Douwe Egberts Melange Rood 1kg for cafés, restaurants and hospitality

Douwe Egberts Melange Rood 1kg is supplied as whole bean for grind-on-site brewing. A 1kg bag yields around 142 single shots at 7g each or 71 double shots at 14g, which covers a busy café morning. The Medium Roast leans toward smoother, balanced flavours suited to milk drinks; the Dark Roast carries more intensity for espresso and ristretto-style serves.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the roast profile?
Medium Roast is a smooth, balanced cup with low acidity and good crema, well-suited to flat whites and cappuccinos. Dark Roast is fuller-bodied with more intensity, the choice for venues that pull a lot of straight espresso or want a stronger backbone behind milk.

How many shots per kilo?
Around 142 single shots at 7g, or 71 double shots at 14g. At trade pricing of R465.83 excl VAT per kilo, that’s R3.26 per single shot or R6.56 per double, the coffee cost on a flat white before milk and packaging.

Shelf life from roast date?
Sealed bags hold flavour for 12 months from roast date. Once opened, store in an airtight container at room temperature and use within 4 weeks for peak flavour. Never freeze opened beans.
