Coffee Range

The best coffee beans are selected and blended together to achieve the sweetness, aromatic, and smoothness desired in espresso. The espresso blend must be fresh. We receive all our coffee between 5 and 10 days after roasting, which is the optimum period, to ensure that all the volatile oils and aromatics are kept trapped within the beans to achieve the best quality espresso. Proper extraction is essential to the balance of each of the coffee blends’ flavour profile. Freshly grinding the beans before brewing coffee is one of the most important steps for achieving a quality cup.

All our coffee is ground to order before brewing, in order to prevent any staling (oxidation) from taking place. Coffee is freshest immediately after it is ground. After grinding coffee beans, the volatile oils that were previously protected inside the bean are exposed to air, which oxidizes and stales the coffee. This effect occurs immediately after coffee grinding so it is important to tamp and extract the espresso as quickly as possible.

The crema is an emulsified layer of tiny, smooth bubbles that trap aromatic compounds. This layer coats the tongue and these small bubbles break over time allowing the flavour to be enjoyed long after it has been consumed.

Choose from a selection of 4 coffee blends we have on offer:

Ali Reserve (House Blend) -
Golden Bean Winner 09′/10′

Bright & Rich

The overall winner of the 2009-2010 Golden Bean Award. A medium to dark roast, that focuses on sweetness and balanced acidity levels. It finishes with incredible length on the palate. Peaches, milk chocolate, hazelnut praline and cherries in aroma, with summer berries, chocolate honeycomb and toffee in its flavour. This is a truly complex, and exceptional coffee.

Felici Blend

Sharp & Full Bodied

This blend is definitely for the refined palate. A darker roast characterized by unique, spicy and rich qualities. Nuts and spices make this coffee fantastic as an espresso or long black. Distinct dark chocolate and malt notes, along with a balanced viscosity, allow this blend to cut through milk with ease. Letting off dark chocolate, spice and malt aromas, with cooking chocolate and roasted nuts in its finish on the palate.

Water Processed Decaf

Sweet & Light Bodied

The decaffeination process together with the medium roasting method gives this A-grade Mexican single origin coffee a full flavour. It is a well, balanced cup that is 99% caffeine free. This is perfect for coffee lovers who want the taste of golden syrup, citrus and a syrupy mouth feel, that is freshly brewed releasing sweet, caramel coffee without the caffeine content.

Monthly Coffee Blend

Our fourth blend rotates monthly with different unique flavours.
