About this coffee

The coffees that changed someone's mind about what strong means.

Most people think strong = dark = bitter. These four are the reason that's wrong. When we asked our community to vote for their favourite strong coffees, what came back was four very different expressions of intensity — each one bold, none of them punishing.

If the person you're sending this to thinks they like strong coffee, this box will show them what that actually looks like when roasters get it right.

What's inside:

Pique – Rocketman: Chocolate fudge, butterscotch, red plum. A Brazilian-Peruvian blend that hits hard and stays interesting. Punches through milk, holds its own black.

PCX Signature- Lamari: Rocky road, almond, and shortbread. A smooth medium roast with a rugged Papua New Guinea story. Comforting depth, natural sweetness, and a buttery finish that lingers gently.

GPNT – Big House: Papua New Guinea. Dark chocolate, toffee almond, full body. Unapologetic and exactly what it says it is.

Blacklist – Marcato: Perth's heavyweight. Velvety chocolate, serious body. Got more "this is what I've been looking for" messages than anything else in this category.

***Note: Grand Central is no longer available - so swapped for a similar product

Arrives gift-ready:

Four roasters, one box.

Most coffee boxes and subscriptions come from a single roastery. PCX curates across 25+ Perth roasters, so one order compares the city's best side by side, roasted fresh, delivered once.

How PCX works

Get this one, or compare a few

Start with a single coffee, or line up a few side by side in a tasting box. Going big? The Discovery Box goes up to ten as a one-off or subscription.

Find what you love

Some people enjoy variety box after box. Others notice which bag empties first and stick with it. Either way, you're drinking excellent coffee every day.

A starting point for every coffee in this box

Dialled in on a Breville Barista Express

Dose
16.5g of fresh grounds in the basket
Yield
36-38g of espresso in the cup
Time
28 to 32 seconds, timed from the first drop
Grind
Fine, like caster sugar. Bitter and slow? Go a touch coarser. Sour and fast? A touch finer.

Tip: Start here. Not quite right? Change one thing — usually the grind — and tomorrow's cup is better. Today's is still fresh coffee.

Questions about this coffee

Where does this sit for strength?
Every coffee we list sits somewhere on a range from gentle to punchy. Check the roast level above, or ask us and we'll place it for you.
How fresh is this coffee?
Our roasters roast fresh for us in small batches, and we usually dispatch within 1 to 2 business days. Coffee actually improves for the first week or so after roasting, then holds well sealed. The roast date is on the bag.
What if I don't like it?
Tell us what didn't work and we'll help you find something closer to your taste. Full policy in our help centre.
Will this work with my machine?
Yes. If you're pulling espresso, the Starting Point above gives you a dose, yield and shot time to begin from. Every machine and grinder is a little different, so expect to adjust from there.
