Freshly roasted coffee beans daily

How to make the right choice?

Anyone who has ever had an espresso brewed with fresh beans understands that the experience of it cannot be matched. Some (luxury) brands lie in the warehouse for weeks or months waiting for a buyer. Of course, this is not weird at all and coffee simply has a shelf life of a year. Still, fresh coffee beans will taste best in the weeks after roasting. In principle, fresh coffee beans can be drunk as early as two days after roasting. Because gases escape from the beans after roasting, a week after roasting is the ideal time to grind and use the coffee beans. Café du Jour's coffee beans are very fresh. Roasting is done at lower temperatures, which makes the roasting process slower. In this way, the gentlemen of Café du Jour create a very evenly roasted coffee bean. Depending on which bean and roast the final product should be, the temperature will be between 180 and 220 degrees. The taste experience of the coffee beans coming out of our roastery is sensational. If you order the coffee beans before 15:00 in the afternoon, you can rest assured that your fresh beans will be shipped the same day and will never be older than four weeks.

Fresh coffee beans

We regularly get the question whether the coffee is not too old if the roasting date is already from 3 weeks ago, for example. To briefly answer this question; no, after a few weeks the coffee is at its best! This is because freshly roasted coffee is full of carbon dioxide (CO2). This gas forms during the roasting process and causes the coffee to lack flavour. Depending on the bean and the roast, coffee is at its best after one to four weeks. The beans are stored in special coffee bags immediately after roasting.

Buy freshly roasted coffee beans

We offer a wide range of choices, including popular coffee blends, coffees of different origins, single origin and decaffeinated coffee that you can buy in small packs or in large quantities. You can use special freshly roasted beans of premium quality to make fresh coffee at home or in the office. Besides, your coffee can only taste so good as long as the beans allow it. In short: good fresh strong beans make for good coffee. So high-quality fresh coffee is very important, especially if you need more than one cup of coffee to get through the day. Everything that coffee lovers associate with brewing a good cup, such as the personal flavour and aroma comes from the roasting process, starts with a long journey from well-known coffee producers from different countries. When a raw, green coffee bean is picked, it contains the precursors of those complex flavour profiles that give a typical aroma and taste. Our roasting process creates a flavour explosion with aromas of, for example, chocolate, caramel, flowers or fruit.

The coffee beans are exposed to the extreme heat of a coffee roaster. A green bean's complex composition of minerals - the carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, lipids, water and caffeine - fuse together in chemical reactions that give way to that nutty and irresistible smell and taste of coffee. It is then properly packaged to reduce exposure to air so that the aromas do not dissipate more quickly. As a result, the coffee bean does not lose its flavour before it reaches you. We make sure we brew our coffee beans as soon as possible after roasting. Let your friends be the envy of those delicious espresso or other brewed coffees of yours!

The degassing process of freshly roasted coffee beans

We are regularly asked whether the roasted coffee beans are not too old when the roasting date is already from 3 weeks ago, for example. To give a short answer to this question is; no, after a few weeks the coffee is at its tastiest. The reason is that (freshly) roasted coffee beans are full of carbon dioxide (CO2). This gas forms during the roasting process and causes the coffee to lack flavour. Depending on the bean and the roast, the coffee is at its best after one to four weeks. The coffee is stored in special coffee bags immediately after roasting. Our coffee bags contain a valve, which ensures that the gas escaping from the bean can also escape from the bag without the aromas dissipating faster. At the same time, this valve ensures that no oxygen can get back into the coffee bag.

Buying and storing fresh coffee beans, what do you pay attention to?

Because freshly roasted beans can easily lose their freshness, storing them properly is important. There are factors to consider when you bring the coffee into your home. Store your precious purchase in a dry place to avoid exposure to moisture. Keep the packaging tightly sealed to shield the coffee from air, for instance in an airtight tin. So our prized coffee bean packaging is equipped with a special valve that can release carbon dioxide without letting air in. This keeps the beans well fresh. However, these are not meant for long-term storage, so it is best not to leave the coffee for too long. For the best preservation of flavours, it is best to store the coffee in a dark, cool place. Our delicious coffees are selected for quality and character. Each batch is hand-roasted and shipped daily throughout the Netherlands. We roast for and deliver your fresh, delicious and special coffee.
