Roaster's Notes

With a long history of more than 16 years since we became certified and supporters of the Rainforest Alliance (RFA), we continue to support this great program.

Whilst also participating in FAIRTRADE and Organic certification programs, it's here in the RFA where we believe a more sustainable future for farmers can be achieved.

The Rainforest Alliance helps educate farmers to conserve land through natural shade and complementary farming practices.

Most of the RFA coffee we purchase is shade or partially shade grown.

These coffees are planted alongside beautiful canopies of tall trees allowing a more natural composting and fertilizing process from the mulch.

Ultimately, we think RFA coffees can be a noticeable step above traditional coffees in terms of quality and cup character.

About myCuppa Coffee Blends

What does this coffee taste like?

Milk and dark chocolate, salted caramel and toffee

Is this blend good with milk?

Yes. Our blends are designed to perform particularly well in espresso-based drinks, including flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos. Some are richer and stronger through milk, while others are smoother and sweeter.

Can I drink this blend black?

Absolutely. While many customers enjoy our blends with milk, they are also roasted to remain balanced and enjoyable as espresso, long black or other black coffee styles.

How strong is this blend?

Strength can mean different things, including roast level, flavour intensity and how strongly the coffee cuts through milk. Refer to the flavour description on this page for the best indication of how this blend presents in the cup.

What brewing methods suit this blend?

Our blends are primarily developed for espresso, but many also perform very well in stovetop, AeroPress, plunger and other brewing methods. Brewing results will vary depending on grind size, dose and recipe.

Is this coffee roasted fresh?

Yes. We roast our coffees fresh in Melbourne and dispatch them as quickly as possible so you receive coffee with excellent freshness and flavour.

Does the blend recipe ever change?

From time to time we may make small adjustments to the coffees used in a blend due to seasonal availability or crop changes. Our priority is always to maintain the flavour, balance and character customers expect from that blend. Higher selling blends like Suuweet and Santosa change every 2 months.

How should I store the coffee?

Keep the coffee sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. For best results, avoid storing coffee in the refrigerator.

Which myCuppa blend should I choose?

The best choice depends on whether you prefer something smoother and sweeter, richer and stronger, or more balanced and versatile. The flavour description and tasting notes on each blend page are the best guide.

mycuppa uses a full cast iron coffee roaster for maximum flavor and sweetness

Why our coffees are different

Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.

Why roasting with Cast Iron is best

how we roast your coffee

Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

mycuppa explains the delicate balance when roasting coffees for exceptional flavors

Roast Balance

Roast depth is a moving target for most coffee brands. It can depend upon the individual lot being roasted, ambient conditions (hot or cold) and the target brew application.

Our roast depth always targets medium (except for filter roast products that are roasted lighter).

Our medium-level roast is a combination of many factors, such as the balance of flavour, sweetness and acidity.

Roasting too far in one direction tends to pull or detract from other attributes.

Roast Profile

Our roast profile has evolved and optimized over the last 20 years.

Not much has changed in the last few years as the level of quality has essentially maintained at a consistently high range.

We roast for a medium level that takes all of the attributes into consideration - flavour, complexity, sweetness, acidity, body, aroma and finish.

Our roast profile could be described as carefully cautious - unwilling to push into zones that create an unbalanced cup taste.

Colour

Roast color is an outdated metric which no longer applies to quality coffees.

The external color of a roasted coffee bean bares little resemblance to how that coffee was actually roasted.

In the past, coffee was segmented as light, medium or dark. But those motifs did not sufficiently encompass the number of variations possible.

The external shade of a roasted coffee is more influenced by the brix (sugars) of the bean, e.g. higher brix levels may present or display darker shades of brown when roasted.

The processing method also plays a role in determining the final colour. Washed coffees are darker in shade, as are Decaf coffees, while naturals display a lighter and mottled appearance.

The roast profile also impacts the finished colour. A lighter-colored coffee may have been roasted poorly, having baked or stalled with darker internal colours.

Similarly, a lighter external color might hide the darker internals from scorching or rapid roasting using an invalid profile.

Dark does not mean stronger. In fact, dark is weaker as acid and caffeine levels decline.

Acidity

Acidity is perhaps one of the most complex and mis-understood attributes of roasted coffee.

Acidity is a fundamental requirement for flavor, in fact acidity is the pathway of flavor compounds.

Customers often ask for low—or zero-acid coffees. However, those coffees with very low acidity typically display dull, mediocre, and boring cup elements.

Australian coffee drinkers are predominantly milk or dairy alternative drinkers. In fact 93% of coffee drinkers add something else to the coffee besides sugar.

Acids are mostly grouped as citric or malic. When coffee is roasted well, the acidity should result in delicious sweetness.

However, the extraction or brew process can also affect the taste.

Whole bean coffee stays fresher for much longer than ground coffees

Ground coffee is poor value

Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.

The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.

Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.

If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.

Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.
