    Coarse grind. A little cooler water keeps the dark chocolate smooth. Stir after 1 minute, then plunge slowly at 4 minutes

    Only use filtered water — tap water spoils great coffee.

    What's in the bag

    Three origins, one blend

    Each origin brings something different to the cup.

    1

    Brazil (Arabica)

    The smooth, chocolatey backbone of the blend. Brazilian Arabica is grown at lower altitudes in the Cerrádo and Sul de Minas regions, producing beans with low acidity, a heavy body, and natural nutty sweetness.

    2

    Nicaragua (Arabica)

    Grown in the highlands of Jinotega and Matagalpa, Nicaraguan coffee brings bright fruit notes and a clean, complex acidity. These beans contribute the juicy fruit finish that lifts Blend Zero out of pure bitterness and into something genuinely interesting.

    3

    Sumatra Robusta (Indonesia)

    The powerhouse of the blend. Robusta beans contain roughly twice the caffeine of Arabica, and Sumatran Robusta is among the most prized, earthy, full-bodied, and intensely flavoured.

    Flavour Intensity 4/5 — Medium to Dark Roast

    Discover the complexity and intensity of Blend Zero specialty coffee. Whether enjoyed with milk or as a bold espresso, this medium-dark roast offers a sensory journey through roasted hazelnut aromas and rich dark couverture chocolate flavours. The cup finishes with juicy fruit notes and a thick, syrupy body — and with a caffeine-packed Robusta in the blend, it delivers a serious morning kick.

    Available in 250g and 1kg, whole beans, or ground to order for your brew method.

    The Three Origins Behind the Blend

    Blend Zero is built around a deliberate combination of Arabica and Robusta origins, each chosen for a specific role in delivering maximum flavour and caffeine impact:

    • Brazil (Arabica) The smooth, chocolatey backbone of the blend. Brazilian Arabica is grown at lower altitudes in the Cerrádo and Sul de Minas regions, producing beans with low acidity, a heavy body, and natural nutty sweetness. In Blend Zero, Brazil provides the approachable base that balances the intensity of the Robusta.
    • Nicaragua (Arabica) Grown in the highlands of Jinotega and Matagalpa, Nicaraguan coffee brings bright fruit notes and a clean, complex acidity. These beans contribute the juicy fruit finish that lifts Blend Zero out of pure bitterness and into something genuinely interesting.
    • Sumatra Robusta (Indonesia) The powerhouse of the blend. Robusta beans contain roughly twice the caffeine of Arabica, and Sumatran Robusta is among the most prized, earthy, full-bodied, and intensely flavoured. It’s what gives Blend Zero its thick, syrupy body, its dark chocolate depth, and its reputation as the highest caffeine blend in the Mahalia range. Not for the faint-hearted.

    Flavour Profile

    FAQs

    Who this suits: Best for those who want the biggest caffeine hit in the range and don't mind a bold, intense cup.

    What's the best grind for Blend Zero?
    Available as whole beans, or ground to order for plunger, stovetop or espresso machines, home and commercial.
    Does it work with plant-based milk?
    Yes. The Robusta gives it a thick, syrupy body, so it still tastes like coffee through oat, almond or soy.
    How strong is it really?
    It's the highest-caffeine blend in the range, built on a 70% Arabica / 30% Robusta mix, so expect a serious kick.
    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.
