The Different Flavour Notes of De Koffiebaron

Every coffee is a complex mix of flavours. At De Koffiebaron, we highlight the three most recognisable flavour notes for each coffee. This makes it easier to find a coffee that truly matches your taste.

In the past, coffee flavours were often enhanced with artificial additives. Today, flavour development is much more refined. Factors such as drying methods, roasting temperature, roast duration and many other subtle processes determine the final taste. This allows the true quality of the coffee bean to shine through.

Creamy / Full-bodied

Smooth, creamy and almost milky. Think of a warm cappuccino without the milk – purely from the bean. Perfect for those who love a velvety mouthfeel.
