A Brazilian coffee from the Cerrado plateau, slowly roasted by Café du Jour to a medium roast. It is a sweet, smooth cup: a touch of fruit, a note of honey and a nutty aroma behind it, with very little bite. Mild enough to drink black without sugar, and easy-going enough to suit whatever machine you already have on the counter. 100% Arabica, whole beans.

Details

Brazilian coffee beans from the Cerrado

The Arabica for this coffee is grown on the Cerrado plateau in Brazil. Café du Jour roasts it slowly to a medium roast, which keeps the sweetness in the bean and stops it tipping over into smoke and bitterness.

In the cup

Sweet and smooth, with a hint of fruit, a note of honey and a nutty aroma running underneath. At 5 out of 13 on our strength scale it sits at the gentle end, and there is no sharp edge anywhere in it — which is exactly why it works black. A plain mug of it, no milk and no sugar, is where this bean shows what it can do. Put it in a flat white and the honey and nuts largely disappear behind the milk.

Making it

These are whole beans, so you will want a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine. It takes to most methods — filter, cafetière, or espresso if you like a shot that is softer than a dark Italian roast — but filter and cafetière give the honey and nut notes the most room to show themselves.

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 coffee beans suitable for both espresso and cappuccino?
Yes, the Cerrado beans are highly versatile. They are perfectly suited for making a balanced espresso, but also perform excellently in milk-based coffees, such as cappuccino or latte. In both cases, you will taste the characteristic smooth and sweet flavour, while the coffee retains enough strength.
Do these beans work well in both fully automatic and semi-automatic machines?
Yes, these beans are suitable for both fully automatic and semi-automatic coffee machines. Many customers note that it is easy to achieve the right grind profile and that the flavour and crema are consistently good, regardless of the type of machine.
What are the main flavour characteristics of the Café du Jour Cerrado coffee beans?
Our Cerrado coffee beans are known for their full and mild flavour with little bitterness and virtually no acidic notes. The beans produce a smooth, lightly sweet coffee with subtle hints of nuts and chocolate and a beautiful crema layer. This makes the coffee particularly suitable for lovers of accessible and balanced coffee flavours.
Are the Cerrado coffee beans acidic or bitter in flavour?
No, these coffee beans are carefully medium roasted, so they hardly taste bitter or sour. Many customers particularly appreciate the mild flavour without sharp acidity or a bitter aftertaste. This way, you can enjoy a pleasant and accessible cup of coffee day in, day out.
