A score like that is high praise indeed: in the realm of specialty varieties, coffee that gets anywhere from 85 to 88 points is considered to be excellent, while varieties with a score of 80 to 84.99 are categorised as very good.

All coffees in the Black Crow White Pigeon range are lovingly cultivated in extraordinary settings and amongst one-of-a-kind conditions. Their flavour and overall quality are decided by the soil and the microclimate. Plus, these varieties are grown at the top of the world—that is to say, in the highlands of different countries, where the ripening process is slower and lets the flavours develop more complexity. While each Black Crow White Pigeon coffee is its own distinct experience, keep in mind that coffees from a specific region or continent tend to share certain flavours in common:African coffee. A true haven for coffee connoisseurs, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Marcala are the epicentres of exceptional coffee. The Black Crow White Pigeon varieties grown in these countries are a unique delight. Their flavour profile is a mix of fruity, floral, tea- or wine-like notes, topped off with a juicy finish.
Asian coffee has been gaining popularity lately, and the coffee market in countries like Myanmar and Vietnam has been growing steadily for the past few years, with growers in this region shifting their focus towards premium-quality coffee. Asian coffee beans are known for their distinct flavours, which are often described as bitter and include notes of spices, chocolate, tobacco, red wine, and wood.
South American coffee. These coffees are a great place to start your specialty coffee journey! If you’re new to this world, we recommend exploring Brazilian or Colombian varieties first. You’ll love the balanced flavour, natural sweetness, and delicious hints of chocolate, nuts, and fruit. South American coffees are generally less acidic than African ones, and milder than Asian varieties.
Central American coffee is a real treat! From Guatemala to Nicaragua, these countries produce a diverse range of flavours: from tropical fruit to nuts. What all Central American coffees have in common though is their unique taste profile and distinct character.
Set out on a journey around the world without leaving your sofa by giving our medium-roasted Black Crow White Pigeon coffee set a try! It features several different varieties that showcase the unique traditions and flavours of Nicaragua, Brazil, and Ethiopia. With these high-quality arabica beans, each cuppa is bound to be a delight. When developing this line, we’ve also considered those who can’t or don’t want to consume caffeine. If you’re one of them, you can enjoy specialty coffee too! Black Crow White Pigeon Colombia Decaf is an excellent alternative to regular coffee. It’ll let you savour amazing specialty coffee flavours without the jitters associated with caffeine.How to Choose the Right Black Crow White Pigeon Coffee for You?
In the journey of specialty coffee, an important role is played by the person who brews and tastes the final drink. For Black Crow White Pigeon coffees to bring out their finest qualities, the right roasting, processing and brewing methods must be selected.Roast Level
In the world of coffee, there are many different ways to brew your drink, and each of them lets different flavours shine through. Two of the most popular brewing methods are espresso and filter. While both of them can be used for coffees from the Black Crow White Pigeon line, the roast level must still be considered when searching for the right coffee for you. For those who love the strong taste of espresso coffee, specialty varieties can offer an even richer, more intense flavour, with unique aromas and notes that would be hard to obtain using coffee of a lower quality. If you enjoy bold flavours and prefer coffee without any extra ingredients, choose a medium to dark roast for your espressos. Filter coffee brings out the subtlest notes hidden in the beans, and boasts a buttery, silky body, as well as a clean cup. Go for light roasts to get the most out of your specialty filter brews.Processing Method
When looking for the right coffee for you, the processing method is another important characteristic to consider. It has a huge impact on the final taste and body of your brew. The natural process endows beans with a richer, sweeter taste, and a fuller body. The washed process is known for clean, mild flavours, a light body, and pronounced notes of fruit. The honey process crafts a medium body and sweet notes of fruit or tea, while anaerobically processed coffee is particularly fruity and boasts unique, exotic notes.Brewing Method
Another criterion should be your preferred brewing method. It can bring out different qualities of your coffee, providing you with a variety of flavour experiences. Light-roasted coffees are perfect for in-cup brewing or filter brewing methods like a filter coffee machine, a French press, a Chemex, an AeroPress, or even a cold brew coffee maker. While these brewing tools may differ, the outcome is always a quick cup of coffee marked by deep flavours and strong aromas. Coffee beans of a medium to darker roast are perfect for bean-to-cup machines, espresso machines, and moka pots. When brewed in these appliances, specialty coffee may be marked by acidity, yet this is not the kind of acidity that should be avoided. Only coffees of the highest quality boast acidic notes like that, described as sweet and reminiscent of wine or tropical fruit.Black or White?
Take a look at the range of flavours in this coffee line: as you can see, it’s incredibly diverse. Before you buy a certain coffee though, consider its packaging. Fruity, floral, berryish coffees come in a white bag, while earthy, chocolatey ones are paired with the colour black. The numbers on the packaging (1, 2, 3... 24) serve a dual purpose: on the one hand, they’re like chapters in a book, and on the other, they help you remember your favourite coffee so that you can grab the same one next time.Need Advice?

The person brewing the coffee is key to unlocking its unique character. To get the most out of Parallel, you need to pick the roast level and brewing method that really brings out the flavour. Luckily, all of the beans in this line are medium-roasted, making them a great fit for all kinds of brewing tools: from filter coffee makers and espresso machines to in-cup brewing. A medium roast helps produce the perfect mix of flavour and aroma. It showcases the best of both worlds, which is the natural qualities of the beans, and the magic of roasting. This way, you get a flavour that’s just right, balancing the sweet with the sour. Medium-roasted beans tend to boast just the right amount of acidity—less than a light roast, more than a dark roast.

Beans like that are roasted at a temperature of 210–220 °C. They’re characterised by a dark brown colour, with no oily spots visible. The medium roast level is particularly versatile and suited for a wide range of brewing methods: from espresso coffee to filter coffee, French presses, or in-cup brewing.

The ground coffees are designed for in-cup brewing, French presses, moka pots, filter machines, as well as manual filter brewing tools. The beans are suited for all of the remaining methods, be it a bean-to-cup appliance or an espresso machine.Need Advice?

About coffee for Cafetiere (French Press coffee)
French presses, also known as cafetières, are amongst the world’s most popular brewing tools. This should come as no surprise, given how easy they are to use and how extraordinary the flavours that they help obtain. If you’re craving a delicious, rich, flavourful cuppa of French press coffee, you don’t need to travel all the way to France! Is a French press all you need for a fragrant drink of this kind though? The flavours are, after all, hidden in the coffee beans. This means that your first step towards a gorgeous French press brew is finding the right coffee for cafetière, specifically for this brewing method.
What is the Best Coffee for Cafetiere?
Sworn fans of French presses tend to appreciate natural coffee flavours: they’re generally looking for bold, full-bodied, oily brews. If you enjoy classic coffee of this type too, and you have a French press at home, your best bet is 100% arabica, or an arabica and robusta blend, of a medium roast. Medium-roasted coffee is naturally quite oily, rich, and flavourful, which is what proper cafetière coffee is all about.
Those who want to experience an even wider spectrum of flavours should give specialty coffee a try. It is widely considered to be the best coffee for french press.

Coffee Beans for a French Press: How to Find the Best Ones?
A French press is one of the most versatile brewing tools out there. These coffee makers are very easy to use as well, so you won’t need any special skills to make yourself a quality cuppa. What you definitely will need to obtain the finest flavours though are freshly ground coffee beans. You can choose a variety of coffee beans for cafetière: light-roasted, medium-roasted and dark-roasted coffees can all work just as well.
Your choice depends on the kind of flavours you’re after. Coffee beans for french press of a dark roast will endow your drink with some extra bitterness, smokiness, piquancy and thickness, while medium and light roasts will help uncover subtler, sweeter, fruitier tasting notes. In addition to the roast level, bear the grind size in mind as well: your best bet is a medium to coarser grind. Beans ground like that will result in a particularly rich cuppa marked by especially vivid flavours.
Owners of a French press should give the Caprisette range of coffees a try: their delicate, subtle flavours are suited well for both black coffees and milk-based drinks.

Ground Coffee for French Presses: Which One Should You Go For?
As far as coffee for cafetières is concerned, we’ve already established the superiority of freshly ground beans. We do understand, however, that grinding your beans right before preparation may not always be an option. For cases like that, there’s a bunch of ground coffees in Coffee Friend’s range of products specifically selected as excellent ground coffee for cafetiere. When looking for the right variety, consider the grind size though: French presses are suited best for coffee of a medium to coarser grind. A grind like that will help you obtain the richest, most consistent flavours. You can experiment too, of course, but keep in mind that the finer the grind, the more piquant and intense the flavour.
Coarseness of ground coffee for a French cafetiere

For cases like that, Coffee Friend offers a selection specifically curated as excellent ground coffee for French press. This range includes cafetiere coffee grounds, ensuring you always have the right consistency. When choosing your variety, remember that French presses are best suited for cafetière coffee grounds of a medium to coarser grind.

Coffee Friends’ coffees for Cafetiere
Those looking to cut their search short should browse through Caprisette ground coffees: they’re designed for a delicious daily cuppa and are suited great for French presses.

These are finely crafted ground cafetière coffee options that let you experience a hassle-free cuppa of the world’s finest coffee.

Those who tend to choose decaf coffee are probably wondering if cafetières can be used to brew decaffeinated drinks. We’ve got great news: if you have a French press at home, you can absolutely enjoy a gorgeous, incredibly fragrant cup of decaf coffee. Just remember that the same basic guidelines apply here: look for coffee beans that are as fresh as possible, and keep the roast level in mind. If you’re eyeing a ground decaf variety, consider the grind size too.
Decaf coffee drinkers should give the Caprisette Lullaby Decaf blend a try: it’s marked by subtle, pleasantly sweet flavours. If you’re looking for something extra special though, we’ve got the specialty Black Crow White Pigeon Colombia Decaf for you. Just give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!
Locally Roasted Coffee for the Freshest Flavours
Let us remind you once again that when it comes to coffee for French presses, freshness is absolutely key. Luckily, freshly roasted coffee is just a few clicks away!

How does locally roasted coffee taste like?.. It tastes so bold and rich that even the pickiest coffee connoisseurs out there are bound to be impressed.

Those who love to experiment haven’t been forgotten either: there are sets with several different coffees in them too. Setting out on a journey of incredibly varied, vivid coffee flavours is now easier than ever!
Arabica Coffee Beans for a French Press
The two main types of coffee are called arabica and robusta. Which one should owners of a cafetière go for then? The answer is straightforward: it’s definitely arabica. The depth, sweetness and complexity of arabica makes it perfect for French press brews. This type of coffee is suited well for both black coffees and milk-based drinks, by the way—and this versatility matches the flexibility of a cafetière.
Robusta Coffee Beans for a French Press
Compared to that of arabica, the taste of robusta coffee beans is far bolder, richer, and definitely more bitter. This is why 100% robusta is a rare occurrence. More often than not, you’ll find this type of coffee in arabica and robusta blends. They’re an excellent choice as far as French presses are concerned, especially if you like some light bitterness in your brew, combined with a thicker consistency and a firmer crema. Blends like these are perfect for milk-based drinks, so if you’re a fan of such coffees, you might want to give them a try.
Still Unsure?
Can’t decide what coffee for your french press coffee maker to get? Are you simply looking for good cafetiere coffee or are you simply curious about other types of coffee too? Our consultants are here to help you make the right decision! Just reach out, and we’ll answer all of your questions.
