The best coffee beans

At first glance, it might seem like there’s little difference between coffee beans. While there are many types, to the eye they all look similar. To keep it simple, we distinguish between two main types: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is one of the world’s favourites for its sweet, fruity flavour and aroma. These beans are grown at altitudes between 600 and 2,000 metres above sea level and have a more complex flavour than Robusta. However, Robusta beans are stronger, more bitter, and contain more caffeine, making them popular in espresso machines. Coffee roasters select their preferred beans and roast them to create the perfect taste of coffee. This roasting makes the bean suitable for your coffee maker or espresso machine. On the packaging, you’ll find details like 100% Arabica or Robusta beans or whether it’s a blend.

The combination and method of the roaster give the coffee its characteristic flavour. Sometimes we describe that taste as powerful or pure, but how it tastes to you is usually a personal matter. Finding the coffee bean that matches your taste is an interesting journey. The good news? You can experiment endlessly.

If you’re after coffee beans that are not only delicious but also sustainably produced, fair trade and organic options are worth considering. Fairtrade beans are grown by farmers who receive fair prices and work under decent conditions. Organic beans are grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, which is better for both the environment and your health. By buying these beans, you support sustainable farming practices and ensure fair compensation for the farmers.

If you’re seeking the best taste experience and are willing to spend a bit more, the premium beans in our range at Café du Jour are definitely worth a look.

Remember, the love put into selecting the beans ensures a great taste even if the latte art isn’t perfect. Are you a tea drinker? You can still have fun creating crafts with beans (though we think it’s a bit of a waste).

Coffee beans as a business investment

In the business world, they know a good business deal often starts with a great cup of espresso or cappuccino. You wouldn’t want to disappoint your clients with a dodgy cup of coffee, whether you’re selling high-end cars or anything else. In business terms, investing in beans is always a smart choice.

And don’t forget about your colleagues. It might not be in the company handbook, but a decent espresso or cappuccino keeps everyone happy at work.

The disadvantages of the best coffee beans

There are a few downsides to having top-notch beans, and it’s better to be aware of them. The biggest issue is that the coffee is just too good. Friends, acquaintances, and family will constantly pop by. You might even find yourself in a fix when visiting others because you’re used to better coffee at home. Once you start using the best beans at home, you’re spoiled for choice.

Renovations at home or the office may never wrap up if the workmen discover your coffee machine with beans. It's a well-known fact: when the neighbour pops by, it’s rarely to borrow a cup of sugar, but more often to enjoy a coffee together. And try ending a party by serving coffee as a nightcap. Your guests are sure to linger longer. So, think twice about what you’re getting into when you choose quality beans.

Economical coffee beans

Coffee beans have quite a journey before reaching your cup. Typically, beans are transported to a central location near the plantation, then to a port warehouse in the country of origin before shipping (often overseas). In the destination country, they head to the roastery before going into trade. Post-roasting, beans are sold to wholesalers and retailers before reaching consumers like you who can finally brew and enjoy the coffee. This lengthy supply chain, where each link seeks its piece of the pie, naturally increases costs for the consumer.

Café du jour buys many beans directly from coffee roasters. This allows us to offer many beans at lower prices than the competition.

Coffee beans are the best thing to buy

Many folks still use their trusty filter machine for a daily cuppa, and that's grand! It still brews one of the tastiest coffees. However, it’s not advisable to buy large amounts of ground coffee, as it loses freshness quicker than whole beans. Once ground, coffee quickly loses its flavour, so we always recommend: buy coffee beans and only grind the amount you need for your pot. Of course, you can also head straight for Café du jour ground coffee. Whatever you decide, you'll always enjoy the delicious taste of fresh coffee.

In short, for fresh, delicious coffee, Café du jour is the place to be. Save and delight in the finest coffee beans.
