Details

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

This is Café du Jour's Ethiopia Yirgacheffe: a speciality coffee made from 100% Arabica beans from Yirgacheffe in Ethiopia. Two things define the cup: an intense aroma and a sweet flavour.

Strength and character

On our strength scale it scores 4 out of 13. That low number does not mean a thin or dull coffee. The aroma carries it, and the sweetness comes through clearly, especially without milk. If you usually reach for a dark, heavy blend, think of this as a different kind of cup rather than a weaker version of the same thing.

Fresh whole beans

The beans come whole, so you decide how to grind them. Grind just before brewing, or put them straight into a bean-to-cup machine, and the aroma this coffee is bought for ends up in your cup.

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!

The coffee sometimes tastes a bit sour, how can I adjust this?
A light acidity is characteristic of Yirgacheffe coffee, but you can influence the flavour balance by adjusting the grind and preparation. A slightly coarser grind or a longer extraction time often reduces the acidic character. We also recommend allowing the beans to rest for a few days after the roast date for optimal flavour development.
Why are the beans sometimes very fresh upon receipt and when do they taste best?
We roast our coffee every week in small batches and deliver it as fresh as possible. This means you may sometimes receive beans that were roasted only a few days ago. Freshly roasted beans can taste a little unstable during the first few days after the roast date. We recommend letting the beans rest for 5 to 10 days after receiving them before use; this allows the flavour profile to develop optimally.
What are the main flavour characteristics of these Yirgacheffe coffee beans?
Our Yirgacheffe coffee beans are known for their fresh and floral character, with a fruity aroma and a light to medium body. Many customers taste notes of sweetness, a light acidity, and sometimes even hints of nuts, dried fruits, or a touch of spiciness. The coffee is powerful and intense without being bitter, and is often experienced as smooth and refined.
Does the quality of the beans remain good if I buy a large package?
Because we supply freshly roasted coffee, it is important to store the beans in an airtight container after opening. Our resealable packaging with a valve ensures that air and gases can escape without allowing new air in. However, we recommend using larger packs within a few weeks, as some customers notice that the flavour becomes slightly less fresh over time, especially if the bag is opened regularly.
Are these beans suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino?
Yes, these coffee beans are versatile and many of our customers use them for various brewing methods. They are perfectly suited for espresso, cappuccino and filter coffee. The pronounced fruity and floral notes, for example, come through beautifully as an espresso or V60, while the smooth flavour also lends itself well to cappuccino or regular coffee.
