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.
