★★★★★ 4.9/5 · Rated by our customers

A freshly roasted Ethiopian coffee, 100% Arabica, with the fruit and flowers the origin is known for and a light spice that only shows up in the finish. The cup is full without being heavy: medium body, medium acidity, and nothing cutting across the aroma. Sold as whole beans, so you can grind it to suit whatever you brew it in.

Details

Freshly roasted Ethiopian coffee

Ethiopia is the original home of Arabica coffee, and this is a straight Arabica from that origin, roasted fresh and sold as whole beans. The profile is recognisably Ethiopian: fruit first, flowers just behind it, and a light spice that only turns up in the aftertaste.

The cup is full without being weighty. Body and acidity both sit in the middle, which keeps the fruit lively rather than sharp and stops the floral side turning thin. With no Robusta in the blend, nothing cuts across the aroma, so what you taste is the origin rather than the roast. It comes in at 8 out of 13 on our scale: clearly present, but built around aroma rather than force.

Brewing it

The mid-weight body and the medium acidity make it easy to place. Through a filter or a pour-over the fruit and the floral note separate out and the spice stays in the background. Pulled as an espresso the same flavours arrive concentrated, and the acidity is what keeps a short shot from tasting flat. It will take milk, though the floral side largely disappears under it.

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 different brewing methods, such as espresso, cappuccino, filter or French press?

Yes, these beans are particularly versatile and customers enjoy them for espresso, cappuccino and lungo, but also for filter coffee and cafetière/French press. However, some do note that the result with filter coffee varies depending on grind size and brewing time. For French press and filter, we recommend experimenting with grind and brewing time for the best result. For espresso and milk-based drinks, the full and balanced flavour comes into its own beautifully.

What are the main flavour characteristics of these Ethiopia 100% arabica coffee beans?

This coffee has a full, slightly fruity and floral flavour with a lightly spiced finish. Many customers notice a smooth, non-bitter taste, sometimes with nutty or chocolate notes and a slight acidity. The beans are roasted medium to slightly darker, which ensures a balanced, intense flavour without being overpowering.

Which grind size should I use for cold brew with this Ethiopian coffee?

For cold brew, a coarse grind works best: roughly the texture of coarse sea salt or raw sugar. With a long steep of around 20 hours in cold water the coffee extracts evenly, so you avoid over-extraction and bitterness. Grind too fine and your cold brew turns cloudy and sharp, and it barely passes through the filter.

Café du Jour 100% arabica Ethiopia is a great match here: its fruity, floral notes come through beautifully in cold water. If you would rather order it pre-ground, pick the coarsest grind we offer. After steeping, strain the coffee through a paper filter and keep your cold brew sealed in the fridge.
