Wide Awake is built for the drinker who needs their coffee to hold up, cut through and still taste like something at the bottom of a large cup. Rich notes of toffee, hazelnut, and marmalade deliver a full-bodied, caramel-forward cup that holds its flavour no matter how much milk you pour. This is the blend that doesn't get lost.

THE BLEND

Roasted on the darker side and specifically engineered for volume milk drinks, this is the blend that was made for big cups, big mornings and no compromises. Where other blends fade, Wide Awake holds. The bigger the cup, the better it performs.

TASTING NOTES

Toffee · Hazelnut · Marmalade
Strength: ●●●●●○○

Wide Awake leads with caramel and brown sugar sweetness, toffee and hazelnut up front, a hit of marmalade to keep it interesting, and chocolate sitting in the background adding depth without dominating. Nothing sharp, nothing acidic. Just deep, roasted sweetness with a syrupy body that works harder the more milk you add.

BEST SERVED

Espresso · Stovetop · Cold Brew

Wide Awake was specifically designed to hold its flavour no matter how much milk you pour. Pull it into a large latte or takeaway cup and the toffee and caramel notes come forward rather than fading away. It's equally at home over ice, the hazelnut and toffee notes become sweeter and rounder cold, making it one of the best blends in the range for iced coffee and cold brew.

BREW GUIDE & RECIPE

Dose: 20–25g · Yield: 46–52g · Time: 26–32 seconds

Grind: Fine

Wide Awake is built for espresso. Pull it into a large cup, this blend was designed to have milk added to it. If your shot tastes flat or weak, grind finer and reduce the yield slightly. If it's bitter, open up the grind. The syrupy body means it responds well to a slightly longer extraction. Try 52g for maximum sweetness and volume in milk.

Grind: Medium-fine

Fill the basket level, don't tamp · Low to medium heat

Wide Awake on the stovetop is bold and rich. Pre-heat your bottom chamber with hot water before filling, this speeds up extraction and prevents scorching. Fill the basket level, assemble and set to medium heat. Pull off the moment it begins to sputter. The result is a thick, strong concentrate that works beautifully over ice or with a splash of cold milk.

Grind: Coarse · Dose: 80g per litre · Steep: 12-16 hours


Wide Awake is one of the best blends in the range for cold brew. The toffee and hazelnut notes become sweeter and rounder cold, and the body holds up without getting harsh. Combine grounds and cold filtered water in a jar or cold brew vessel. Stir to combine, cover and refrigerate overnight. Strain through a fine mesh or paper filter. Serve over ice, straight or with milk.

All milks, dairy, oat, soy, almond. Specifically formulated for volume milk drinks. The higher the milk ratio, the more the caramel and hazelnut notes come forward. Outstanding with oat milk in a large latte.

SOURCING

67% Brazil · 33% China

The Brazilian component comes from the Alta Mogiana region, one of Brazil’s most consistently sweet and well-structured natural processing areas. Lots are selected from individual farms for smoothness and balance. The China component is sourced from Yunnan High Grown lots, bringing deeper sweetness, heavier structure, and extra intensity through milk. Together they create the reliable, bold foundation Wide Awake is known for.
