Di Pacci Coffee Co. — Light Roast — Filter & Espresso — 500g (2 × 250g)
By The Bay Blend 500g Light Roast Coffee Beans
Bright, fruity and smooth — light roast coffee beans with floral citrus notes of bergamot, lime and orange, a clean berry-like acidity and a syrupy body.
The By The Bay Blend is Di Pacci's brightest, most expressive light roast — a blend of 100% Arabica coffee beans built for drinkers who love a fruity, vibrant cup. These light roast coffee beans deliver floral citrus aromatics, a clean berry-like acidity and a smooth, syrupy body, with nutty undertones and a subtle milk-chocolate sweetness that keeps it balanced rather than sharp.
With notes of bergamot, lime and orange over a smooth, balanced body, the By The Bay Blend is at its best as filter and pour-over, where its clarity and aromatics shine — though it also pulls a bright, fruit-forward espresso for those who like a lighter, more vibrant shot. This 500g pack arrives as 2 × 250g bags.

Why These Light Roast Coffee Beans Are So Bright
🍋 Floral Citrus Aromatics
The defining character of the blend — bergamot, lime and orange notes give a vibrant, fragrant cup that lifts the whole experience from the first pour.
🫐 Clean Berry-Like Acidity
A bright, berry-like acidity gives the coffee its fruity sparkle — lively and refreshing without ever tipping into sourness.
🍫 Nutty & Cocoa Balance
Nutty, almond-like undertones and a subtle milk-chocolate sweetness with hints of light cocoa keep the brightness grounded and balanced.
🥤 Smooth, Syrupy Body
Despite the light roast, the mouthfeel is smooth and syrupy — fuller and rounder than a typical bright filter coffee.
🌍 3-Origin Brightness
Built from Colombia, Costa Rica and Kenya — origins prized for clarity, fruit and aromatic acidity, combined for a clean, expressive light roast.
🫖 Made for Filter & Pour-Over
This is the blend to reach for with filter, pour-over and AeroPress, where the floral, fruity notes have room to shine — though it makes a vibrant espresso too.
Where the By The Bay Blend Coffee Beans Come From
🇨🇴 Colombia — balanced, sweet and clean, with mild, pleasant acidity and body.
🇨🇷 Costa Rica — bright, citrus-forward clarity with a clean, crisp character.
🇰🇪 Kenya — vibrant, berry-like acidity and floral aromatics; the source of the blend's fruity sparkle.

By The Bay Blend Light Roast Coffee Beans — Common Questions
What do the By The Bay Blend light roast coffee beans taste like?
By The Bay is a bright, fruity light roast with floral citrus notes of bergamot, lime and orange, a clean berry-like acidity, and nutty undertones with a subtle milk-chocolate sweetness. The body is smooth and syrupy with hints of light cocoa — vibrant and aromatic, yet perfectly balanced.
What's the best way to brew By The Bay?
It's at its best as filter and pour-over, where the floral, fruity character has room to shine — AeroPress works beautifully too. It also makes a bright, fruit-forward espresso; as a light roast it suits hotter water and a slightly finer grind.
How big is the pack?
The 500g pack arrives as 2 × 250g whole bean bags. Keeping it split across two bags means you can open one and keep the second sealed for maximum freshness.
Where do the By The Bay beans come from?
The blend draws from three origins — Colombia, Costa Rica and Kenya. Colombia provides balance and sweetness, Costa Rica adds citrus clarity, and Kenya contributes the vibrant, berry-like acidity and floral aromatics.
How fresh are the beans when they arrive?
Di Pacci roasts to order — your By The Bay Blend is freshly roasted before dispatch, not pulled from warehouse stock. Light roasts for filter can be brewed from around day 3 post-roast; for espresso allow about 7–14 days. You'll receive your bags within their peak freshness window.
How should I store the beans after opening?
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place — a cupboard away from the stove is ideal. Avoid the fridge (condensation and odours) and clear glass jars in daylight (light degrades quality). Once opened, consume within 2–4 weeks for best flavour.
Is it available in other sizes?
