Our Italian Espresso is the perfect embodiment of a classic coffee blend. Rich, dark and zesty, it boasts everything you'd expect from a traditional Italian roast.
We blend Brazil Santos and Papua New Guinea AAK, both Arabica, and roast them to within a whisker of second crack. This full or double roast is for anyone after a true dark roast experience: full-bodied, low in acidity and strong enough to shine through milk in a flat white, latte or cappuccino.
Roasted fresh at our roastery in Thebarton, South Australia, where we've been roasting since 1975. Choose whole beans or have it ground to suit your espresso machine, stovetop or plunger, and we'll ship it Australia-wide.

Frequently asked questions
Is Italian Espresso good for flat whites and lattes?
Yes. It's made for milk. This dark, full-bodied blend is strong enough to carry through flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos, and it's also excellent as a short black or long black.
How strong is Italian Espresso?
It's a 5 out of 5 for strength. We roast it to within a whisker of second crack, a full or double roast, so it's bold, rich and unmistakably dark.
I don't like light or fruity coffee. Will I like this?
Most likely. Italian Espresso is a dark roast with low acidity, so you get rich, roasted flavour without the bright, fruity notes you find in lighter roasts.
Can I use it in a stovetop, plunger or automatic coffee machine?
Yes. It suits home and commercial espresso machines, automatic and bean-to-cup machines, stovetop (moka pot) and plunger. Choose whole beans, or pick your grind and we'll grind it to order.
Where is Italian Espresso roasted, and what's in the blend?

How should I store my coffee beans?
Keep them in the sealed bag, which has a one-way valve, or another airtight container somewhere cool and dark. Don't put them in the fridge. For the best flavour, use them within four weeks of opening.
