About this coffee
Dark Roast | Cocoa, Molasses & Roasted Almond
Cocoa, molasses and roasted almond come through in a heavy, velvety body. Even black, it doesn't thin out the way lighter roasts can.
Serve with milk for a smooth, classic cup, or pull it as a traditional espresso if you want the full body.
The roaster
Welshpool
Blacklist has twice been voted the best roaster in Australia and New Zealand, one of coffee's biggest honours.
Their range starts with easy crowd-pleasers and runs to rare finds, so there's a natural next step whenever you're ready.
This is the one I hand people who say everything tastes weak in milk. Weight solves that, and Marcato is nearly all weight.

Espresso starting point
Dialled in on a Breville Barista Express
Tip: Start here. Not quite right? Change one thing — usually the grind — and tomorrow's cup is better. Today's is still fresh coffee.
“Amazed how smooth this coffee is when still brewing it at 'max beans' setting for my 1L jug percolated coffee machine. No shortage of flavour and no milk required as no bitter tinge comes through over the course of the whole pot.”

“I’ve just tried the Perfect Pair: Dark Roast Duo from Perth Coffee Exchange and I’m genuinely impressed. Both roasts are full-bodied, smooth, and packed with flavour without any bitterness. Campfire Whispers has a rich, smoky depth that’s perfect for my morning brew, while Grand Central is bold and balanced—great as a long black or through the espresso machine.

“Delivers on the acidity from raspberry/blueberry notes - nicely balanced and one of my favorites as espresso”
Verified buyer
“This is my morning starter, this coffee is what the label says, chocolatey, intense aroma. Tastes so good, I have espresso shot with a little water & one sugar. I take the Aeropress to work with pre ground coffee so I can have the same great coffee all day!”
