About this box
One certified champion. One all-time best-seller. Zero guesswork.
We've put together a head-to-head featuring one of the official Best in 2026 Award Winners and a blend that has earned its best-seller badge through sheer popularity. If you want a cup that is guaranteed to hit the spot, this is the pairing for you.
Both roasts are celebrated for their smooth and sweet profiles, but they offer two different ways to enjoy your morning brew:
3 Bears' Backyard Dreamer against Kaltiva's Foundation. One indulgent, one steady, both crowd pleasers. Pick your side.
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.
Taste them side by side
Brew them back to back with the same setup, and notice what changes cup to cup.
Pick your favourite
Some people love the variety. Others notice which bag empties first. Either way, you're drinking excellent coffee every day.
Put it on repeat

“While we love trying new coffees each time, it's good to have a favourite to come back to.”

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. The free premium mug is actually r…”

Brightside - Decaf = Maybe my favourite of the four packs included, so fresh and vibrant, a full flavored coffee. Gesha - Mountain Water Decaf = My friends love this one, hard to tell apart from a café caffeinated brew. Yummy goodness. Little Owl - Swiss Water Decaf = Open this first and smell …”

“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.”
