The world of D&B coffee
D&B Gourmet Coffee...is culture
Coffee is a fascinating drink with an exciting history.
With coffee we associate far away countries, but also tradition and pleasure.
Like tea, coffee is an original drink promising natural pleasure. Coffee
stimulates the senses and brings color to our day. In short: We cannot imagine
our culture without coffee.
Pure pleasure
Entirely new worlds of taste will open to the coffee
drinker when enjoying our select plantation coffees and coffee specialties. Only
aromatic and high-quality coffees enrich our carefully composed assortment. The
taste and aroma of these unusual top coffees will surely convince you. Taste for
yourself!
Our Roaster
Our roast master transforms exceptional green coffee beans into
superior
quality coffees in our very own roaster. We like to take
particular
care in the choice of our coffees, their storage and, finally, in
the roasting
process. We are integrated in a network, which allows us to
make
direct contact with plantation owners in the most important
coffeeproducing
countries. As these are the best coffee qualities available
on the international market, we are willing to accept that their prices are well
above the global market’s standard.
Our D&B gourmet coffees are roasted
according to the traditional slow
roasting method using low temperatures (160
– 200°C) in our gas fired
drum roaster – we consciouslydistance ourselves
from industrialshock
roasting methods. Since every kind of coffee requires a
different degree
of roasting, we continue “hand-roasting” our coffees. The
hot coffee beans
are then quickly and gently cooled using fresh air. We have
decided
not to use water for the cooling procedure, as this has a negative
effecton
the coffee’s perishability. The generalframework resulting in some
of the best coffeequalities in the world has thus been achieved.
Tasting
Cupping: each coffee is cupped after roasting. We use the
well-tried
“Hamburg harbour infusion” by which we infuse 21 g roughly
ground
coffee with 350 ml water, brew it and cup it at different
temperatures.
Many taste nuances can only be perceived while the coffee
cools.
These taste nuances have a profound impact on the character of
the
coffee. Not until the coffee finds approval, do the widely travelled
beans
embark on their last journey – to you!
...on this you can rely!
The know-how of our coffee roaster guarantees a continuously excellent
quality of our coffees. High quality standards, the best raw materials as well
as experience ensure a result, which is of highest grade.
D&B Gourmet Coffee
The green coffee beans, destined to being transformed into D&B Gourmet
Coffees, are chosen using our experience in selecting only premium coffeesfrom
the best cultivation areas. Our roast master refines the green coffee beans so
that the final result is a singular taste brought about by perfect
