    I am Jessica Randhawa, the head chef, recipe creator, photographer, and writer behind The Forked Spoon. I create delicious family-friendly recipes that anyone can make, and my website has over one million users per month.

    I am a coffee addict. If I don't have two drinks a day from one of my Jura Super Automatic Espresso Machines in my test kitchens, I get a headache.

    My absolute favorite whole beans to add to my Jura's is Trader Joe's Bolivian Blend, which is Fair Trade, medium-bodied, very low acidity, and has lovely caramel notes. It makes very nice espresso and ristretto - better than very expensive specialty beans and coffees.

    I am independent from both Jura or Trader Joe's :)

More Details

Roast Level: Medium Dark
Medium-dark or Vienna roast coffee features a deeper, richer flavor profile due to its longer roasting time. When selecting a Vienna roast, look for a lower acidity, bolder body, and flavors with dark chocolate, caramel, toasted nut notes, and mild smokiness.
Bean Source Country: Bolivia
While relatively limited in production volume, Bolivian coffee thrives in a cool climate and volcanic soil. The high altitude, often reaching 1,500 meters above sea level and beyond, contributes to a slower maturation process, allowing the flavors to develop more fully and resulting in a nuanced cup. This terroir gives Bolivian specialty coffee an exceptional taste, characterized by the harmonious blend of caramel, chocolate, and fruity undertones.
Organic
Organic coffee is produced without synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and artificial fertilizers. Instead, organic coffee farmers rely on natural and sustainable agricultural practices like crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control. To be labeled as organic, coffee must meet strict regulations and certification criteria set by governing bodies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the European Union (EU). Organic coffee not only supports environmental sustainability but may also offer health benefits, as it contains fewer chemical residues than conventionally grown coffee.
Fair trade
Fair-trade coffee refers to coffee beans that are produced, traded, and sold following a set of ethical and social standards designed to ensure fair treatment of farmers and workers in the coffee industry. Fair Trade organizations work to create a more equitable global trade model by prioritizing the well-being of small-scale coffee producers and farm workers, primarily in developing countries.
