★★★★★ 4.9/5 · Rated by our customers

Single-origin Arabica from Nicaragua, grown high in the mountains and hand-sorted so the defective beans never reach the bag. Café du Jour takes it to a medium roast, which keeps it mild: nutty through the middle, with a very light hint of fruit behind it. The beans are noticeably large and even, graded SHG EP, and they hold up in milk, so a cappuccino made with them still tastes of coffee rather than of warm milk.

Details

Nicaraguan Arabica, grown high up

This coffee comes from Nicaragua, where the plantations sit high in the mountains. The beans are graded SHG EP — Strictly High Grown and European Preparation — which is the trade's way of saying they were grown at altitude and then sorted to take the defects out. Ours are hand-sorted on top of that, so nothing broken or under-ripe ends up in the mix. You can see it in the bag: the beans are unusually large and remarkably even.

How it tastes

Mild and nutty, with a very light hint of fruit sitting underneath. The medium roast is what holds it there — far enough along to fill out the cup, not so far that it turns smoky or bitter. At 4 out of 13 on our strength scale it is one of the gentler coffees we sell, which makes it easy to drink black, first thing or last thing.

Brewing it

These are whole beans, so you need a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine. They work as an espresso and they work in milk — cappuccino and latte are where they show best, because the nuttiness carries through the milk instead of vanishing into it. Give yourself a little time to dial the grind in the first time round; a medium grind is the sensible place to start, then adjust by taste.

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!

What makes these beans special compared to other varieties?

This coffee consists of large, hand-sorted SHG (Strictly High Grown) EP (European Preparation) arabica beans from Nicaragua, grown at high altitude. Thanks to the extra hand sorting and careful selection, the beans are of high quality and virtually free from defects. This results in a unique, clean flavour and a remarkably pleasant experience according to many customers.

How would you describe the flavour of the Nicaragua 100% arabica coffee beans?

Our Nicaragua 100% arabica coffee beans have a mild, nutty flavour with a very light fruity undertone. Many customers find the coffee smooth, full of aroma and refined. The taste is accessible, yet distinctive enough to surprise enthusiasts. According to several reviews, these beans pair well with milk and are therefore very suitable for cappuccinos.

Are these coffee beans suitable for espresso, cappuccino or other brewing methods?

These beans are versatile and suitable for both espresso and milk-based drinks such as cappuccino and latte. Several customers say that the coffee pairs well with milk and forms a great base for cappuccinos. However, we do recommend experimenting a little with the grind size, as some users found it slightly more challenging to find the right grind with this product.

What should I pay attention to when brewing coffee with these beans?

We recommend paying extra attention to the grind size, especially if you are used to mainly making espressos. Some users find that it takes a little time to find the right setting for fresh and balanced coffee. Start with a medium grind size and adjust it to taste. Due to the freshness of the beans, the flavour profile may vary slightly from batch to batch; feel free to taste and experiment to achieve your preferred result.

Are the coffee beans light, medium, or dark roasted?

The Nicaragua 100% arabica coffee beans are medium roasted. They are therefore not too light or too dark, which ensures a beautiful balance between smoothness and strength, without the bean becoming bitter. This makes them very suitable for various coffee styles.
