Black Forest

Deep, brooding, espresso-ready. Bold, smooth, zero-acidity by design.

— Brew it like this

Espresso (ristretto): 18g in, 18g out in 28–35s for a syrupy, chocolate-and-cherry shot.
Latte / flat white: Pull the ristretto, add 150–180ml of steamed milk at 65°C. Cuts through milk beautifully.
Filter / pourover: 1:12 ratio at 93°C, medium-coarse grind, 3:30–4:00 total.

Designed to drink dark without bitterness. If you've been burned by dark roasts that tasted like ash, this is your redemption.

Bold, Smooth, Zero Acidity

Black Forest is crafted for those who crave a full-bodied, intensely smooth dark roast with zero acidity and maximum body. Rich milk chocolate meets sweet cherry notes in a creamy, perfectly balanced cup that delivers bold flavour without bitterness.

Four Origins, One Exceptional Dark Roast

We've blended 100% specialty arabica beans from four distinct regions:

  • Brazil – Chocolate foundation and natural sweetness
  • Peru– Balanced body and caramel depth
  • Ethiopia – Subtle cherry brightness
  • Indonesia – Earthy richness and creamy texture

The result? A dark roast that's bold yet refined, with a touch of sweetness that keeps you coming back.

Perfect For Dark Roast Enthusiasts

  • Zero acidity, maximum body – Gentle on the palate, big on flavour
  • Milk chocolate & cherry profile – Rich, dessert-like complexity
  • Espresso or filter – Versatile brewing options
  • Rated 4.5★ – Loved by bold coffee drinkers

Brewing Recommendations

Espresso: 1:1 ratio | 18g coffee, 18g output | 28-35 seconds (ristretto style)
Filter: 1:12 ratio | 20g coffee, 250ml water at 93°C

For those who take their coffee bold, smooth, and unapologetically dark. This is Black Forest.

— The story

Where this
bean begins.

Four origins. One dark roast. Zero compromise. Black Forest is a four-origin blend where every component earns its place. Brazil brings the deep, sweet cocoa body. Peru connects the chocolate base to the brighter top notes with balanced caramel depth. Ethiopia lifts the cup out of one-dimensional heaviness with a gentle cherry sweetness. Indonesia rounds it off with earthy richness and a buttery, creamy texture.

Roasted darker than most of our range, but stopped just before the oils break through. Maximum body without char. The result is a coffee that's smooth for how dark it is.
