/🧪 COFFEE SCIENCE | MYTHBUSTER 1

☕ Myth: Dark roast has more caffeine than light roast.

❌ Busted.

For the same coffee bean and the same dose by weight, light and dark roasts contain almost the same amount of caffeine.

So why does dark roast taste “stronger”?
Because roast level changes the flavour profile—not necessarily the caffeine.

At Plat Coffee, we don’t just roast coffee—we’ve spent time researching it.

This series is about separating coffee science from coffee myths—sharing evidence, not just café folklore.

Because great coffee deserves great science.

Science in the cup. Not just barista talk.

💬 What coffee myth have you always believed? Leave it in the comments, and it might be our next Mythbuster!



🧡Driven by curiosity, our founder’s passion for coffee extends beyond the roastery and into the laboratory. Using analytical tools like HPLC and GC–MS, we’ve explored the science behind every cup—not because we had to, but because we genuinely wanted to understand coffee better.🧡

☕️ What is coffee for?

Just to wake you up?

Not quite.

A chat with one of our regulars—a neuroscientist—sparked a fascinating question:

Why does coffee make different people feel so differently?

That conversation sent us down the rabbit hole.

Years ago, I also spent time researching coffee in the lab, simply because I wanted to understand what was really happening inside the cup and roastinf drum.

Now, we’re bringing that curiosity to Plat Coffee.

🧠 Expect bite-sized coffee science.
☕️ Real research.
🚫 Coffee myths busted—even the ones many baristas still believe.

No gimmicks. No bro science.

Just fascinating discoveries about the world’s favourite drink.

Because the more you understand coffee…
the better every cup tastes.

Stay curious.

Winter☕️

Sales go up and down, but this kind of support means the world. 🔥

One of the best things about running a local café is winning the hearts of your neighbours.

This legend is one of ours — a physio, an absolute beast in the gym, and a good mate from the neighbourhood. He dropped by for a coffee and left me with this cracker of a line:

“Coffee, it’s the lifeblood that fuels the dreams of champions.” — Mike Ditka🎶

Too right.
Good coffee fills the cup — but community fills the heart.

Grateful for every local who walks through the door and makes Plat feel like more than just a café. 8 months➕ in

when it happens, it always happens. ☕️☕️☕️

Another table of coffee lovers ordered pour-overs. coffee people somehow travel in packs. 😂

Funny thing is, people are paying more not to drink faster, but to slow down together.

And honestly, I don’t mind repeating this scene every day. ☕️🧡

A place that makes me happy. ☕️

Today, a whole table ordered pour-overs. I wanted to brew them all at the same time, so they could enjoy the experience together, compare notes, share flavours, and discover the coffees side by side.

Seeing a row of V60s waiting to be brewed reminded me of the journey—from chasing consistency to pursuing true craftsmanship.

The patience.
The practice.
The attention to every detail.

Thank you to everyone who chooses to slow down and wait for a hand-brewed coffee.

You are the reason this little corner makes me happy. 🧡

🥣 Grandma’s Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup + toast — $10

A warm bowl, made from listening. 🧡

After hearing the stories and voices shared during the Elderly advocacy and volunteers gathering, our chef went back to something close to the heart — his Grandma’s Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup.

Slowly cooked, comforting, simple and honest.
Served with toasted bread for dipping into warmth and memories — just in time to warm up the winter days.

A café can serve coffee.

Or it can serve community.

Today, Plat became a meeting place for the volunteers of Elder Rights Australia — sharing stories, supporting older Australians, and strengthening the neighbourhood we all call home.
Real neighbours. Real conversations. Real community.

That’s the kind of coffee culture we believe in. 🧡

A special thank you to Nadia and the wonderful team at Elder Rights Australia for the meaningful work you do every day — supporting older people and their families with care, dignity, advocacy, and compassion. Your dedication helps ensure that every voice is heard and every person is treated with the respect they deserve. We are grateful to be a small part of these conversations. 🧡

Another beautiful afternoon at Plat Coffee.
Life is too short, focus on the good thing.

So grateful to ._doctor_music for bringing such heartfelt music into our little corner of Heidelberg, and a warm thank you to for supporting this wonderful community music program.

With good music, chef-made bites, coffee, and a lot of love from neighbours, the café became more than a venue — it became a place where people gathered, listened, chatted, and shared the moment together.

This is what we hope Plat Coffee can be.
Thank you to everyone who came by and helped bring the neighbourhood together 🧡☕🎶
