We recommend paying extra attention to the grind size, especially if you are used to mainly making espressos. Some users find that it takes a little trial and error to find the right setting for a fresh and balanced coffee. Start with a medium grind size and adjust to taste. Due to the freshness of the beans, the flavour profile may vary slightly from batch to batch; feel free to taste and experiment to achieve your preferred result.
Are the coffee beans light, medium, or dark roasted?
The Nicaragua 100% arabica coffee beans are medium roasted. They are therefore not too light or too dark, which ensures a beautiful balance between smoothness and strength, without the bean becoming bitter. This makes them very suitable for various coffee styles.
Are the coffee beans oily or dry, and what does this mean for my coffee machine?
Our South American beans have a dry, matte appearance because they are freshly roasted. Customers note that these beans are therefore very suitable for automatic coffee machines and grinders. Dry beans help keep your machine clean and ensure that fewer residues are left behind in the grinder.
What type of packaging is used and how does the coffee stay fresh?
The coffee is delivered in a resealable coffee bag with a freshness valve. This valve allows gases to escape from the bag without letting air in, ensuring optimal preservation of freshness. The packaging is therefore ideal for keeping the flavour and aroma of the beans for a long time, even after opening.
