A coffee blend is a carefully chosen mix of beans from different origins or farms, combined to create a balanced, consistent flavour profile. Think of it like blending different grapes for a wine – each component brings something to the cup (body, sweetness, acidity, aroma).
A single origin coffee comes from one country, region or farm, and tends to showcase the unique character of that place. Blends are brilliant when you want a reliable, all-round coffee, while single origins are ideal if you enjoy exploring how coffee changes from region to region.

Blends are perfect if you’re looking for a dependable, everyday coffee that tastes great however you brew it. By combining different beans, we can:
Create a balanced flavour (sweetness, body, acidity) that’s easy to enjoy
Make a coffee that works well black and with milk
Keep the flavour profile consistent throughout the year, even as harvests change
If you want one coffee that can happily be your “house” coffee at home, a blend is a very good place to start. If you love variety and discovery, you can always add a single origin or speciality bag alongside your favourite blend.

Yes – many of our blends are designed with espresso and milk drinks very much in mind. Chocolatey, nutty blends like The Terrence and The Dame are particularly popular for home espresso machines because they:
Produce a sweet, full-bodied shot
Cut through milk nicely without tasting harsh or bitter
Deliver that classic café-style flavour in flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos
If you mainly drink espresso or milk-based drinks, choosing a blend from this collection and selecting espresso grind (if you don’t grind at home) is a great option.

Absolutely. One of the strengths of a good blend is its versatility. The same coffee can work beautifully across multiple brew methods – you just need the right grind size:
Espresso machine – espresso grind
V60 / pour-over – medium grind
AeroPress – medium-fine grind
Cafetière / French press – coarse grind
If you like the idea of having one blend that does it all, pick a flavour profile you enjoy (for example, chocolatey and nutty) and choose the grind to match your main brew method. Many of our customers happily use a single blend across both espresso and filter.

Our blends are created to be reliable, year-round favourites, but behind the scenes we may adjust the components slightly as different harvests come and go. The goal is to keep the overall flavour profile consistent – so your favourite blend still tastes like your favourite blend, even if the exact farms or lots change over time.
You’ll usually find our core blends available throughout the year. For more seasonal or experimental coffees, take a look at our Speciality and Roasters Reserve collections, where we showcase limited, unique lots.
