What if I have a different taste experience (for example too acidic, too light or too fruity)?
Flavour perception is highly personal and can depend on your coffee machine, grind size, and brewing method.

Our advice is to experiment with the grind size and brewing time to achieve the desired result. If you prefer a stronger or darker flavour, we also have darker roasted varieties in our range.

Are the Guatemala coffee beans oily or dry and what does this mean for my coffee machine?
Our Guatemala beans are not oily, but rather on the dry side. That is good news for the maintenance of your (fully automatic) coffee machine, as dry beans result in less oil build-up in the grinder. Many customers appreciate this because it makes maintenance and cleaning easier.
Are these beans only suitable for espresso, or can I also use them to make other coffees such as lungo, americano or cappuccino?
These beans are very versatile. Although they are sold as an espresso blend, our customers successfully use them for espresso, lungo, americano, cappuccino and even iced coffee. Thanks to their powerful and balanced flavour, they are suitable for many different coffee preparations.
The flavour is fruitier or more acidic than I am used to. Can I adjust this?
If the coffee is too fruity or acidic for your taste, you can easily experiment with the grind size, dosage, and brewing time. By setting the grind a bit coarser and possibly choosing a slightly lower coffee strength, the fresh character will become softer and milder. Each brewing method can provide a slightly different taste experience. Any questions about this? Feel free to contact us for personalised brewing advice!
