FAQs
Who this suits: Best for coffee drinkers who enjoy a light, fruity cup and prefer to drink it black.
What's the best way to brew Blend 1?
It's built for filter and pour-over (V60), which is where its delicate apricot, berry and floral notes come through best — also good as cold drip or espresso.
Should I add milk?
We'd recommend drinking it black — it's a light roast made to be savoured for its sweet, delicate notes, which milk can mute.
Is this a good match for espresso?
It works, but its personality really shines as a filter coffee — that's where the cherry, berry and apricot character comes through most clearly.
How fresh will my coffee be?
We roast in small batches in Robe, SA and only roast what we expect to sell, so your coffee never sits around for long. When we're busy, it's often roasted the same day you order. Order by 3pm for same day shipping.
