Bestsellers Fresh Coffee - Fresh coffee beans - 4 x 1 kg

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!

To experience the beans at their best, we would recommend drinking them within three months. However, even after that, the coffee will still be very tasty, but the quality of aroma and flavour will gradually decrease. In any case, it is advisable to consume them within 12 months.

This package contains four varieties: Café du Jour Ethiopia, Brazil Santos, Espresso Madrugador, and South America. Each of these beans has its own character: Ethiopia is known for its lively, lightly fruity flavour; Brazil Santos is softer and rounder; Madrugador is our powerful, full-bodied espresso blend; South America offers an accessible, balanced cup of coffee. The tasting package is ideal for discovering which flavour suits you best.

Because our beans are very fresh, flavour nuances such as acidity or bitterness can be more pronounced than with older supermarket beans. Adjust the grind size (often grinding a little finer), possibly increase the dosage, and also try to adjust the temperature and brewing time of your coffee machine. Experimenting a little helps to get the best out of fresh coffee beans, as many coffee enthusiasts suggest in the reviews.

All bags in the package are equipped with a special resealable strip and a valve. By closing the bag properly after use, you protect the coffee from air and moisture. We recommend storing the beans in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This way, the freshness and aroma of the coffee are optimally preserved.

Yes, our coffee beans are suitable for all common brewing methods, including fully automatic machines, semi-automatic machines (piston machines), filter coffee, and percolators. However, we do recommend adjusting your grind or grind size to suit your equipment, as extra fresh coffee sometimes requires a finer grind for optimal extraction and flavour.
