★★★★★ 4.8/5 · Loved by 120,000+ coffee lovers

Arabica from Peru, grown under shade trees at 1,200 metres and higher. The shade slows the cherries down, and slow growth makes for a denser bean — which is where the mild, smooth character of this coffee comes from. There is no sharp edge anywhere in it, so it is easy to drink black and equally at home under milk. Whole beans, 100% Arabica.

Details

Peru coffee beans

This Arabica is grown in Peru at 1,200 metres above sea level and higher, under a canopy of shade trees rather than out in open sun. The shade keeps the temperature down and the cherries ripen more slowly for it. Slow ripening packs more into the bean, and a denser bean is what gives this coffee its character.

In the cup

Mild and noticeably smooth, with nothing sharp in it anywhere. That makes it easy company through the day: a black mug of it does not wear you down the way a keener, more acidic coffee can by the third cup. At 7 out of 13 on our strength scale it sits just above the middle — clearly there, never heavy.

Brewing it

Whole beans, so you will need a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine. Filter and cafetière suit it particularly well, as both give the smoothness room to show. As espresso it pulls soft and even rather than sharp. Under milk, in a cappuccino or a latte, it stays gentle instead of pushing through, which is exactly what some people want and others do not.

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 also suitable for beginner coffee drinkers or for people with a fully automatic machine?

Yes, 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.

Are these Peru coffee beans suitable for both espresso and cappuccino?

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.

How would you best describe the flavour of these Peru 100% arabica coffee beans?

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.

Does the flavour of the coffee change after opening?

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.
