★★★★★ 4.9/5 · Rated by our customers

Café du Jour's Central America is a medium-roasted blend of 100% arabica beans from Nicaragua and Guatemala. Two origins rather than one, because they pull in different directions: mild and rounded on one side, a little more bite and a hint of fruit on the other. The cup that comes out is fairly mild and never sharply bitter, which is why it survives being drunk all day.

Details

Central American coffee from two origins

This is Café du Jour's own Central America blend: 100% arabica from Nicaragua and Guatemala, roasted to a medium level. We use two origins rather than one because they do different things in the cup — one side mild and rounded, the other carrying a little more bite and a hint of fruit — and together they make something easier to drink through a whole day than either would be on its own.

How it tastes

Mild and only lightly bitter, with the fruit sitting underneath rather than on top. At 5 out of 13 on our strength scale it lands just below the middle: enough body to hold its own in a large mug of filter coffee, not so much that it turns harsh when you pull it short.

Who it is for

Central American coffee is usually where people end up when a dark Italian-style roast is too heavy and a very light roast tastes thin. A medium roast of pure arabica keeps the acidity moderate and the bitterness low, so one bag can cover a household where one person drinks it black and another buries it in milk.

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!

What are the main flavour characteristics of the Central America 100% arabica coffee beans?

This blend combines mildness, a slight bitterness and fruity notes. Many customers experience a full, balanced flavour with subtle chocolate and caramel notes and a slight acidity. The coffee is not overly bitter and is described as aromatic, suitable for lovers of mild yet flavourful coffee.

Are the Central American beans suitable for espresso, cappuccino and other brewing methods?

Yes, these coffee beans are versatile. Customers report having successfully brewed the beans in a fully automatic machine, percolator, filter machine, and for espresso and cappuccino. The balance of flavour makes this blend suitable for various brewing methods.

How dark are these beans roasted and are they suitable for lovers of both light and dark roasted coffee?

These beans are medium roasted: not very dark, but not very light either. Some customers describe the roast as being on the bold side with a roasted aftertaste; others find them perfectly balanced. If you are a fan of extremely light or very dark coffees, this product is probably less suitable. If you are looking for a mild, yet full and balanced coffee, this is an excellent choice.

Are the beans greasy or oily, and what effect does this have on my coffee machine?

The Central America blend contains dry beans that are not greasy or oily. This means they are perfectly suitable for use in fully automatic machines and other coffee machines; they do not cause extra maintenance due to fat deposits.
