★★★★★ 4.9/5 · Rated by our customers

Captain's Choice is the awkward one in the Café du Jour Bregman's Blend range, and deliberately so. The beans are hand-sorted and high-grown, and the cup they give is lightly smoky with a clear tang running behind it. Milk flattens both, so drink it black and it makes sense. Whole beans in a bag that reseals, which means you will want a grinder; this is not a coffee for pods or capsules.

Details

Captain's Choice from Bregman's Blend

Bregman Koffies now goes by Café du Jour Bregman's Blend: the same freshly roasted coffee, now in a bag that reseals and keeps the beans in decent shape between brews. Captain's Choice is the one in the range that does not set out to please everybody, and it is the better for knowing that before you order.

In the cup

A light smokiness arrives first, then a distinct tang underneath it. It is full-bodied and balanced rather than rough, but that acidity is what you notice and it is the reason the coffee divides people. At 8 out of 13 on our strength scale there is real weight behind it. Milk smooths the tang away and takes the point of the coffee with it, so this one is best drunk black.

Brewing it

The beans are hand-sorted and grown high up, and they come whole, so you will be grinding them. They suit any machine that works from fresh beans - a bean-to-cup machine, an espresso machine, filter or a cafetière - and you can set the grind to whichever of those you use. What they will not do is go into a pod or a capsule machine, so if that is what stands on your worktop, look at one of the other Bregman's Blend coffees instead.

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 the Captain's Choice coffee beans special compared to other blends?

The Captain's Choice contains hand-sorted, high-grown beans with a distinctive light smoky flavour and a subtle acidity. This quirky blend has been developed for coffee lovers who enjoy adventure and character in their cup of coffee.

Are these coffee beans suitable for use in a fully automatic machine or an espresso machine?

Yes, Bregman's Blend Captain's Choice is suitable for all types of coffee machines that work with fresh coffee beans, such as fully automatic machines and espresso machines. Please note that this coffee is not suitable for pad or capsule machines.

Does the flavour of this coffee come out best with or without milk?

We recommend drinking this coffee without milk. That way, you taste the full, adventurous flavours and the light acidity at their best. With milk, these special characteristics may be somewhat diminished.

What are the main flavour characteristics of Bregman's Blend Captain's Choice coffee beans?
