Blending, the secret of Douwe Egberts coffee

Blending

It's important to remember that coffee is a natural product, therefore no two harvests are the same. In order to produce the optimum flavour, various types of coffee beans are blended together. The aim of blending coffee is to ensure that the flavour and aroma are consistent throughout the year. The Douwe Egberts master blenders use their experience & expertise to adjust the mix of coffee types to ensure your coffee has the same great taste every time you drink it.

It's a matter of taste!

As well as blending to get the optimum taste, blends are also developed to meet the taste preferences of the different Douwe Egberts countries. For example in Greece & Turkey, consumers enjoy a dark & intense coffee blend, whereas here in the UK, we tend to prefer a more rounded medium roast coffee.
