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.
s 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.
