About this coffee

The steady, easy one, made for basic machines and quiet mornings.

Medium Roast | Milk Chocolate, Honey & Vanilla Slice

Creamy milk chocolate with honey sweetness and a vanilla-slice note underneath. It's a gentle, dessert-leaning cup rather than an intense one.

Works well on a basic home machine, and doesn't demand a precise dial-in to taste good.

The roaster

Kaltiva Coffee Roasters

Wangara

Kaltiva name their blends for moments rather than origins, Foundation for the morning, Neighbourhood for the everyday, so you can pick by how you drink instead of decoding labels.

Founder Liam roasts daily in Wangara, where the HQ doubles as a walk-in coffee bar.

I don't know why I didn't expect much from this one but it over-delivered, seemed to have a decent body with mocha type tones that made it a true crowd pleaser. Great value.

Espresso starting point

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?
This sits in the middle of our range. Smooth enough for everyday drinking, with enough body to hold its own in a flat white.
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.
