This is our own South American coffee: a blend made entirely from Arabica beans grown across the continent. One of the two beans carries the mild, smooth half of the cup and the other the spicier edge, and together they stay light on the palate without turning bland. A faint smokiness runs through the finish. An everyday South American coffee rather than a dark, heavy espresso blend, sold as whole beans.

Details

South American coffee has a reputation for being easy to drink, and that is the starting point for this blend: 100% Arabica from the South American growing regions, put together as a Café du Jour house blend.

Rather than lean on a single origin, we combine two bean characters. The first is mild and smooth, the sort of coffee that goes down without asking anything of you. The second is spicier and gives the cup its edge. Our strength scale runs from 1 to 13, and this one sits at 8 out of 13: a little above the middle, with enough behind it to stand up on its own but well short of a dark Italian espresso roast. The spice arrives late, and the finish carries a faint smokiness.

How it drinks

Black is where that smoky note is clearest, and where the mild half of the blend keeps the cup from turning harsh over a refill or two. With milk it is the spice that carries through, so the coffee does not disappear into a milky drink the way a very gentle blend can. It comes as whole beans, so you grind to suit the method: an espresso grind gives it more body, a coarser filter or cafetière grind lets the lighter side show.

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!

How would you describe the flavour of this South American blend? Are there any specific notes or flavours that stand out?

According to our customers, this blend has a beautiful balance between mild and strong, with a full, smooth flavour and a creamy, non-bitter finish. Frequently mentioned flavour notes are chocolate, a hint of spiciness, nuttiness, and a subtle acidity. The coffee is described as aromatic and accessible for any time of day, with a slight smokiness and without any harsh bitterness.

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

Our South American beans have a dry, matte appearance because they are freshly roasted. Customers note that these beans are therefore very suitable for automatic coffee machines and grinders. Dry beans help keep your machine clean and ensure that fewer residues are left behind in the grinder.

What type of packaging is used and how does the coffee stay fresh?

The coffee is delivered in a resealable coffee bag with a freshness valve. This valve allows gases to escape from the bag without letting air in, ensuring optimal freshness is maintained. The packaging is therefore ideal for preserving the flavour and aroma of the beans for a long time, even after opening.

Are these beans suitable for cappuccino, espresso and regular coffee?

Yes, this South America 100% arabica blend is experienced by customers as very versatile. The beans are ideal for espresso, cappuccino and regular coffee (americano or filter coffee). They produce a beautiful crema, are mild enough for milk variations and yet strong enough for lovers of black coffee.
