The story of the lot
Full Description
GuideHow to choose
Nitrogen & vacuum sealing
Every pack is sealed in a protective atmosphere — first vacuum, then nitrogen — to remove oxygen. Unopened, the coffee stays fresh for up to about 2 months after roasting. Shelf life depends a lot on temperature and season: a little less in summer, a little more in winter.
Roast profile
We roast in two profiles, depending on your brewing method:
- Light — great for V60/Aeropress, for those who want brighter acidity and lots of aromatics. Recommended for all pressure-free methods (filter, Aeropress and similar).
- Medium — great for espresso/Moka, for those who want a more intense flavour with a hint of bitterness. Recommended for espresso and Moka.
Grind
Any grind works, as long as it suits your method. With us you can choose whole beans, or pre-ground for Moka or for filter.
Shelf life
For the best taste, enjoy it within 10–45 days of roasting (60 at most). The roast date is always printed on the label.

More FAQ
How do I know if this coffee is suitable for my brewing method?
This Caffè Specialty Brasile Rubi Naturale works well with espresso, drip, and pour-over methods due to its balanced and medium-bodied profile. Its pulped natural process and flavor notes like red fruits and sweet chocolate adapt smoothly to various extraction styles. If you prefer a softer, sweeter cup, this coffee will fit your brewing preferences.
Will this coffee stay fresh if I don't use it all quickly?
Freshness lasts about 2-3 weeks after roasting if stored properly in an airtight container away from light and heat. Since this coffee was roasted recently (January 2023), you should enjoy it soon for optimal flavor. Buying smaller quantities or grinding just before brewing helps maintain its aromatic qualities.
Does this coffee contain any additives or artificial flavors I should be aware of?
This specialty coffee is 100% pure Arabica from Brazil's Mantiqueira de Minas region, processed naturally without additives or artificial flavors. It offers natural fruity and chocolate notes from the bean itself. You can enjoy it knowing it’s free from chemicals or flavor enhancers.
How does this coffee differ from other Brazilian single-origin coffees?
This Rubi variety is uniquely pulped natural and grown at high altitudes (1050-1420m), giving it a balanced, fresh, and moderately full-bodied taste with distinct red fruit and milk chocolate notes. Compared to other Brazilian coffees, it offers a softer sweetness and more complex fruit profile, ideal for those seeking a refined, specialty experience.
What is the best way to store this coffee to maintain its flavor?
Store your coffee beans in a cool, dark place in an airtight container to protect them from moisture and oxygen. Avoid refrigeration or freezing, which can introduce condensation and degrade flavor. Proper storage preserves the coffee's balanced, sweet profile for weeks after opening.
