Coffee from El Salvador

El Salvador, the smallest yet most densely populated country in Central America, boasts a rich history of coffee cultivation and export that stretches back over a century. Today, it’s renowned for producing high-quality gourmet arabica coffee, with the average coffee plantation covering just 1.5 hectares.

Freshly roasted Café du Jour coffee

Café du Jour’s own-brand coffee beans receive artisanal care from a specialist roaster. Roasted on a small scale, our beans are stocked weekly, ensuring the roasting date is always fresh. This date is clearly noted on the packaging label for your assurance.

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!

How does this El Salvador coffee distinguish itself from other Café du Jour coffees?

Customers often experience these El Salvador beans as accessible, smooth and lightly sweet, with a beautiful balance between softness and yet sufficient flavour. Compared to, for example, the Peru beans from Café du Jour, this El Salvador is described as somewhat milder and less intense, ideal for those who are not looking for heavy, bitter coffee but rather appreciate a full mouthfeel and subtle complexity.

What does the El Salvador 100% arabica coffee taste like and what can I expect in terms of intensity?

This coffee has a smooth, full flavour with sweet notes of brown sugar and chocolate. The roast is medium, which means the coffee is not bitter and has a slight complexity. The intensity is experienced as mild to medium, making it suitable for those who enjoy an accessible, not too strong coffee.

Are these coffee beans suitable for espresso, cappuccino or other coffee preparations?

These beans are versatile and can be used for both espresso and milk-based drinks such as latte and cappuccino. Please note that the coffee flavour is relatively mild in a cappuccino; you may wish to adjust the amount of milk if you prefer a stronger coffee taste. Many customers also enjoy this coffee as a caffè crema or black coffee, due to its light and gentle character.
