The coffee industry in Guatemala began to develop in the 1850s, with small plantations flourishing. Cultivation of coffee and the country's coffee industry was given a sizeable boost during the Liberal Revolution of 1871, when goals of modernisation and trade improvements caused the bean to become an especially important crop. To this day coffee remains one of Guatemala's main exports, along with sugar, textiles and bananas. The particular bean used in our medium and mellow Dark Maragogype is known as the 'Elephant Bean', which, as its name suggests, is selected because of its larger size. The Elephant Bean, grown in higher, temperate regions, produces a coffee that is smoother and richer in flavour than standard arabica beans, combined with a slight acidity, resulting in an all-round coffee that can be enjoyed from cafetiere or filters, or as a punchy espresso.

Dark Maragogype offers rich, smooth, full-bodied flavor with low acidity and no bitterness. Customers praised its "wonderful depth and strength" and "chocolatey" notes. The large beans create excellent espresso and coffee. However, some found it too strong or bitter, noting it's "an acquired taste" with a smoky finish that may not suit everyone.

Large - 908g / Cafetiere

Fabulous coffee always freshly ground.The coffee has a wonderful depth and strength without being bitter. I have been buying it for over 3 years and the quality is always fantastic, i get so many friends who visit tell me what a lovely cup of coffee and ask me for the name and where to buy. I always recommend Coffee Direct and i also give 5 stars for quick delivery.

Beans are mostly large, but

Beans are mostly large, but there’s also a noticeable amount of small and chipped/broken pieces. The roast is extremely dark. On the nose: smoky notes and a hint of scorched grain. The beans look glossy, with visible surface oils and some residual moisture. In the cup (espresso) it’s very intense and full-bodied, with virtually no acidity. The finish is distinctly smoky, with a burnt-leather edge. Overall, not bad — but definitely an acquired taste.

‘Unique’ flavour

Whilst i really enjoy a strong black coffee, i found this undrinkable to the extent i threw the pack away. It’s not a poor reflection on coffee direct, merely that the flavour of this coffee significantly differs from many others.

First class Maragogype beans.

The last time Maragogype was in my store cupboard was decades ago. It was a joy to find this big bean in yours. The dark roast worried me at first but it was truly delicious when I tasted it. It makes me happy that the rich smooth Maragogype is back in my life. Thank you Coffee Direct.

My review is straightforward. I

My review is straightforward. I have not previously tried the two coffees I purchased. The presentation and description of the coffee in respect of flavour etc etc was in my opinion exactly what the product delivered which is the most important aspect of any commercial enterprise. I will therefore have confidence in making future purchases

Very surprised, as I don’t usually drink dark roast. This coffee is bold and smooth and went great with latte! Couldn’t taste any acidity, which wasn’t a good or bad thing. A good dark roast and would like to try this bean in a medium roast too.

Great, full flavoured coffee.

Really good, full flavour that isn't too high in caffeine which I find ideal as a coffee to drink whilst working. It's got enough to perk me up without making me feel jittery or upsetting my stomach. This is ideal, as I drink quite a lot during the day.

Very good tasting cofee, particularly

Very good tasting cofee, particularly not sour in flavour which I have found hard to find. Quite a dark roast. Does need fine grinding to generate espresso level resistance for a shot
