Four 100 g bags of blends built to hold their nerve in milk. DARK MATTER is a Vienna-roast Indian blend. BRUTE FORCE is a dark Arabica espresso blend from Chikmagalur. HOUSE NO. 02 is the everyday espresso, built on a washed Chikmagalur base. GRINDSTONE is a medium dark blend of Arabica and Canephora.
This is the working end of the roastery, the blends we build for cafés and for people whose first coffee of the day goes through a machine, a moka pot or a South Indian filter. The cups lean on cocoa and roasted nut, with burnt sugar underneath.
They are roasted deep. If you want fruit and acidity, look at The Four or The Ferment instead.
Storing it
Seal the bag after every use and keep it somewhere cool, dry and dark. Not the fridge, not the freezer — both move moisture into the beans.

Grind immediately before you brew, and use filtered water. Ground coffee loses more in an hour than whole bean loses in a week.

What is in the box
DARK MATTER is a Vienna-roast Indian blend, the one milk cannot flatten. BRUTE FORCE is a dark Arabica espresso blend from Chikmagalur, roasted at Depth 80. HOUSE NO. 02 is the everyday espresso, a washed Chikmagalur base finished with Kaimara sweetness. GRINDSTONE is a medium dark blend of Arabica and Canephora, the one for filter coffee and hard mornings.

Why these four
This is the working end of the roastery: the blends we build for cafés and for people whose first coffee of the day goes through a machine, a moka pot or a South Indian filter. Light roasts get the attention. These get drunk every morning.

How to use it
Each bag is 100 g, enough to dial in a recipe before you commit to a full bag. Pull espresso or use the South Indian filter, and try each one with milk. House No. 02 is balanced and forgiving, a good one to open first. Brute Force is the darkest.

Ask us
05questionsDo these work in milk?
That is what the box is for. All four are roasted medium dark to dark, and the cocoa, caramel and nut hold their shape under milk instead of washing out.
Which grind should I choose?
The set suggests espresso or South Indian filter. Choose one grind for the whole box when you add it to the cart. If you use more than one brewer, choose whole bean. A ground bag cannot be un-ground.
Is this a bright, fruity box?
No. These are roasted deep, from Depth 66 to 80, so expect cocoa, nut and burnt sugar rather than fruit. For fruit and acidity, look at The Four or The Ferment.
Can I swap one of the four?
No. The four are fixed: Dark Matter, Brute Force, House No. 02 and Grindstone. To choose your own five, use Pick Your Five.
How fresh will it be?
Roasted to order in New Delhi and dispatched within 1–2 working days. Delivery across India is free and usually takes 3–6 days.
