A dark roast from Brazil, sold as fresh whole beans. The 100% Arabica beans come out dark brown with a light sheen of oil rather than the near-black, scorched look of a heavier roast, so you get a strong cup without the burnt edge. Expect the nuttiness that good Brazilian coffee is known for, a thick, rounded mouthfeel and dark chocolate on the finish.

Details

Brazil coffee beans, roasted dark. This is the Café du Jour 100% Arabica from Brazil taken to the darker end of our roasting range and sold as fresh whole beans.

Flavour

The nutty character that runs through good Brazilian coffee comes forward first, with dark chocolate behind it and a mouthfeel that is noticeably thicker and rounder than a lighter roast gives you. It is a strong cup — 10 out of 13 on our scale — but the roast stops short of bitterness, so there is none of the burnt, ashy edge that puts people off dark-roasted coffee.

How dark is this roast?

Dark Roast is this coffee's place in our range: it is the darker of our two Brazil roasts, and the roasting itself stops at the medium-dark point rather than running all the way to the end. You can see that in the bean, which is dark brown rather than black and carries a touch of oil on the surface. It is enough roast development for depth, body and the chocolate note, but not so much that the origin burns away — which is why the Brazilian nuttiness still reads clearly in the cup.

If you prefer it lighter

The same 100% Arabica Brazil is also available at a lighter roast. Choose that one for more acidity and a cleaner cup; choose this one if you want weight, chocolate and a traditional dark-roast flavour.

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!

Is this coffee suitable for filter coffee or only for espresso?

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.

Are the Dark Roast Brazil coffee beans very greasy or oily?

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.

Does this coffee have a fresh or acidic flavour like some other Brazilian coffees?

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.

Does this dark roast result in a bitter or burnt taste in the coffee?

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.

Can I use these beans in a fully automatic machine or coffee grinder, despite the dark roast?

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.
