Dark Roast Brazil 100% Arabica - Fresh Coffee Beans

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!

This coffee is versatile and suitable for various brewing methods. Customers indicate that the beans can be used not only for espresso, but are also excellent for filter coffee. The intense, full flavour is well preserved, regardless of the method.

These beans are medium-dark to dark roasted, which may result in some oil being visible on the surface of the bean. This is characteristic of a dark roast and enhances the full, powerful flavour. Please note that some customers find the beans quite oily. We recommend regularly cleaning your coffee grinder when using dark, oily beans.

No, this coffee does not contain any acidity or fresh flavour notes. Many of our customers actually point out that the acidity is absent, which makes the coffee taste mainly full-bodied and strong, without the fresher acidity you find in some other coffees.

We roast our Dark Roast Brazil beans so that they are powerful in flavour without a burnt or unpleasantly bitter aftertaste. The taste is full and intense with clearly recognisable notes of nuts and dark chocolate. Compared to many other dark roasts, these beans are therefore not bitter or burnt, which is also confirmed by many of our customers.

You can use these beans in all coffee grinders and fully automatic machines. However, we recommend that you clean your fully automatic machine or (home) grinder regularly, as oily, dark roasted beans can leave residues. This prevents the build-up of oils and keeps your machine in good condition.
