Café du Jour Colombia is a 100% Arabica coffee, produced on a small scale and hand-sorted before it is packed, so broken and under-ripe beans are picked out rather than left in the batch. In the cup it is aromatic and balanced: a medium body, medium acidity and a sweet finish that stays with you. There is enough structure for a single-origin espresso, and enough sweetness to carry through a filter.

Details

This is a single-origin Colombian coffee from Café du Jour: 100% Arabica, produced on a small scale and hand-sorted before packing, so broken, discoloured and under-ripe beans are taken out by hand instead of being roasted along with the rest. That sorting is the main reason the cup tastes clean rather than muddy.

How it tastes

The aroma is soft and sweet as soon as the bag is open. In the cup you get a medium body — neither thin nor syrupy — and medium acidity, the brightness that keeps a Colombian coffee lively instead of flat. The finish is sweet and lingers a little. On the Café du Jour scale it sits at 8 out of 13: enough backbone for a short espresso, mild enough to drink right through the morning.

How to drink it

That balance makes it an easy bean to use in more than one way. As a single-origin espresso it gives a sweet, rounded shot; through a filter or a cafetière the aroma and the sweetness come forward most clearly. With milk it stays recognisable, because the acidity cuts through instead of disappearing.

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!

How would you best describe the flavour of the Colombia 100% arabica beans?

This coffee has a refined aroma, a medium body, a pleasant, light acidity and an enjoyable sweet aftertaste. Many customers also mention soft chocolate and fruity notes and find the coffee full of flavour, yet not bitter or too strong. Some people describe the aftertaste as slightly acidic.

Are these coffee beans suitable for espresso, lungo or cappuccino?

Yes, these beans are extremely suitable for various brewing methods. They are widely used for espresso, lungo, and according to customers, are also very suitable for cappuccino and latte macchiato. The flavour remains full and strong, yet smooth, which makes it versatile. The beans also come into their own in a French press or percolator.

Can these beans taste acidic?

Due to the medium roast and the natural characteristics of Colombian Arabica beans, the coffee may have a light, fresh acidity. Only a few customers find the aftertaste a little too acidic; most find the coffee nicely balanced and not too acidic or bitter.
