Bright Cassis – a vibrant omniroast with cassis note

Black currant, a sharp, clear drive and a freshness that almost reminds of a light summer wine: Bright Cassis is our brightest light omniroast from Ethiopia – energetic, fruity and made for those who seek liveliness in the cup.

We roast it in our Swiss coffee roastery intentionally light to foreground its cassis note and the uplifting freshness.

Altitude Air from Guji

Bright Cassis originates from the Tero Farm in the Ethiopian region of Guji. At 1800 to 2200 meters a.s.l., heirloom varieties thrive on nutrient-rich volcanic soil, bio-certified – this terroir gives the coffee its distinctive freshness and aromatic depth.

Where our Wild Peach captures the warm sweetness of sun-ripe stone fruit, Bright Cassis comes across as clear, sparkling and awake.

Lightly roasted, clear in expression

As an omniroast, Bright Cassis is made for multiple preparations. The light roast highlights its lively acidity and the clear berry fruit – in the cup a precise play of cassis, berries and invigorating freshness.

Heat and grind size control the expression: finer and hotter brings more sweetness to espresso, coarser and calmer lets the fruit glow in filter.

At a glance

What Bright Cassis tastes like in the cup

As an espresso it is fruity and lively, with cassis in front. We extract by weight ratio, 1:2 as a starting point – about 18 g of coffee to 36 g of espresso. In filter or pour-over it shows most clearly: sparkling berry fruit with a long, fresh aftertaste.

There is no right or wrong – the coffee should taste good to you, that is the only thing that matters. And because beans, humidity and you change daily, no two cups are exactly the same.

Who Bright Cassis is made for

For everyone who loves freshness, clarity and complexity – and for the curious who seek a fruity-sparkling coffee beyond chocolate and nuts. Whether espresso, filter or pour-over: there is room to explore here. You don’t need any prior knowledge.

What you need for it

Light beans want a consistent grind size. In the coffee grinders you’ll find affordable and precise options like the Varia VS3, while the Varia VS6 offers more room; grind by hand with the Comandante hand grinders.

For filter and pour-over the Brewers from the Hario Collection or the AeroPress – both affordable and versatile; if you want more, you’ll find in the Weber Workshops assortment the BIRD. To balance the ratio, a scale helps: compact from the Normcore Collection, with app and flow display from the Acaia Collection.
