The Blend of Life!

R150.00R420.00

Our specialty home blend, aimed specifically at consumers with “Bean to Cup machines” and commercial espresso machines. This blend uses high scoring Central and South American coffees as a base combined with African influences to deliver a well bodied, chocolatey but nuanced-citrus flavour. This blend has been carefully curated to bring together the complimentary flavour profiles of these origins, each offering something unique. The result is a roast bold enough to be well suited for Bean to Cup machines, while still offering an exciting aromatic experience. This is truly a case of “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts“.

We roast these beans at a “full city” (medium-dark to dark) roast level in order to bring out a rich chocolate and citrus sweetness with a hint of fruity acidity; this makes it an excellent match for espresso and bean to cup machines.

See the full description below for tasting notes and brewing recommendations.

Our home crafted blend of Central, South American as well as African origins are roasted independently and then combined to deliver a bold, flavourful cup, specifically aimed toward bean to cup and espresso machines. We designed this blend to bring complexity to your cup and simplicity to your choices.

Brewing recommendations

Our head roaster recommends enjoying this med-dark/dark roast predominantly for milk based espresso drinks, particularly when using a bean to cup machine (which typically require “darker” roast profiles to extract a more impactful cup). Other pressurised extraction methods such as Bialetti (“Moka Pot”) or espresso machines may also be suitable, typically when paired with milk.

We always recommend ordering “whole beans” for that extra flavour and “crisp” freshness you won’t get from store-bought coffee. The Speciality Coffee Association recommends grinding only the amount of coffee to be used during the brew and grinding no more than 15 minutes before brewing. You’d be surprised the difference in freshness, aroma and flavour these changes will bring to your cup.
