Four coffees built for the purist's favourite cup at PCX.
Why a long black box?
The flat white might be the crowd favourite around here, but plenty of our customers reach for the long black when they want to hear the coffee speak for itself.
Hot water, a double shot of espresso, crema intact. Nothing in the cup but the coffee.
Which means the coffee has to carry the whole cup on its own.
After years of cupping hundreds of roasts, we've learned which ones thrive when you lengthen them with water, and which ones need a bit of milk to come alive.
A great long black isn't forgiving. It reveals exactly what the bean is made of.
These four stand up to that. Beautifully.
Picked for clarity and character
Charlie (our coffee curator) drinks more coffee than is probably advisable.
He chose these four because each one shows a different side of what a long black can be.
Bright. Syrupy. Nuanced.
Same drink, four windows into specialty coffee.
So, grab the box, work through them at your own pace, and find the one your kitchen wants on the shelf.
What's in the box
Black coffee hides nothing. These four hold up with no milk and no sugar to lean on.
Charlie, Chief Coffee Curator
Four coffees, three 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.
How PCX works
1
Taste them side by side
Brew them back to back with the same setup, and notice what changes cup to cup.
2
Pick your favourite
Some people love the variety. Others notice which bag empties first. Either way, you're drinking excellent coffee every day.
3
Put it on repeat
Found a favourite? Buy it as a full bag. Love the surprise? Subscribe to the box and it just turns up.
“While we love trying new coffees each time, it's good to have a favourite to come back to.”

A starting point for every coffee in this box
Dialled in on a Breville Barista Express
Dose
17g of fresh grounds in the basket
Yield
around 40g of espresso in the cup
Time
26 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.
“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.

“We were impressed with our first tasting box, the quick delivery was very much appreciated. To be honest we were nervous, but we have enjoyed all 4 bags. The flavours have all been different, 2 are mellow allrounders, whilst the other 2 bags have had distinct fruity notes. We love the idea of being introduced to local roasters that are unfamiliar to us.”
