After Dark Blend 250g Dark Roast Coffee Beans

Flavour Profile

After Dark is all about depth. The dark roast develops the sugars in the beans into rich caramel sweetness, while the underlying origins keep a thread of bright, fruity character — hints of red berries and pitted fruit — woven through the body. The finish is long and smooth rather than sharp or ashy, so the intensity reads as bold, not burnt.

The Origins

After Dark is a four-origin blend, each contributing a different layer to the cup. Together they give the blend its balance of body, sweetness and brightness under the dark roast.

Espresso Recipe

A reliable starting point for dialling in After Dark on a standard espresso machine. Treat it as a baseline and adjust to taste — results will vary between machines, grinders and dine-in versus takeaway cups.

Frequently Asked Questions

After Dark is one of our most intense blends — a true dark roast with a bold, full body and robust crema. It's strong and rich without being ashy, with caramel sweetness and a long, smooth finish that carries well through milk.

Yes. After Dark ships as whole beans by default, but espresso, plunger and filter grinds are available as a special request at checkout. For the freshest cup we recommend whole beans and grinding to order if you have a grinder.

It shines as espresso. A good baseline on a standard machine is a 21g basket, 22g dose in, 40ml out, in around 30 seconds — then adjust to taste. It also works beautifully in a plunger or filter for a fuller, lower-pressure brew.

At roughly 18–22g per double shot, a 250g bag yields around 11 to 13 espressos. For filter or plunger brewing using slightly less coffee per cup, you'll get a few more.
