More About Duette Stoer
Sophia’s Coffee Duette Stoer is a powerful and spicy coffee blend made with beans from Brazil and Togo. This blend offers a rich, full-bodied flavour and packs quite a kick. The result is a coffee that is especially popular in fully automatic espresso machines for its robust character and consistent quality.
Origin and farmers
Duette Stoer combines coffees from two continents. Part of the beans come from Brazil, a traditional coffee country where coffee has been cultivated for centuries in regions such as Santos. The Brazilian plantations produce milder arabica beans with a full body and subtle sweetness. The other part consists of beans from West Africa, namely Togo. In Togo's lush Plateau region, smallholder farmers mainly grow Robusta coffee. This area, with its tropical climate and volcanic soil, is known for bold flavors and beans with a high caffeine content. Using such an unusual origin gives the blend a unique story in the coffee industry.
Roast profile
All Sophia’s Coffee beans, including Duette Stoer, are artisanally medium roasted using the slow roast method. By roasting slowly at a moderate temperature, all flavor tones develop optimally. Roasting is done in small batches, always using the most recently available harvests of green beans of the highest quality. Freshness is central: coffee never leaves the roastery later than three weeks after roasting. Roasting takes place twice a week, which ensures efficient production with minimal waste. This roast profile delivers consistent, fresh coffee with a balanced yet powerful flavor.
Flavor and aroma
This blend stands out for a distinctive flavor profile. Expect a powerful, rich cup of coffee full of spicy notes. A full body is experienced with nuances of nuts and even a hint of salmiak licorice in the background. The aromas are intense and evoke dark chocolate and earth, partly thanks to the African robusta. The lower acidity and high body result in a gentle bitterness without a sharp edge. Altogether it is a robust coffee with a warming, spicy aroma that lingers long in the mouth.
Processing Method
The coffee beans used in Duette Stoer undergo a traditional dry processing method. Both origins dry the coffee cherries in the sun so the beans slowly absorb the sugars from the pulp. This natural process, without full water fermentation, yields beans with a fuller body and a richer, slightly fruity undertone. Brazilian coffee is often processed in this 'natural' way, which contributes to the characteristic mild sweetness and nutty flavor. The robusta beans from Togo are also dried in the tropical sun, preserving their raw power and earthy aromas. This processing method results in less acidity but a firmer tasting coffee, perfectly matching the bold character of the blend.
Variety and species
Duette Stoer is a blend of two coffee species: Arabica and Robusta. From Brazil mainly arabica beans (Coffea arabica) are sourced, which provide a rounded taste and aromatic complexity. From Togo comes the robusta component (Coffea canephora), known for its powerful body and extra caffeine. Arabica generally has a softer, more refined flavor with light fruity or chocolatey notes, while robusta is typically more bitter and fuller. Robusta contains almost twice as much caffeine as arabica, which contributes to the strong boost and does justice to the name 'Stoer'. By blending smartly, this coffee makes the best of both types: the rich flavor of arabica and the intense punch of robusta.
Sustainability and ethics
Sophia’s Coffee pays attention to sustainability both at source and in the roastery. The coffee beans are sourced from fresh harvests, meaning farmers can benefit annually from new purchases of quality crops. In Togo work is also being done to improve quality and adopt more sustainable cultivation methods, so that local coffee production has a fair future. In the roastery itself operations are as green as possible. Roasting is done with modern equipment that runs partly on solar energy. By roasting only twice a week, energy is used efficiently and waste is reduced. The choice for simple paper packaging further underlines the environmentally conscious approach. Finally, Sophia’s Coffee is rooted in the local community: started as a coffee bar in Barneveld and grown into a supplier for offices and hospitality, with a focus on fair and personal business.
Brewing Recommendations
Duette Stoer can be prepared in various ways for an optimal result:
-
Espresso: Ideal for a bold espresso with full crema. The blend was developed for bean-to-cup machines and espresso machines, so a powerful shot is achieved with a stable crema layer.
-
Cappuccino: Excellent in milk-based recipes. The intense flavor cuts through milk, and the robusta ensures the coffee taste stays firmly present in cappuccinos or lattes.
-
Filter coffee: Even as a filter brew it makes a delightful cup. Use a slightly coarser grind, and a full, rich filter coffee with low acidity and plenty of depth will be obtained.
-
French press: Those who enjoy a strong cup can prepare this coffee in the cafetière (French press). The longer contact time emphasizes the full body and spicy notes, resulting in a truly robust mug.
Recognition and reviews
Although Duette Stoer itself has not (yet) won any official awards, it receives a lot of praise from enthusiasts. Sophia’s Coffee is known for quality coffee; one reviewer calls it 'without a doubt the best coffee in Barneveld'. Customer ratings are correspondingly high: on social media 100% of reviewers recommend the coffee. The roastery's reputation is excellent, with loyal local customers and business buyers who appreciate the coffee daily. A fun fact is that Sophia’s Coffee's beans are even used in an artisanal coffee liqueur from a local distillery, and that liqueur won a silver medal (ISC 2020), which indirectly underlines the quality of the coffee beans. All this recognition from reviews and collaborations confirms that Duette Stoer performs in practice just as well as it sounds on paper.
Packaging design
*Image: Sophia’s Coffee packs Duette Stoer in a sturdy, resealable bag.* The coffee is packaged in a simply designed kraft paper bag with the Sophia’s Coffee logo printed in black. This minimalist packaging appears artisanal and sustainable. Each bag is equipped with a one-way valve to allow excess carbon dioxide to escape and to preserve the aromas, so the coffee stays fresher for longer. The bag also has a resealable strip, enabling airtight storage of the beans after opening. The design is functional above all, it focuses on the freshness and quality of the contents rather than flashy branding. Sometimes the packaging may differ slightly from the version shown, depending on batch or size, but it consistently retains a no-nonsense style that suits the honest, pure coffee.
Availability and price
Duette Stoer is easy to obtain for both private customers and businesses. The coffee can be ordered via the Sophia’s Coffee webshop and is delivered quickly to homes (or offices, since the roastery also supplies businesses). In addition, the beans are available locally at a partner shop in Barneveld, which is convenient for those who like to buy on site. Packaging options include 250 g, 500 g or 1 kg, in both whole bean and ground variants. The smallest 250-gram bag costs around €11 to €12, while a one-kilogram package costs approximately €28. Large packages are relatively cheaper per kilo, ideal for heavy users. Sophia’s Coffee also offers sample packs and subscriptions, so it is possible to try the coffee affordably or receive a regular fresh supply. Duette Stoer is therefore attractively arranged both in price and availability for the coffee lover.
