Di Pacci Coffee Co. — Dark Roast — Espresso & Filter — 500g (2 × 250g)

After Dark Blend 500g Dark Roast Coffee Beans

Bold, intense and smooth — Di Pacci's four-origin dark roast with caramel sweetness, red-berry lift and a long, clean finish. $24.95.

The After Dark Blend is Di Pacci's bold, full-throttle dark roast coffee — a blend of 100% Arabica coffee beans crafted for drinkers who want intensity, depth and crema in every cup. These dark roast coffee beans deliver a robust, satisfying flavour with a heavy body and a smooth, lingering finish, built to cut through milk and stand up to any espresso machine.

With intense flavour, caramel sweetness and a subtle hint of red berries, the After Dark Blend is the natural choice for anyone who finds medium roasts too light. It pulls a rich, syrupy espresso, powers through flat whites and lattes without disappearing, and finishes long and clean — never burnt or hollow.

Why After Dark Blend Is Built for Bold Coffee Lovers

🔥 Intense, Full-Bodied Strength

The After Dark Blend is roasted dark for genuine intensity — a powerful, robust cup with the heavy body and crema that bold-coffee drinkers look for. It's the blend to reach for when a medium roast just isn't enough.

🍮 Deep Caramel Sweetness

Dark roasting develops a rich caramel sweetness that balances the intensity — so the cup tastes deep and satisfying rather than sharp or burnt. That sweetness carries through black or with milk.

🍒 Subtle Red-Berry Lift

A subtle hint of red berries cuts through the dark-roast depth, adding a flicker of fruity complexity that keeps the blend interesting cup after cup — a touch most dark roasts lose entirely.

🥛 Powers Through Milk

The heavy body and bold flavour mean the After Dark Blend holds its character in milk-based drinks. Flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos keep a strong coffee backbone instead of fading into the milk.

🌍 4-Origin Complexity

Built from four carefully chosen origins — Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea — each contributing body, sweetness, aromatics and weight for a consistent, complex dark roast in every batch.

⚙️ Ideal for Espresso & Machines

Optimised for espresso and home machines, the After Dark Blend pulls a thick, syrupy shot with strong crema, and works equally well through automatic bean-to-cup machines, filter and French press.

Where the After Dark Blend Coffee Beans Come From

🇨🇴 Colombia — balanced, caramel richness with smooth, mild acidity.
🇧🇷 Brazil — chocolatey, nutty base; contributes body, sweetness and crema.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia — floral, fruit notes; the source of the blend's subtle red-berry lift.
🇵🇬 Papua New Guinea — earthy, full-bodied; adds weight and richness to the finish.

After Dark Blend — Common Questions

What do the After Dark Blend dark roast coffee beans taste like?

The After Dark Blend is a dark roast with an intense, full-bodied flavour, deep caramel sweetness and a subtle hint of red berries. It pulls a rich, syrupy espresso with strong crema and finishes long, smooth and clean — bold without turning bitter or burnt. It's the blend for drinkers who want real strength in the cup.

Is the After Dark Blend good for espresso?

Yes — it's purpose-built for espresso. Our house recipe is 22g in for a 40ml shot over about 30 seconds. The dark roast and heavy body produce a thick, syrupy shot with strong crema. Treat the recipe as a baseline and adjust dose, grind and time to suit your machine and taste.

Will the After Dark Blend hold up in milk-based drinks?

Yes — its bold flavour and heavy body are exactly what milk drinks need. In a flat white, latte or cappuccino the coffee keeps a strong backbone instead of disappearing under the milk, while the caramel sweetness complements steamed milk.

Where do the After Dark Blend beans come from?

The blend draws from four origins — Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea. Brazil and Colombia provide body, sweetness and crema, Ethiopia contributes the subtle red-berry lift, and Papua New Guinea adds weight and richness to the finish.

How fresh are the beans when they arrive?

Di Pacci roasts to order — your After Dark Blend 500g is freshly roasted before dispatch, not sitting in a warehouse. Dark roasts are typically at their best from around 5–14 days post-roast for espresso. The 500g pack arrives as 2 × 250g bags, so you can open one and keep the second sealed for maximum freshness.

How should I store the After Dark Blend after opening?

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place — a cupboard away from the stove is ideal. Avoid the fridge (condensation and odours) and clear glass jars in daylight (light degrades quality). Once opened, consume within 2–4 weeks for best flavour.

Is the After Dark Blend available in other sizes?

Yes — After Dark is also available in a 1kg bag for regular drinkers. New to Di Pacci coffee? The 4 × 250g sample pack is the best way to compare blends across the range.
