Description

Burundi = exceptional

Buy 500g or 1kg of 100% Arabica medium-roasted whole coffee beans.

A coffee so exceptional, we have elevated the Burundi into our elite group of Grand Cru selections.

We started offering Burundi coffees in 2012 when Burundi was unknown as a quality coffee origin.

Over the last decade, we have provided many high-quality Burundi coffees to our mycuppa customers.

Today, Burundi has built up a legendary following amongst our customers, with many loyal coffee enthusiasts instantly selecting Burundi as their regular, go-to coffee.

We now regard Burundi coffees as one of our top handful of origins. Burundi remains a core product offering within our extensive portfolio.

It resembles an Ethiopian Sidamo but is more complex, has more body, has deeper chocolate notes, and has a longer finish.

Superb in either espresso, milk, filter, or plunger - a versatile coffee.

About Burundi

As a small, landlocked African country, Burundi's coffee production is tiny compared to that of its African neighbours.

However, the attention and care provided by the farmers of Burundi coffee to their crops is first-rate.

You will always be satisfied with our Burundi!

We source our Burundi from the highly respected Akawa Project.

It is a genuinely fantastic coffee displaying cup flavours of blackcurrant, caramel, and cocoa with a long, rich, persistent finish.

mycuppa uses a full cast iron coffee roaster for maximum flavor and sweetness

Why our coffees are different

Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.

how we roast your coffee

Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

mycuppa explains the delicate balance when roasting coffees for exceptional flavors
Whole bean coffee stays fresher for much longer than ground coffees

Ground coffee is poor value

Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.

The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.

Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.

If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.

Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.

Burundi Rocks

We have been buying Burundi coffees from mycuppa since 2012. In all that time the coffees have been stunning, never a bad one. Sure, the taste profile shifts around from season to season, but what we admire most is the ability for them to extract the best from the coffee and they do this time after time. Burundi coffee is heavenly.

Smashingly good

Was not expecting this. Great tasting coffee that is so far above anything else we have bought, including all the fancy pants brands. These guys are seriously flying under the radar.

How do you do it

Surrounded by so-called coffee snobs in our friends group, they argue and debate the best coffee brands. But you see it is all just hype and posturing because they pay twice as much compared to what we pay at mycuppa and I bet they are getting barely half the pleasure or deal. One of our friends said recently, crikey that coffee was perfect, what is it. I replied - a Burundi. Never tasted coffee that good.

Take me to the clouds above

I'm a fussy coffee drinker. Been there and done that, many times over. It takes something really special to rock my boat when it comes to coffee. So when I found this unknown coffee called Burundi, I just had to google it up. Never ever heard of this country before. Curiousity got the better of me and I ordered a pack. Goodness me it is delicious. Blown away.

Shame the scoring system is limited to just 5. This coffee deserves that and a whole lot more. Thank you.
