Café du Jour Guatemala coffee is a single origin: 100% Arabica grown high in the Guatemalan hills and taken to a slightly dark roast. Altitude is what shapes it — cherries ripen slowly up there, and slow ripening builds the fruit and the acidity you end up tasting. Next to an everyday blend it comes across as fruitier and clearly less bitter, different enough to be worth trying on purpose.

Details

A single origin from the Guatemalan highlands

Café du Jour Guatemala coffee is 100% Arabica from one country, with nothing blended in and a roast taken a touch past medium.

Why the altitude shows up in the cup

These beans are grown high. The air is cooler there, the cherry takes longer to ripen, and a slowly ripened cherry puts more sugar and more acid into the seed inside it. The bean comes out denser and harder than a low-grown one, and that is what you taste: more fruit, more brightness, much less of the flat bitterness that low-grown coffee tends to carry.

How it drinks

Fruitier than the coffee most of us keep in the cupboard, and noticeably less bitter, with the slightly dark roast holding it back towards something familiar so it never turns thin or sour. At 9 out of 13 on our strength scale it has real presence in the cup. If you have only ever drunk blends, give it a few cups before you judge it — it is not a subtle change, and it rewards a bit of experimenting with your dose and grind.

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 the Guatemala coffee beans oily or dry and what does this mean for my coffee machine?

Our Guatemala beans are not oily, but rather on the dry side. That is good news for the maintenance of your (fully automatic) coffee machine, as dry beans result in less oil build-up in the grinder. Many customers appreciate this because it makes maintenance and cleaning easier.

The flavour is fruitier or more acidic than I am used to. Can I adjust this?

If the coffee is too fruity or acidic for your taste, you can easily experiment with the grind size, dosage, and brewing time. By setting the grind a bit coarser and possibly choosing a slightly lower coffee strength, the fresh character becomes softer and milder. Each brewing method can provide a slightly different taste experience. Any questions about this? Feel free to contact us for personalised brewing advice!

Is this coffee suitable for all brewing methods? And what is your brewing advice for the best result?

Yes, the Guatemala 100% arabica beans are suitable for various brewing methods, such as fully automatic machines, filter coffee (V60, AeroPress), and moka pot. Many customers enjoy brewing this coffee as filter coffee because of its fruity, smooth flavour. Our advice: experiment with the grind size and extraction time, especially if the coffee tastes too strong or too acidic. A slightly coarser grind and lower dosage bring out the best in these beans and can reduce any fresh, acidic notes.

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

Our Guatemala 100% arabica coffee beans are characterised by a fruity, full and smooth flavour experience with little bitterness. There are notes of mildness and a slight freshness, sometimes with hints of vanilla or floral notes. Many customers describe the coffee as full of aroma, with a smooth finish and a unique character. Please note: compared to our other coffees, this coffee has a slightly fruity acidity, which may take some getting used to for certain coffee drinkers.
