What is Idee Kaffee?

Idee Kaffee coffee beans come from J.J. Darboven, a German family roaster established in 1866. The brand is known for its mild flavour and stomach-friendly qualities. Darboven uses a special steam treatment that reduces the beans' acidity.

Darboven's steam treatment

In the production of Idee Kaffee the green coffee beans are treated with steam before roasting. This process removes some of the compounds that can irritate the stomach. The result is a coffee that is gentler on the stomach, while retaining its flavour.

Origin and coffee base

Idee Kaffee uses carefully selected Arabica beans and Arabica–Robusta blends. Arabica delivers a soft, aromatic flavour. The Robusta addition in some variants provides more body and a stronger crema.

Who is it suitable for?

Idee Kaffee coffee beans suit a wide audience. Home users, the hospitality sector and offices can all benefit from the range. The stomach-friendly formula makes the brand attractive for people sensitive to acidic coffee.

Coffee drinkers with a sensitive stomach or who suffer from heartburn
People who enjoy a mild, aromatic filter coffee
Espresso and Caffè Crema lovers seeking a smooth bean
Businesses and offices that buy coffee in larger quantities
Those who want to enjoy full coffee flavour without caffeine

Volume discounts are available for B2B customers on larger orders. That makes Idee Kaffee interesting for caterers, restaurants and company canteens that purchase coffee regularly.

How to use Idee Kaffee

Idee Kaffee coffee beans are versatile. Depending on the variant you can use them in a filter coffee maker, espresso machine or fully automatic machine. The beans are freshly packed to preserve their aroma until grinding.

Making filter coffee with Idee Classic

Idee Kaffee Classic is designed for filter coffee makers. Grind the beans coarsely for a clear, mild cup. Use about 7 g of ground coffee per 100 ml of water for a balanced flavour.

Making espresso and Caffè Crema

Idee Kaffee Espresso and Caffè Crema variants suit espresso machines and fully automatic machines. Grind finely for espresso or slightly coarser for Caffè Crema. The Arabica–Robusta blend delivers a firm crema and a full-bodied taste in the cup.

Decaffeinated variant

The Idee decaffeinated variant can be used the same way as the regular versions. It works well in filter coffee makers and offers a comparable mild flavour without the caffeine.
