    "content_text": "L\u00f6fbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee: Reading the Label, in summary: Organic, all Arabica and roasted to medium, this is ground for the cafeti\u00e8re and filter machine: toasted hazelnut, warm cereal, a soft cocoa weight and a clean, dry finish. Keep it away from the espresso machine.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nTwo words on the front of this pack do most of the explaining: organic, and Arabica with nothing else blended in. L\u00f6fbergs grinds this one for the everyday cafeti\u00e8re rather than for the espresso machine, and the label explains most of how it tastes.\nArabica only, and why that matters in a ground coffee \nArabica and robusta are two different species of coffee. Arabica is the gentler, sweeter species with more aroma; robusta brings weight and a rubbery, grippy edge that is often blamed on the cafeti\u00e8re. A pack labelled 100% Arabica has left robusta out entirely, which is why this cup drinks cleanly without sugar. In a ground coffee, bought to be used every day rather than fussed over, the species in the bag decides more than technique does.\nThe roast is medium and the style is the Swedish daily cup: round, gentle on acidity, with a dry close. Expect toasted hazelnut and warm cereal at the front, a gentle cocoa heaviness beneath that never turns into a sweet chocolate taste, and very little sharpness at the edges. It is built for mug after mug through a morning, drunk black, rather than for a single cup admired and set aside.\nWhat the organic claim does and does not tell you \nOrganic is in the product's name, and the law requires an organic claim to be backed by a named certifying body, whose code appears on the pack. Read those from the bag you receive; they are the proof, not our description. Organic does not imply any other mark. L\u00f6fbergs lists Rainforest Alliance certification for its Brazil, Colombia and Espresso lines, but this pack's own certifications are whatever its label shows, so do not read Fairtrade or anything else into the word organic alone.\nThe claim has history behind it. L\u00f6fbergs imported the first organic coffee into Sweden in 1995 and is now one of the largest buyers of organic and Fairtrade coffee, still family-owned and still roasting in Karlstad. Among the L\u00f6fbergs lines we carry, this is the organic one, and it comes ground; anyone after organic whole beans will need to look beyond this bag.\nCafeti\u00e8re yes, espresso machine no \nThis is a filter grind. It suits a cafeti\u00e8re, a drip machine or a slow hand pour, and it will manage in a moka pot at a push. In an espresso machine it fails: the grounds are too coarse to resist the water, which rushes through and leaves a thin, sour shot. If you want espresso, buy whole beans and grind them fine; this bag is for the longer brews.\nFor a cafeti\u00e8re, use a kettle that has rested for a moment rather than water at a rolling boil, which scorches the aroma and pulls bitterness out of a coffee that has very little. Then buy in the size you will finish. Ground coffee fades far faster than beans, so a 250g pack emptied inside a few weeks tastes better at the end than a large bag slowly going stale.\nThe packs we stock \n\nL\u00f6fbergs Organic 100% Arabica Ground Coffee, 250g (barcode 7310050015156)\n\nWhat to eat with it \n\nBorder Dark Chocolate Ginger Organic Biscuits, 150g: An organic biscuit beside an organic coffee, with dark chocolate to match the soft cocoa weight and ginger to liven up a mild cup.\nMcVitie's Hobnobs Milk Chocolate Biscuits, 262g: Oats and milk chocolate suit the toasted, cereal-like front of this coffee.\nMaryland Cookies Double Chocolate, 200g: For when you want the chocolate the coffee only hints at, in cookie form beside a black mug.\n\nElsewhere in the L\u00f6fbergs range \nL\u00f6fbergs Brazil Coffee Lovers Medium Roast Whole Bean, 400gL\u00f6fbergs Brazil Single Origin Ground Coffee, 250gL\u00f6fbergs Brazil Single Origin Whole Coffee Beans, 1kgL\u00f6fbergs Colombia Single Origin Ground Coffee, 250gL\u00f6fbergs Espresso Whole Coffee Beans, 1kg\nThe full range is on the L\u00f6fbergs brand page.\nFAQ\nWhat does 100% Arabica mean on a coffee pack? That the pack contains only the Arabica species of coffee, with no robusta blended in, which gives a softer, sweeter cup.\nCan I use it in a moka pot? At a push, yes, though it is ground for filter and cafeti\u00e8re. The espresso machine is the one brewer it does not suit, because the water runs straight through.\nWhich organic certification does it carry? The pack itself names the certifying body and its code, as any organic claim must; read them from the bag in your hands.\nHow does it compare with the L\u00f6fbergs Brazil Single Origin Ground? Both are ground for filter and both are soft and low in acidity. The Brazil is a single-country coffee with a heavier, cocoa-led body; this is the organic choice, drier and cleaner on the finish.\nDoes it need sugar? Most people will not want any. Leaving robusta out removes the rubbery edge that sugar usually gets added to hide.\nCurator's note: Put it in a cafeti\u00e8re, pour a big mug, drink it black and leave the espresso machine for something else. In the right pot it is a very easy morning coffee.
