Most “approachable blends” are just bland. And most “dessert-inspired” coffees lose all structure under the sweetness.
This pairing shows you how indulgent coffee should actually taste when roasters understand how to balance sweetness, roast depth, and drinkability—without falling into the trap of being boring.
Spoiler alert: most “crowd-pleasers” aren’t.
Here's what happens when you pull shots from this pair:
PCX Blend – The Dessert Without Guilt. Crafted in collaboration between Perth Coffee Exchange and Brightside Coffee, this Brazil x Colombia blend delivers rich liquid fudge sweetness with a soft swirl of honey and a syrupy mouthfeel that lingers in all the right ways. Built for indulgence, but engineered with precision—this isn’t your average medium roast.
This is what happens when sweetness and clarity are both priorities—not trade-offs.
Among Friends – The Easy-Going Hit Maker. The kind of blend that turns “I don’t like coffee” into “Can I have another cup?” Smooth, balanced, and never overpowering, this medium-dark roast offers comforting notes of dark chocolate and hazelnut, with a hint of dried fruit to lift the finish. No sharpness. No bitterness. Just the perfect cup for literally everyone in the room.
From solo mornings to big brekkies—this is the one that always shows up.
The Real Reason This Pairing Exists:
Here’s what most people don’t understand about drinkable coffee: it’s not just about going light on the roast or picking crowd-safe flavours. It’s about crafting balance—sweetness that doesn’t get cloying, body that feels clean, and structure that holds up across brewing styles.
PCX Blend proves you can have indulgence without heaviness. Among Friends shows that smooth can still mean complex.
Try them side by side and you'll understand:
How roast development affects sweetness, texture, and finish
Why blends don’t have to be dull to be friendly
The art of making coffee feel luxurious and effortless at the same time
How to build a daily lineup that’s both versatile and memorable
What You're Actually Getting:
Two high-comfort blends that are anything but basic—and that’ll quietly become the best part of your day.
Order now and start brewing the pair that makes coffee feel like a treat and a ritual. Your morning self will thank you.

Smooth and tasty
This is a new favourite of mine. Has such a great taste and is very smooth. Highly recommend
Our first order and very happy with the blend. Very smooth and when we increased the amount we added, it was stronger but still easy drinking. Found a winner and going back for more.
We love our monthly subscription box, its great to try an amazing variety of coffee from local roasters. The variety of flavours are a great way to kick off the day.
Very tasty blends for on the run, and a new variety I have not tasted before, the Rawanda Red Bourbon Natural is great to sit down and enjoy the buttery spicy yet sweet wall of flavour.
What a bloody amazing idea!! I am a whole new journey after purchasing my first "proper" coffee machine and this is the best thing ever! I get to try loads of new coffee, rate it and then repurchase if I love it ☕️
We were fed up buying bad coffee beans from the supermarket and didn’t have time to go to the farmers market of roasters too often. Having new coffee beans delivered every month has been amazing, we haven’t liked every bag we’ve got but have found some me amazing ones, it all adds to the enjoyment of sampling new styles we would have normally never even knew existed. Have recommended to all my coffee loving friends.
We have purchased a few sample packs and almost all of them have been a hit. This one in particular was a beautiful blend and will definitely purchase again. We have a delonghi coffee machine and purchase the whole beans.

We moved to Perth last year, and this has been a fabulous way to get to know local roasters! Always some absolute gems among the good staple blends, and customer service is A++
Neysa, your review made our day! We're so happy you're discovering amazing local roasters through our boxes. It's a mission close to our hearts! And knowing you appreciate our awesome customer service makes it even better.
Would you be open to sharing a recent 'gem' you discovered? We love highlighting local roasters our community might not know yet! Thanks for being a wonderful part of the Perth Coffee Exchange family! ☕️
What better gift to give my awesome, coffee loving brother for his 50th? He has been so excited telling me about the coffees he's ordered and tried with the voucher.
For the smarter of you, much like giving your partner a voucher for a restaurant or the movies, knowing that they'll take you, give this as a gift to your coffee loving partner knowing that they'll be using it to make you delicious coffees. Win right?
Thanks for your review Glen!
What a fantastic way to celebrate your brother's 50th! We're thrilled that he's been loving his coffee adventures and that the voucher has been a gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks for being a part of our coffee community and for spreading the joy of great coffee. Cheers to many more delicious brews for you and your brother!
Such a great idea. All of the coffees have been wonderful and delivery was super quick.
Thanks for your fantastic review, Lee! 🥳 We're absolutely delighted to hear that you've enjoyed all the coffees from our Coffee Tasting Box and that the delivery speed exceeded your expectations.
It's wonderful to have you as part of our vibrant community of coffee lovers, exploring the diverse world of flavours we've carefully curated.
Here's to many more sipsational adventures together. Happy sipping! ☕✨
We were skeptical as we thought we had tried most of the options Perth had to offer but it was several new brands we hadn’t tried
They have all been exactly the type of coffee we like to drink so far. Strong and creamy.
We will be reordering and also externally seeking out more coffee from these brands, so supporting local!
Thanks for your review Emily!
We are thrilled to have you in our coffee community.
Our mission is to give you extraordinary coffees and experiences, and we're glad to be a part of your coffee journey.
Thank you for choosing Perth Coffee Exchange, and we hope to see you back for many more delightful sips! ☕️
