A Bold, Smooth Dark-Roast House Blend
Black Forest is Bean Shipper's full-bodied dark-roast blend of 100% specialty arabica, built for drinkers who want big body and rich flavour without sharp acidity. Beans from Brazil, Peru, Ethiopia and Indonesia come together as milk chocolate and sweet cherry — a creamy, dessert-like cup that works in espresso or filter.

About This Coffee
Black Forest is named for the cup it pours: rich milk chocolate threaded with sweet, dark cherry, like the classic dessert. We blend four origins so each does a job — Brazil lays down the chocolate base and natural sweetness, Peru adds balanced body and caramel depth, Ethiopia lifts the cup with a subtle cherry brightness, and Indonesia brings earthy richness and a creamy texture.
Roasted dark in our Kuala Lumpur roastery, the blend is pushed for body and sweetness rather than sharpness, so it stays smooth and forgiving with near-zero perceived acidity. That makes it a natural partner for milk — flat whites, lattes and iced coffee — while still holding its own as a straight black brew.
How to Brew Black Forest
| Espresso |
1:1 ratio · 18g in, 18g out · 28–35 seconds (ristretto style) |
| Filter |
1:12 ratio · 20g coffee · 250ml water at 93°C |
If your espresso pulls too fast or tastes thin, grind a little finer; if it chokes or turns harsh, grind coarser. For filter, dial grind to land your brew between roughly 2:30 and 3:30 minutes.
How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?
At about 18g per cup, a 300g bag makes roughly 17 cups (about RM2.29 per cup) and a 1kg bag makes roughly 56 cups (about RM2.12 per cup). A 2 × 300g pack doubles the 300g bag for around 34 cups. Buy whole bean and grind fresh per brew for the best body and crema.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Black Forest better for espresso or filter?
Both. It's built as a versatile dark roast — pull it as a 1:1 ristretto-style espresso for a thick, chocolatey shot, or brew it 1:12 as filter for a smoother, lighter-bodied cup.
What does Black Forest taste like?
Rich milk chocolate and sweet dark cherry with a toffee edge, full body and a creamy mouthfeel. Acidity is very low, so it reads smooth and dessert-like rather than bright or fruity-sharp.
Is it good with milk?
Yes. The chocolate-forward, low-acidity profile cuts cleanly through milk, making rich flat whites, lattes and iced lattes. It also drinks well black if you prefer a bold, smooth cup.
