Despertando Espresso - Fresh coffee beans









We love making espresso with the Café du Jour Espresso Depertando, but it also works great as a filter coffee. It's not overly dark roasted but still packs quite a punch. It pairs well with cappuccinos too.
Curious about how it was created? You can find all the details below.
Hello ladies and gentlemen! Let me take you back to an early, warm Monday morning in the spring of '21. One of our employees (I’ll keep their name a secret) walks into our charming little cottage in rural Maasland, somewhat tired after a heavy weekend.
Monday just so happens to be the busiest day of the week. It's the day when, as they say, the real work begins. We fire up the coffee roaster at dawn. Coffee beans are constantly going into the roaster, coming out, being poured into barrels, then off to the packing room, into bags, and finally into boxes to make their way to you. It’s tougher work than you might imagine. So, as you can understand, we really can't afford to lose a team member.
Fortunately, we are Café du Jour and can theoretically produce a limitless supply of caffeine. Perfect for lazy coffee roasters hard-working, tired folks. Right there, the idea was born: a coffee for true workers, a coffee for the backbone of society. One that keeps you awake, energizes, and brightens your day. It’s a coffee that can evaporate hangovers, make grannies and grandpas dance, cause doping tests to show a result of 250%, and make your old diesel run twice as fast (disclaimer: try that last one at your own risk).
And CARAMBA, did it turn out well. This predominantly Colombian blend gets a little assistance from African and Asian beans and it’s definitely not decaf. The result is a coffee with a slightly chocolatey taste followed by floral notes. The undertone is lightly spiced thanks to the blend's secret ingredient (hint: it starts with 'extra much' and ends in 'caffeine').
Since we brew this coffee fresh in our warehouse, we deliver 98% of coffee packages within 24 hours and no longer need to call in all our friends, acquaintances and family to help during busy times.
And oh yes, what does the name of this coffee mean? That’s for you to guess. Or you could Google it.
