Buy Coffee Beans Per Kilo – Top 3 Selections from Zwarte Roes

Buying coffee by the kilo is not only smart for your wallet, it is also better for the taste, consistency and convenience.

Whether you brew at home, in the office or even on board a boat: a 1kg bag of freshly roasted beans keeps your coffee quality high and waste low.

At Zwarte Roes we roast to order and focus on specialty coffee. Many of our returning customers consciously choose the kilo, and keep coming back for our three most popular coffees.

Why buy coffee beans per kilo?

Let’s keep it simple. Buying coffee by the kilo makes sense when:

You drink coffee daily

If you make coffee every day, whether that's one cup in the morning or several spread throughout the day, small 250g bags aren't that practical.

At that rate, you'll have to place a new order every week or two, which costs time, extra shipping costs, and the risk of running out before the next shipment arrives.

A 1 kg bag is good for approximately 125 cups of coffee (based on 8 g per cup).

That's enough for one person for about a month, or a small household for two weeks. In the office it's faster of course. Buying per kilo ensures a constant supply without having to order again and again.

Many of our customers drink coffee daily and say that the kilo size gives them peace of mind. It's one less thing to think about in the morning.

You want to save on the price per gram

Buying in bulk almost always reduces the price per unit, and coffee is no different. At Zwarte Roes we offer our kilo bags at a lower price per gram than the smaller packages.

So you get the same freshly roasted specialty coffee, but at a lower price.

If you're serious about drinking good coffee and not just grabbing something off the shelf, this is the way to keep it affordable and of high quality.

Think of it like stocking up on provisions for a long journey: you buy what you trust, and you get a better deal.

The savings add up. Even a difference of just €0.50 per 250g adds up considerably over a few months.

You want less packaging waste

One 1kg bag produces significantly less waste than four 250g bags. That means less material used in production and less mess in your bin. If you are environmentally conscious or simply fed up with all that packaging material, then this is a practical gain.

Our packaging is designed to keep your coffee as fresh as possible while reducing waste. But every bag has a production and recycling cost. By switching to larger packaging, you reduce the carbon footprint of your coffee routine.

It's a small adjustment, but one that counts, especially within a community of conscious coffee drinkers.

You want to avoid running out too quickly

Running out of coffee is annoying. But just when you need it: in the morning, before a meeting or at the weekend, it is even worse. With a supply of 1 kg this problem almost disappears.

No need to keep track of how many cups you can make. No last-minute orders or settling for inferior supermarket beans. With enough stock, you can focus on making better coffee, instead of refilling it all the time.

This is especially important in places where you make coffee for multiple people, such as in the office or in a shared household. What really counts then is continuity.

If you store your beans properly

A common concern: won't a larger bag go stale faster? Understandable, but easy to prevent. If you store the beans correctly, they will stay fresh for weeks, especially if you brew daily.

Here's how you do it:

• Close the bag well after each use.
  
  

• Store in a cool, dry and dark place, not in the refrigerator.
  
  

• Use an airtight storage jar if you prefer to work in batches.
  
  

At Zwarte Roes we roast fresh to order, and our packaging is equipped with a one-way valve. This allows the gas to escape without air getting in, which improves shelf life.

For even more freshness, some customers divide the kilo into smaller, airtight jars and open them one at a time. This way, you get the benefits of bulk without sacrificing flavor.
