Great coffee. Nice neutral dark flavour. Very tasty and fresh.

Nice coffee. Love the fruits taste. Perfect for milk coffee.

i really enjoyed this coffee

I have the Breville oracle coffee machine and it’s a real struggle getting the grind right for these beans.
I was particularly unimpressed with customer service. When ordering some to go to my son’s house, I entered his address for delivery and put my address for payment. When I pressed the payment button that stupid shop pay thing jumped in took the money and changed the delivery to my address. I immediately jumped back on the V5 page to explain what had happened and asked if the could change it.
They did nothing! It was a few days before they posted it, so they would have had time to change it but what really annoyed me was that they didn’t even reply.

All of the selections I bought were fantastic

I like

One of the best fruity + balanced blends I’ve ever tried.

Very tasty

hands down the best coffee! Unique fruity flavour and consistently great quality. We’re all the way up in Cairns, QLD, but it’s worth getting it shipped across the country, our go-to every time.

Really balanced palate. Great coffee.

Nice flavor

Great service and awesome coffee. Have recommended to others.

Tried it for cold brew and I was super impressed with its smell and fruity taste.
I recommend leaving it brewing for slightly longer 30-40 hours for best results.

Excellent coffee! Pours extremely well and can smell and taste all the notes.

V5 Seasonal has become one of my absolute favourite house bled out of Melbourne. Ever since I tasted it in Melbourne, I’ve been ordering it regularly!

Love this blend. Great smelling and tasting coffee.

Great decaf option for after hours coffee.

Great coffe, love it

Frequently asked questions

Is The Major Blend a good coffee for milk-based drinks like lattes and flat whites?

Yes, The Major Blend is explicitly roasted to excel in milk-based espresso drinks. As our darkest Italian-style roast, it possesses the bold strength needed to cut through milk perfectly. You can expect a rich, creamy cup with distinct tasting notes of dark cocoa, toffee, and vanilla. It features a mild, low acidity that makes it incredibly satisfying whether you drink it black or as a strong, punchy flat white.

How dark is The Major Blend coffee roast?

The Major Blend is our darkest roast, crafted in a traditional, bold Italian style. It is designed specifically for strong coffee lovers who want a "major kick" and a heavy, full-bodied espresso experience. Despite being a dark roast, it is carefully developed at our Melbourne roastery to enhance its deep chocolatey and spice undertones without tasting burnt or overly bitter, delivering premium quality in every sip.

What is the best espresso machine recipe for The Major Blend?

For the perfect home espresso extraction, we recommend two specific recipes depending on how you drink it. For a black espresso, use a 21g dose to yield 36g out in 24-28 seconds at 91°C. If brewing for a milk-based drink, use a tighter 22g dose to yield 34g out in 26-30 seconds at a slightly hotter 92°C. This tighter milk recipe concentrates the bold dark cocoa and toffee notes so they punch beautifully through textured milk.

Where is The Major Blend roasted and how fresh will my coffee beans be?

The Major Blend is freshly roasted at our specialty coffee roastery right here in Melbourne. We partner directly with reputable growers prioritizing ethical and sustainable practices. To ensure you receive maximum freshness and crema, your coffee is packed in valved bags and dispatched within 24 to 48 hours of your order. We also offer free standard shipping across Australia on all qualifying orders, delivering peak-quality Italian-style espresso straight to your door.

How long should I rest The Major Blend beans to get the best crema and espresso extraction?

To achieve a rich, thick crema and a smooth espresso extraction, we recommend resting The Major Blend for 7-14 days after the roast date. Because this is a strong, dark Italian-style roast, the beans hold built-up CO2. Allowing them to properly degas ensures your shots pour evenly without channelling, giving you a syrupy body and perfectly unlocking those sweet toffee and vanilla notes.

Is this dark roast coffee safe to use in automatic espresso machines and built-in grinders?

Yes, absolutely. A common issue with traditional dark roasts is that they can become excessively oily and clog home grinders. However, we roast The Major Blend to perfection, enhancing its bold natural flavours without sacrificing quality or pushing the beans to the point of secreting heavy oils. This makes it perfectly safe and highly recommended for all home setups, including fully automatic machines and manual machines with built-in burr grinders.
