Phin filter on the table, condensed milk tin cracked open, ice waiting in the glass. This is coffee the Vietnamese way.

Meet Vietnam Ca Phe Highlands, our proper dark roast from the Central Highlands. Deep, robust, unmistakably bold. Bittersweet chocolate, toasted cacao, and a smoky finish that lingers long after the last sip.

Here's how we love it. Drip it slow through a phin, stir in a spoon of condensed milk, pour the whole lot over ice. Cà phê sữa đá, sorted.

No phin in the cupboard? Not to worry. It's brilliant through a French Press too, just as rich and bold in the cup.

There's something lovely about a coffee that carries a whole tradition with it. Slow to brew, worth every minute.

So tell us, who's tried Vietnamese-style iced coffee before? And how do you take yours, sweet and milky or bold and black ☕

Milk chocolate and caramel, poured into a mug that's been warming in the sun on the garden table.

Sweet Brazil is our light-medium single-origin, grown up in the Brazilian highlands. Smooth, low-acid, gently sweet, with a roasted hazelnut warmth that seems to belong out here among the deck chairs and slow afternoons.

We love it for days like this. A scatter of hazelnuts on the saucer, a small square of milk chocolate melting at the edge, and the cup doing all the talking. No rush, no fuss.

Pour it black to let those chocolatey notes shine, or stretch it into something iced when the afternoon really heats up. However you take it, give it the time it deserves.

July afternoons, sorted. Where's your favourite spot to drink yours, garden bench, kitchen window, or somewhere a bit more adventurous ☕

Some days the light is flat and grey, and the lake holds it perfectly still.

July in the UK doesn't always mean sunshine. Sometimes it's a damp beanie, a puffer zipped right up to the chin, and a thermos of something dark and chocolatey warming your hands on a cold rock by the water.

That's exactly when Mambo Italiano earns its place in the flask. Our best-selling dark roast is bold, rich, and properly bracing when the air's turned cool and the hills have gone soft at the edges.

There's something lovely about an overcast day with nowhere particular to be. Just the still water, the quiet, and a mug of something that fills your hands with warmth while the weather does its thing.

Overcast, unhurried, earned ☕

So tell us, where's your favourite spot to drink a thermos brew when the weather turns? Lakeside rock, misty hillside, or somewhere a bit more sheltered?

Fresh bag of Sweet Brazil, and the cup comes out flat? Nine times out of ten, the beans aren't the ones to blame.

You open a bag expecting rich milk-chocolate and toasted nut sweetness. Then a couple of small brewing habits quietly flatten those delicate flavours before they ever reach your mug.

Water above 96°C is the usual culprit. It strips the sweetness and leaves a sharp edge behind, so drop your kettle down to 90 or 92°C and taste the difference.

Low-acid beans like these also want a medium grind to keep bitterness away, plus a proper 30-second bloom so those natural caramels have room to open up.

We crafted Sweet Brazil to be a wonderfully mellow, smooth cup. A few little tweaks to your routine are all it takes to coax those lovely chocolate notes back to life ☕

Butterscotch finish, honey-roasted hazelnut, a whisper of apricot. New Latin earns every sip.

It's our Strength 5 dark roast, a blend of 100% Arabica from Brazil, Colombia and Peru. There's dark chocolate depth and marzipan sweetness running underneath, but it's that bright Latin American lift that really sets it apart. The kind of cup that keeps a small ceramic espresso cup interesting long after the garden lights come on.

Beans ground fresh. A square of dark chocolate resting on the saucer. Summer evening, sorted.

There's something lovely about a roast that gives you a proper hit of chocolate and still keeps a little brightness singing at the finish. No rush, no fuss, just good beans doing their thing on a warm night ☕

So tell us. Espresso, cafetière, or milk drink, how are you brewing yours?

Dark chocolate on the nose, butterscotch on the finish. This one earns its place on the counter.

There's a proper ritual to grinding fresh beans on a warm summer evening. Scooping our New Latin whole beans straight into the grinder, watching that deep, dark roast catch the last of the golden light 🌅

This is our Strength 5 dark roast, a blend of Arabica beans from Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Ground fresh, it releases rich aromas of dark chocolate and roasted hazelnut. Bold, smooth, and brilliant in your favourite espresso cup.

The kind of cup that asks you to slow down for ten minutes once the day's finally winding down.

Flat cup, thin finish, a bitter edge where the caramel should sit. The beans aren't the problem.

Sweet Brazil is a light-medium roast built for milk chocolate, soft caramel, and roasted nut. Lovely in the cup when the cafetière treats it right. But three small habits quietly flatten all of it.

Grind too fine. Steep past four minutes. Pour too fast from the pot.

Here's how to put it right. Coarse grind, like sea salt. Four minutes to steep, then one minute to settle. A slow pour from height, and leave the last centimetre behind in the pot.

Same beans, properly sorted, a far sweeter cup ☕

Where do you stand on light-medium roasts. Daily brew, or something you save for a quiet afternoon.
