Our best seller. Built for cafés. Perfected for home machines.

Mount Buninyong was designed for daily café service, then refined to extract cleanly and consistently on Prosumer equipment as well as home machines like Breville, Sunbeam and DeLonghi.

Rich chocolate, caramel and smooth toffee sweetness. Low acidity. Full syrupy body.

Bold enough for milk. Clean enough for a long black. Consistent enough to dial in without frustration.

Fuller than most specialty roasts, without the bitterness of traditional dark blends. Reliable flavour and extraction every day, designed to be consistent across home machines.

The safe choice when you just want great coffee. Same profile year-round. No surprises.

We roast over 2 Tonne of Mount Buninyong blend every month. It has won Gold, Silver & Bronze at the Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards, Silver and Bronze at the Golden Bean, and Bronze at the Adelaide Fine Food Awards.

The Brazilian component is Nossa, a coffee built in partnership with SOS Mata Atlântica to fund reforestation of the Atlantic Forest biome in Brazil. Every bag you buy directly supports replanting one of the most important ecosystems on earth. Good coffee doing good work.

If this is your daily coffee, put it on subscription and save 10% on every bag.

I've been brewing and enjoying Karon Farm's Mount Buninyong blend for a number of years now. Recently I recommissioned and recalibrated my ROK hand grinder as well as deploying an accurate scale to measure exactly 20grams, so tamping pressure and brewing time are consistently repeatable, the shot taste is perfect to the last sip, and the discarded coffee pucks are spot on! Thanks Luke for your consistently enjoyable Mount Buninyong blend!

I've been enjoying Karon Farm Buninyong Blend coffee beans for quite some time, up until now my daily ritual of grinding the beans with an electric burr grinder and brewing my coffee with my La Pavoni Professional Espresso Machine resulting in the rewarding silky smooth taste. Well anyway lately the taste wasn't quite right, so deduced that my ageing 25 year old electric grinder was past its best, so resurrected and reacquainted myself with my ROK manual grinder and Bingo, the silky smooth taste returned instantly, all the way to the last sip! Thanks Luke, love my Karon Farm Buninyong Blend!

This is my absolute go to blend. Full flavoured but still easy to drink. Never makes a bland tasting coffee. Highly recommended.

We highly recommend Karon Farm’s Mount Buninyong Blend and have been using it to make our cappuccino life savers on a daily basis. I am not a barista but can produce consistent flavour and texture that we enjoy. Once dialled in, each batch just requires minimal grinding adjustments as the weather changes during the day or from day to day.
Try this roast for yourself and taste how wonderful it is.

Mount Buninyong Blend has become the everyday coffee blend at home. Rich flavour with a smooth finish and just the right strength, it works beautifully with milk but is just as smooth for a long black. Consistent, reliable and roasted locally in Ballarat, it ticks every box.

This is my favorite blend. I use it in a Breville "bean to cup" machine with excellent results. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

I love all the blends, but I especially enjoy this one as a long black. It grinds and extracts perfectly in my coffee machine, and I always get a lovely, creamy crema. Delicious!

We love all the blends but Mount Buninyong is our favourite, it makes such a nice coffee. We've now become coffee snobs though and really notice poor quality beans.
Having them delivered makes it so easy too.
