Why Choose These Dark Roast Coffee Beans
💪 Bold, Intense Flavour
A powerful, robust taste that captivates the senses — After Dark is for drinkers who want maximum strength and depth in the cup, not a subtle or delicate brew.
🍮 Caramel Sweetness
Natural caramel undertones balance the dark roast's intensity, creating a satisfying sweetness that works beautifully black or with milk.
🍓 Hint of Red Berries
Subtle fruity accents lift the flavour profile and add complexity — an unexpected brightness within an otherwise deep, dark roast.
🥛 Built for Milk Drinks
A dark roast and full body mean the coffee holds its character through milk — ideal for flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos where lighter roasts can disappear.
☕ Long, Smooth Finish
The lingering, smooth finish is what keeps you coming back — clean and satisfying rather than bitter or harsh.
🌍 Four-Origin Blend
Beans from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea are combined for body, sweetness, aroma and depth — a considered blend, not a single-note dark roast.
Where the After Dark Blend Coffee Beans Come From
🇨🇴 Colombia — balanced and smooth; contributes body and a clean, rounded base.
🇧🇷 Brazil — chocolatey, nutty; adds sweetness, crema and a full body.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia — floral, fruit-forward; the source of the subtle red-berry character.
🇵🇬 Papua New Guinea — earthy, full-bodied; adds weight and depth to the finish.

After Dark Blend Dark Roast Coffee Beans — Common Questions
What does the After Dark Blend taste like?
After Dark is a bold, intense dark roast with a robust, full body. It carries natural caramel sweetness, a subtle hint of red berries, and a long, smooth finish. It's powerful and satisfying rather than bitter or harsh — built for drinkers who want maximum strength and depth.
How does After Dark compare to the Elements Blend?
The After Dark Blend is a dark roast — bold, intense, full-bodied, with deep caramel and a touch of fruit. The Elements Blend is a medium roast — more balanced, with floral and caramel character, moderate acidity and a rounder body. Choose After Dark if you want maximum strength and depth; choose Elements if you want a versatile, balanced everyday coffee.
Is the After Dark Blend good for milk-based drinks?
Yes — it's an excellent choice for milk-based drinks. The dark roast and full body mean the coffee holds its character through milk, so flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos keep a strong, satisfying coffee flavour rather than being washed out.
Can I use After Dark in my automatic coffee machine?
Yes — its dark roast and full body suit automatic bean-to-cup machines well. Start at your machine's default grind and dose, then adjust to taste: coarser if extraction is slow, finer if the cup tastes weak.
What's the recommended espresso recipe?
As a house baseline, we recommend 21g of coffee for a 40ml output in around 30 seconds. Treat that as a starting point and adjust to taste — results vary between machines, grinders and whether you're brewing at home or in a café.
How fresh is the After Dark Blend when it arrives?
Di Pacci roasts to order — your After Dark Blend 1kg is freshly roasted before dispatch, not sitting in a warehouse. Coffee peaks roughly 7–28 days post-roast for espresso, so you'll receive your bag within its peak freshness window, ready to brew at its best.
How should I store the After Dark Blend after opening?
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place — a kitchen cupboard away from the stove is ideal. Avoid the fridge (condensation and odour absorption) and clear glass jars on the bench (light degrades quality). Once opened, consume within 2–4 weeks for best flavour.
Is the After Dark Blend available in other sizes?
Yes — it's available in 250g, 500g and 1kg. If you haven't tried it before, the 4 × 250g sample pack includes After Dark alongside the other three Di Pacci blends — the best way to compare before committing to a full 1kg bag.
