Your expert A question about this product?

When does your coffee reveal its full potential?

At Chronic., we roast our coffees every day. We always try to send them out after a short resting period, but sometimes, when demand runs high, they may reach you very fresh.

After roasting, coffee keeps evolving. It gradually releases the carbon dioxide built up during roasting, which lets the cup settle into balance. Notes that are too sharp or pronounced soften, making room for more precision, sweetness and complexity. Letting coffee rest means giving it time to show everything it has.

We recommend resting it for at least 15 days after roasting. For our seasonal and exceptional coffees, the ideal tasting window is usually 3 to 6 weeks after roasting.

The best way to brew it

Some coffees show their aromas best with a particular brewing method, and that's what we recommend here. Of course, feel free to experiment with other methods. We love hearing what you think.

Meet the Producer

FAIRTRADESMALLHOLDERS IN PERU AND CR3-KAFFEEVEREDELUNG (DECAFFEINATION)

With decaf, the producer question comes up twice. There are the people who grow the coffee, and there's the one who takes the caffeine out. The second step can undo all the work of the first.

Our lot goes to Bremen, to CR3. They've done nothing else for decades, and they're one of the few companies in Europe working with natural liquid CO2.

The principle fits in a few lines. The green coffee is moistened with water, then brought into contact with pressurised liquid CO2 sourced from a freshwater spring in northern Germany. The CO2 flows through the beans and picks up the caffeine. The process is repeated until the target residual level is reached, then the coffee is slowly dried back to its original moisture. The extracted caffeine isn't thrown away: it's recovered and goes into other products.

No chemical solvents at any stage. That's what keeps the organic certification, and above all the aromas. Methylene chloride or ethyl acetate processes are faster and cheaper, but they strip out some of the flavour along with the caffeine. CO2 is more precise: it targets the molecule and leaves the rest alone.

That's why this 11PM doesn't taste like decaf. No cardboard notes, no hole in the middle of the cup. Real coffee, without waking up at 3am.

all about this coffee

PERU

Peru is one of the biggest producers of organic coffee on the planet, and yet it has no iconic large estate to showcase. It’s the land of very small plots.

The average is under one hectare. The coffee trees grow between 1,200 and 1,600 metres on the Andean slopes, where the mountain range starts to tip toward the Amazon. Each family depulps, ferments and dries its coffee at home, on a tarp or under a makeshift dryer, before bringing its parchment coffee down to the cooperative.

The cooperative handles the rest. It brings the lots together, checks quality, manages export and negotiates prices. Without it, these producers are left at the mercy of middlemen who drive by in pick-ups with rough scales. That’s also why Fairtrade has a real meaning here, it guarantees a minimum price for people who have no bargaining power on their own.

The varieties are classic, Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, Catimor, Pache. The harvest runs from March to September, in several passes since everything does not ripen at the same time, and washed coffee is by far the most common process.

In the cup, it makes for a steady coffee, in the best sense of the word. Low acidity, a profile built around cocoa, black pepper and blond tobacco, a solid base that can handle a darker roast without falling apart. Exactly what you want from an evening coffee.

When 11pm strikes and you fancy a coffee

We created 11PM for everyone who refuses to choose between pleasure and sleep. This exceptional decaf coffee comes straight from the Peruvian highlands, where our partner producers grow an arabica with subtle notes of spice and pepper.

Slowly roasted in our Swiss roastery, these organic, Fairtrade coffee beans (also available ground) reveal their full aromatic richness without ever costing you a night's sleep. Light intensity and a sweet balance make it the perfect companion for your evenings, whether you brew it as an espresso or in your bean-to-cup machine.

No more late-night palpitations: with 11PM you enjoy a genuine smooth coffee that respects both the producers and your body clock. Because good coffee should never stop you dreaming.

Treat yourself to a calm end to every evening with our coffee subscription.

Chronic 11PM is among the best decaf options we've found in Switzerland. The only variety we've preferred is Chronic’s Pink Bourbon.
