The best coffee beans

At first glance, there is little difference between coffee beans. Although there are many different types of beans, to the eye they all look alike. To keep it simple, we distinguish two main types of beans: Arabica coffee beans and Robusta coffee beans. Arabica coffee is one of the most popular coffees in the world because of its sweet, fruity flavour and aroma. Arabica coffee beans are grown at altitudes between 600 and 2,000 metres above sea level and have a more complex flavour than Robusta coffee beans. However, Robusta coffee beans have a strong, bitter flavour and contain more caffeine than Arabica coffee beans, making them popular for use in espresso machines. Coffee roasters select their preferred beans and then roast them to create the delicious taste of coffee. This roasting process makes the bean suitable for your coffee maker or espresso machine. Roasters then select their favourite beans that they prefer to use for roasting coffee. You will then read on the packaging, for example, 100% Arabica beans, Robusta beans or that it is a blend.

The coffee roaster's combination and method produce the characteristic flavour. Sometimes we describe that taste as powerful or pure, but how the coffee tastes to you is usually mostly personal. Finding the coffee bean that suits your taste is an interesting quest. The good news is that you can experiment with it endlessly.

If you are looking for coffee beans that are not only tasty but also sustainably produced, fair trade coffee beans and organic coffee beans are good options to consider. Fairtrade coffee beans are produced by farmers who receive fair trade prices and work under fair working conditions. Organic coffee beans are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, which is better for both the environment and consumers' health. By buying these coffee beans, you not only support sustainable farming practices, but also ensure that coffee farmers receive a fair price for their work.

If you are looking for the best taste experience and are willing to pay extra for it, the premium coffee beans in our range at Café du Jour are definitely worth considering.

Economical coffee beans

Coffee beans have quite a journey ahead of them after they are picked. This is because most beans are first taken to a central point in the region of the plantation. From this central point, the coffee beans are taken to a warehouse in the port of the country of origin before being transported by boat (often) to the other side of the world. In the destination country, the coffee beans still have to go to the roastery before they can enter the trade. After the beans are roasted, they are sold (especially for the larger brands) to wholesalers and warehouses. These wholesalers, in turn, sell the coffee beans to shops (retailers). Only after this are the coffee beans sold to consumers who can finally brew and drink the coffee. Besides the fact that the beans are of course long gone by then, all these links in the distribution channel want to earn something from the coffee beans. This naturally causes the coffee beans to become increasingly expensive for the end user.

Café du jour buys many coffee beans directly from the coffee roasters themselves. This allows us to sell many coffee beans at lower prices than our competitors.

Coffee beans are the best thing to buy

Many people still use their trusty filter machine to brew coffee daily, and that's totally fine! It still produces one of the tastiest cups of coffee. Nevertheless, it is not recommended to buy large quantities of ground coffee. This is because this pre-ground coffee is then no longer fresh at all. Once coffee beans are ground, they will lose their freshness much faster than if the coffee is stored as a bean. So our advice is always: buy coffee beans and grind only the amount of coffee you need at that moment to make your pot of coffee. Of course, you can also choose to go directly to Café du jour ground coffee. Whatever you choose, you will always enjoy the delicious taste of fresh coffee.

In short, for delicious fresh coffee, Café du jour is the place to be. Save and enjoy the best quality coffee beans.
