A GLOBAL COFFEE AWARD FINALIST 

Development was created to be a modern-classic, a side-eye to the old skool. A big, bold profile, but not too dark; a rebellious crowd pleaser.

Big chocolate, smooth caramel, and bursting with dark berries. It owns milky drinks and will stretch to a delicious black coffee. 

Our House blend received an Honourable Mention in the 2025 Global Coffee Awards (Europe) 'espresso blend with milk' category placing one of the top spots across the entire continent, and globally. 


Tasting notes describe the sensory qualities of the coffee; batching aroma, flavour, body, acidity and finish together to provide a snapshot of what you can expect. It's a subjective shortcut, but it's our take on it.

This refers to the process we use to transform green coffee beans into roasted coffee. It involves factors like temperature, time, the rate of heat application, and bean density. Different roast profiles result in varied flavour profiles and we roast our own way here at Craft House. Our profiles are unique and give our coffees character. As a specialty roaster we tend to avoid the darker end of the spectrum but we do crowd please. A lighter roast emphasises the bean's origin and acidity, while a medium roast balances acidity and sweetness. A darker roast, brings out bolder flavours like chocolate, caramel and nuts.

Roast Breakdown

We commit to every batch of Development, taking a more-is-more approach. We roast each coffee component separately before slowly blending to ensure even distribution of beans.

Roasting the origins separately allows for precise control over flavour development. This method enables us to tailor roast profiles to each beans' unique characteristics, minimising the risk of flavour dominance and ensuring optimal development for each component within the blend. The result is a more nuanced and complex profile.

Our South American coffees from lower altitudes need a gentler touch, lower heat and lower airflow so we can draw out all the flavours without rushing the process. Whereas, our African coffees, grown at higher altitudes, get a little more heat and airflow to keep the roast developing. When two origins come together, you get a beautiful parity.

Our blend base comes from our trusted CRAFTSTACK™ Branded Sacks partners in Brazil, Costa Café, with the top alternating between seasons to achieve the flavour profile.
