Product description

This is a darker roasted coffee than most of the other Bell’s Beans coffee. The beans aren’t oily but some will just start spotting some oil out, giving you deeper darker flavour tones.

Version 2.0 of On the Darkside is a blend of Guatemalan and Myanmar specialty coffees pre-blended and roasted to a medium dark level, so the odd bean here and there starts to have oil spots, these are then blended post roast with a medium roasted natural processed Chinese coffee to give you some depth and complexity at the end of your sip.

How to store coffee at home

To keep your coffee as fresh as possible, you need to protect your coffee from air, sunlight, heat, and moisture. These all will contribute to making it stale and lose flavour.

We suggest keeping your coffee in an airtight container, in a cool, dry cupboard. Our bags all have a de-gassing valve, to let out CO2 that the beans produce once roasted, it's not just there to sniff the coffee, and a reusable ziplock. So if you don't have a fancy coffee jar just push the air out the bag, zip the lock and give the bag another squeeze to get any remaining air out.

Do not store your coffee in the fridge. Roasted coffee absorbs moisture from the air (hygroscopic) and will also take up surrounding aromas. The aromas and moisture levels in the fridge will react with the coffee and delicate flavours will deteriorate.

Choosing Grind Size

If you need some help choosing which grind size to select then checkout which settings we use in the roastery for each brew method, or feel free to give us a shout and ask any questions.
