefer a stronger or darker flavour, we also have darker roasted varieties in our range.
Are these coffee beans mild or strong? Is the coffee suitable for cappuccino or espresso?
These coffee beans have a strong intensity, but the flavour is still nicely balanced and not overwhelmingly bitter. This makes the bean suitable for both a mild black coffee and for cappuccino, espresso, lungo or latte macchiato. Several customers indicate that the beans are particularly well suited for cappuccinos, thanks to the rounded flavour and full aroma.
