Peru 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!

Certainly! Customer reviews show that these Peru beans perform excellently in both fully automatic machines and espresso machines. Even beginner coffee drinkers appreciate the forgiving nature of this bean: the result is often very tasty, even with less-than-perfect settings. The beans produce a beautiful crema layer and are easy to adjust.

Yes, these beans are very versatile and are often brewed by customers as espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato and regular filter coffee. Many reviews indicate that the beans are particularly well suited for use with milk, thanks to their mild yet pronounced flavour and the beautiful creamy crema layer.

This coffee has a smooth yet full flavour with subtle notes of chocolate, vanilla and a light spiciness. The beans produce a beautiful crema and are often experienced as mild to strong, without a bitter or sour aftertaste. Customers particularly appreciate the refined, rounded and balanced character. For those who enjoy an intense espresso or a gentle cappuccino, these beans are highly suitable.

Because these beans are so fresh, some customers notice a slight change in flavour a few days after opening the packaging. However, thanks to the resealable packaging with a valve, the beans stay fresh for longer. For the best results, we recommend storing the beans in an airtight container and using them within a few weeks of opening.
