Expert Review and Insights
Beaumont has delivered something genuinely interesting here. The No.3 Excelso isn't a dark, brooding coffee; it’s vibrant and almost playful on the palate. The wine gum and gooseberry notes are distinct without being overpowering, making it a fantastic choice for filter or pourover methods where that clarity can really be appreciated. It’s a sophisticated bean for businesses looking to stand out.

- Standout Flavour: The bright, fruity notes are exceptionally clean and well-defined.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular brunch spot in Bristol, wanted to upgrade from their generic coffee blend to something that would get customers talking. They needed a bean that was both high-quality and consistent to handle their high-volume weekend service.
"We switched to the Beaumont No.3 Excelso beans and the feedback was instant. Customers started asking what coffee we were using, and our baristas found it a dream to work with. It's clean, consistent, and has that 'wow' factor we were missing."
Robert Davies – Head Barista
Since making the switch, The Copper Kettle has seen a 30% increase in takeaway coffee sales and notes a significant rise in positive online reviews mentioning their coffee specifically.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Best Brew
- Always grind your beans immediately before brewing to preserve the delicate aromas and flavours.
- For espresso, start with a fine grind and aim for a 25-30 second extraction time for a double shot.
- For filter or French press, use a coarser grind to avoid a bitter, over-extracted taste.
- Experiment with your water-to-coffee ratio; a good starting point is 60g of coffee per litre of water.
Keeping It Fresh
- Store these beans in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
- The original bag has a valve, but an opaque, sealed canister is your best bet for long-term storage.
- Never, ever store your coffee beans in the fridge or freezer! Condensation is the enemy of freshness.
- For best results, aim to use the entire bag within 2-3 weeks of opening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these beans suitable for espresso machines?
A: Absolutely. While their bright profile shines in filter methods, they make a fantastic, modern espresso. As they are 100% Arabica, they produce a rich crema and a complex, fruity shot that stands out from darker, more traditional Beaumont No.3 espresso beans.
Q: What does 'Excelso' mean?
A: Excelso is a grading term for Colombian coffee, referring to bean size. Excelso beans are slightly smaller than Supremo beans, but the term is primarily about size and doesn't solely determine the quality, which in this case is exceptional.
Q: Are these oily beans?
A: No, not at all. These are a medium-light roast, so the beans have a dry, matte surface. Oily beans are typically a sign of a very dark roast, which would obscure the delicate flavours of this coffee.
Q: How should I store the 1kg bag once opened?
A: For best results, decant the beans into a smaller, opaque, airtight container. If using the bag, squeeze out all the air, reseal it tightly, and store it in a cool, dark cupboard.
Q: Is this coffee ethically sourced?
A: Beaumont works with reputable sources to ensure high standards. The 'washed process' and high-altitude growing are indicative of speciality-grade coffee, which typically involves better practices and prices for farmers.
Q: Can I use these in a bean-to-cup machine?
A: Yes, they are perfect for bean-to-cup machines. Their non-oily nature is ideal for the internal grinders, and they will produce a consistently delicious and aromatic coffee.
Q: What's the best brewing temperature for this coffee?
A: Aim for water that is just off the boil, ideally between 92-96°C. This temperature is hot enough to extract the flavours properly without scalding the grounds and creating bitterness.
Q: How does the 'washed process' affect the caffeine level?
A: The processing method has a negligible effect on caffeine. As a 100% Arabica bean, it will have slightly less caffeine than a Robusta bean, but the flavour is the main differentiator here.
The Beaumont Difference: Consistency in Every Cup
Choosing Beaumont for your coffee supply is about more than just flavour notes and origin; it's an investment in consistency and reliability. For any cafe, hotel, or restaurant, serving a fantastic coffee one day and a mediocre one the next is a recipe for losing customers. Beaumont's commitment to hand-roasting in the UK provides a level of quality control that's hard to match. Each batch of the No.3 Excelso is roasted with precision, ensuring the flavour profile you and your customers love remains the same, bag after bag. This operational peace of mind is invaluable. It means your baristas can dial in their grinders and trust the result, service after service. In the long run, this brand trust translates into your brand trust, building a loyal following who know they can count on you for an exceptional cup of coffee every single time.
Explore more from BeaumontWhy the 'Washed Process' Creates a Cleaner Cup
Ever wondered what 'washed process' actually means on a bag of coffee? Think of it like washing fresh fruit before you eat it. After coffee cherries are picked, the beans inside need to be removed from the fruity pulp. In the washed process, all of the fruit flesh is scrubbed off the bean with water *before* it's dried. This clean-centric method is a bit more work, but it has a massive impact on the taste.
By removing the fruit early on, the final flavour of the bean is all about what’s inside, not what was on the outside. This results in a coffee with a cleaner, brighter, and more transparent flavour profile. It allows the subtle, intrinsic notes of the bean itself—like the gooseberry and complex acidity in this Excelso—to shine through without being muddled by fermented fruit flavours. It’s the go-to method for producers who want to showcase a coffee’s pure, crisp character.
