How fresh is the coffee that I receive?
If you have ordered our fresh coffee, you can assume that this coffee has been roasted within the past 4 weeks. The exact roast date is stated on the packaging.
Which coffee beans are suitable for my fully automatic coffee machine?
For a fully automatic coffee machine (such as Jura, De'Longhi, Siemens), we recommend medium to dark roasted beans that are not too oily.
Do you roast the coffee yourselves?
Yes! Our own Café du Jour coffee beans are freshly roasted in our roastery in Honselersdijk. We roast coffee beans daily in small batches, so that the quality of our coffee remains high.
Which roast is the strongest?
Dark roast tastes the strongest due to its intense, bitter notes. However, that doesn’t mean it contains more caffeine.
Which roast contains the most caffeine?
Light roast contains slightly more caffeine per bean because it’s roasted for a shorter time. The difference is small, but it’s there.
Is light roast always more acidic?
Light roast has a higher acidity. That’s what gives it those fresh and fruity flavours many coffee lovers enjoy.
What works best for espresso?
Medium and dark roast usually work best for espresso. They’re better balanced and deliver a fuller flavour, especially when combined with milk.
Is single origin coffee better than a blend?
Single origin coffee often has a more distinct flavour, while a blend is more balanced. Which is better depends on your personal preference.
Is single origin coffee stronger?
Strength depends more on the roast and brewing method. Single origin can taste more intense due to its pronounced flavour notes.
Why do roasters choose blends?
With blends, roasters can create a consistent flavour. This ensures your coffee tastes the same every time, regardless of the season.
Are blends lower quality?
A good blend is carefully crafted and requires a lot of skill from the roaster to achieve the right balance.
Can I use both in an espresso machine?
Blends are generally more forgiving, but with the right settings, you can also make excellent espresso using single origin beans.
Which vodka works best for an espresso martini?
A smooth, neutral vodka works best. Premium brands give the cocktail an even softer and more refined taste.
Can I make an espresso martini without a shaker?
Yes, but a shaker creates the signature foam layer. If you don’t have one, use a well-sealed jar or bottle and shake it vigorously.
