Coffee beans (per kilo)

1kg Whole Bean Coffee at Terres de Café

Choosing 1kg whole bean coffee is often the natural next step for specialty coffee lovers who have found their favourite roast and want to make sure they always have it on hand. Our 1 kg format offers the same coffee quality as our smaller bags: the same lots, the same artisanal coffee roasting carried out in the Paris region – only the quantity changes.

This larger format is designed for regular coffee drinkers, whether you use an espresso machine at home, prepare coffee at the office or simply need to keep a frequently used coffee grinder well supplied.

How to Choose Your 1kg Whole Bean Coffee

Choosing the right 1kg coffee beans depends primarily on the flavour profile you enjoy and the roast profile associated with each coffee.

• Los Pinos: a blend from Nueva Segovia in Nicaragua, roasted for espresso and offering notes of dark chocolate, pecan and sesame.
• Bob-O-Link Organic: an organic coffee from Brazil, ideal for coffee lovers looking for a certified organic option.
• Classic Espresso: a versatile everyday blend designed to perform well as espresso while also lending itself to other brewing methods.
• Fazendas: a Brazilian classic with a balanced profile, low perceived acidity and a creamy body – a reliable choice for everyday espresso.

Each product page provides detailed information about the coffee's origin, region or farm, its Specialty Coffee Association score when applicable, and its roast profile, helping you choose your coffee beans according to their characteristics rather than the product name alone.

Whole Bean vs Ground Coffee: Which Is Better for a 1kg Format?

Whole bean coffee generally retains its aromatic qualities for longer than ground coffee, as grinding dramatically increases the surface area exposed to oxygen and accelerates the loss of volatile aromas.

This becomes particularly important with a 1 kg bag, which may remain open for longer than a smaller format. Grinding only the amount of coffee you need immediately before brewing gives you greater control over freshness and grind size.

If you prefer the convenience of coffee that is ready to brew, explore our selection of ground coffee, featuring carefully selected coffees available pre-ground for different brewing methods.

How to Store a 1kg Bag of Whole Bean Coffee

A 1kg bag of coffee beans usually takes longer to consume than a 250 g bag, making proper storage particularly important once the coffee has been opened.

Keep your whole bean coffee away from light, heat, moisture and significant temperature fluctuations. Ideally, keep the coffee in its original resealable bag with a one-way valve or transfer it to a suitable airtight container.

For everyday storage, a cool, dry cupboard is generally preferable to the refrigerator, where repeated exposure to moisture and temperature changes can affect the coffee. Grinding your beans only when you need them will also help preserve their aromatic qualities for longer.
