Buying guide & FAQs

Which Dark Woods coffee should I choose?

Under Milk Wood: Dark Woods' first blend and the place to start. It is a medium roast with crowd-pleasing caramel sweetness and a multiple Great Taste Award winner. It was designed for espresso but works well in filter and cafetière too. Also available as a 1kg bag.
Crow Tree: dark yet bright, roasted darker for bold flavours like good dark chocolate. It uses coffee from women farmers in Peru through the Café Femenino programme. Suits fans of traditional, richer coffee. Also in 1kg.
Deer Hill: a modern take on Italian-style espresso. Speciality arabicas are blended with high-quality Robusta from India's Harley Estate for a smooth, rich, full-bodied cup. Also in 1kg.
Lamplight Decaf: single-estate Central or South American coffee decaffeinated by the chemical-free Swiss Water Process. It has a rich, cake-like sweetness with hints of dried fruit. Also in 1kg.

Beans or ground?

Choose beans if you have a grinder or a bean-to-cup or espresso machine. They stay fresher for longer. Choose ground (filter/cafetière) if you brew in a cafetière, filter machine or pour-over. You can add an optional reusable bag clip to any bag.

Brewing tips from the roaster

For filter or cafetière, Dark Woods recommend about 60g of coffee per litre of water. For espresso, start at roughly a 1:2.5 ratio (for example, 17g of coffee for a 42g shot) and adjust to taste.
