VC blend - Vanille & Caramel

A lively blend with loads of aromas. 

This coffee blend has been created by the CoffeeNose 👃 to deliver a flavorful and budget-friendly option that can be enjoyed all year long.

This coffee tastes smooth & delicious with notes of dark chocolate, caramel, plum, vanilla & dried figs and a complex and lingering aftertaste.

Coffee is a fruit and we roast the dried seeds (coffee beans) skillfully on a light/medium level to showcase the fruity character. So you will taste high acidity, medium sweetness, medium bitterness and a smouth body.

Current blend components:

• Honduras - El Paraíso - Finca Santa Maria - Bourbon, Catimor (Parainema), Typica
• Peru La Loma - Washed Bourbon, Caturra

This blend works well with the following brewing methods:

• Manual Brewing / Drip Coffee (V60, Kalita, Chemex, etc, everything with a filter paper
• Manual Brewing / Full Immersion (Aeropress, Switch, Clever, Frech Press, Syphon, etc)
• Automatic Batch Brewing (Filter Coffee Machine like Moccamaster, Aiden, Bonavita, all machines that use paper filter
• Moka pot (Bialetti, etc)  
• Cold brew & Iced Coffee 
• Manual Espresso Brewing (if you like lighter OMNI roast)
• Suitable for full automatic "espresso" machines 

Espresso recipe

1. Dose

We recommend 17-19 grams of coffee for moderate acidity and notes of chocolate.

2. Grind

Adjust your grinder for this coffee to get a 48ml yield in 26-29 seconds for a double shot.

3. Brew 

Observe the flow and scale. A shot glass makes it easy to see the yield. The yield is more important than the shot time. Use a scale to observe both time and yield.

👉 The CoffeeNose 👃 sources only bold, clean, and sweet beans filled with fruity notes, ensuring the complexity and perfection of our coffees. 

Roasted freshly in house with 100% renewable energy.

For the curious, the connoisseurs, and everyone who knows coffee can be more.

Have you ever walked out of a café disappointed — knowing your cup could have been so much better?

Then this experience is for you.

The Coffee Omakase @ Amsterdam Coffee Lab is a guided, multi-course coffee tasting designed for specialty coffee enthusiasts, flavor explorers, and curious coffee lovers alike.

Each session is unique, interactive, and bursting with discovery — like a live culinary performance, but for coffee.

What to Expect

During this exclusive sensory journey, you’ll:

☕ Taste a curated lineup of exceptional coffees — washed, natural, and experimental processing methods (think anaerobic, co-ferment, honey, and even wild fermentation projects).

🌸 Experience rare varietals — including legendary coffees like Geisha, and other micro-lot gems from around the world.

🔬 Explore multiple brew styles — from delicate filter brews and bold espressi to the mesmerizing syphon method.

🥄 Try your hand at cupping — slurp and taste coffee like a professional taster, discovering aromas and acidity in new ways.

🍹 Enjoy surprising coffee mocktails — creative and refreshing, crafted from the same beans you’ll taste in the lineup.

👃 Engage your senses fully — experience how the aroma, cup shape, color, and even the sound of pouring influence your flavor perception.

A Guided Journey by the CoffeeNose 👃

Led by Wouter Brunia, also known as the CoffeeNose 👃, this tasting is a deep dive into coffee flavor and sensory science.

Like a sommelier presenting fine wines, Wouter will:

• Brew each coffee live with expert precision
• Share the stories of each bean — from farm to fermentation
• Explain flavor notes, processing methods, and varietal differences
• Help you understand why your favorite coffee tastes the way it does

It’s fun for your brain, taste buds, and nose — and you’ll leave with a new appreciation for what’s in your cup.

Each Omakase is Unique

No two tastings are ever the same.

Our coffees rotate constantly and often include exclusive lots — such as Geisha, co-fermented experiments, and rare micro-lots you won’t find in cafés.

Every visit promises something unexpected, thought-provoking, and delicious.

Who It’s For

• Specialty coffee geeks craving depth and discovery
• Curious coffee lovers ready to learn (and taste!) something new
