Bright Cassis – A vibrant omniroast with a cassis note
Blackcurrant, a zesty, clear drive, and a freshness almost reminiscent of a light summer wine: Bright Cassis is our brightest light omniroast from Ethiopia – energetic, fruity, and made for those seeking vibrancy in their cup.
We roast it light in our Swiss coffee roastery to emphasize its cassis note and invigorating freshness.
High Altitude from Guji
Bright Cassis comes from the Tero Farm in the Ethiopian region of Guji. At an altitude of 1800 to 2200 meters, Heirloom varieties thrive on nutrient-rich volcanic soil, organically certified – this terroir gives the coffee its distinctive freshness and aromatic depth.
Where our Wild Peach captures the warm sweetness of sun-ripened stone fruit, Bright Cassis is clear, zesty, and awakening.
Lightly roasted, clear in expression
As an omniroast, Bright Cassis is made for multiple brewing methods. The light roast emphasizes its lively acidity and clear berry fruit – in the cup, a precise interplay of cassis, berries, and invigorating freshness.
Temperature and grind size control the expression: finer and hotter brings more sweetness to the espresso, coarser and gentler allows the fruit to shine in a filter brew.

How Bright Cassis tastes in the cup
As an espresso, it is fruity and lively, with cassis in the foreground. We extract by weight ratio, 1:2 as a starting point – about 18g coffee to 36g espresso. In a filter or pour-over, it shows its clearest: zesty berry fruit with a long, fresh aftertaste.
There is no right or wrong here – the coffee must taste good to you, that's all that matters. And because the bean, humidity, and even you change daily, no two cups will be exactly alike.
Who Bright Cassis is for
For all who love freshness, clarity, and complexity – and for the curious who are looking for a fruity-zesty coffee beyond chocolate and nuts. Whether espresso, filter, or pour-over: there is room for discovery here. No prior knowledge is required.
What you need for it
Light beans require a consistent grind. In the coffee grinders section, you'll find affordable and precise options like the Varia VS3, while the Varia VS6 offers more flexibility; for hand grinding, use the Comandante hand grinders.
For filter and pour-over, the brewers from the Hario Collection or the AeroPress are suitable – both affordable and versatile; for those who want more, the Weber Workshops range offers the BIRD. To ensure the correct ratio, a scale helps: compact from the Normcore Collection, with app and flow display from the Acaia Collection.
