About this box

For dark roast devotees.

4 Coffees | Dark & Medium-Dark | Rich, Low Acidity

Four dark and medium-dark roasts with real depth: rich, full-bodied and low on acidity, the kind of cup that stands up to milk and doesn't taste burnt doing it.

Made for drinkers who find most tasting boxes too light.

Why this box

For the dark roast crowd

If you like it bold, low on acidity and built for milk, this is the box. Four dark and medium-dark roasts heavy on chocolate, caramel and toasted nuts, the traditional flavours a lot of specialty boxes skip. No bright fruity surprises, just rich and full-bodied cup after cup.

Dark done properly is rich, not burnt. All four of these prove the difference.

Four roasters, one box.

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

Brew them back to back with the same setup, and notice what changes cup to cup.

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.
