Di Pacci Coffee Co. — Roasted In-House — Australia

After Dark Blend 250g Dark Roast Coffee Beans

Our boldest, darkest blend — roasted in-house for an intense, full-bodied cup with notes of caramel, hints of red berries, and a long, smooth finish. Strong and rich, After Dark is built for drinkers who like their espresso to stand up loud and clear, especially through milk.

Blended from four origins — Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea — and taken to a dark roast, After Dark delivers a robust crema and low perceived acidity that suits espresso machines, plunger and filter alike. It's one of Di Pacci's most popular blends, with a loyal following among home baristas who want café-strength coffee without leaving the kitchen.

Flavour Profile

After Dark is all about depth. The dark roast develops the sugars in the beans into rich caramel sweetness, while the underlying origins keep a thread of bright, fruity character — hints of red berries and pitted fruit — woven through the body. The finish is long and smooth rather than sharp or ashy, so the intensity reads as bold, not burnt.

The Origins

After Dark is a four-origin blend, each contributing a different layer to the cup. Together they give the blend its balance of body, sweetness and brightness under the dark roast.

ColombiaRounded body and classic, comforting sweetness.
BrazilNutty, chocolatey base with low acidity.
EthiopiaBright, fruity lift and aromatic complexity.
Papua New GuineaRich depth and a heavier, fuller body.

Espresso Recipe

A reliable starting point for dialling in After Dark on a standard espresso machine. Treat it as a baseline and adjust to taste — results will vary between machines, grinders and dine-in versus takeaway cups.

Frequently Asked Questions

How strong is the After Dark blend?

After Dark is one of our most intense blends — a true dark roast with a bold, full body and robust crema. It's strong and rich without being ashy, with caramel sweetness and a long, smooth finish that carries well through milk.

Can I get the beans pre-ground?

Yes. After Dark ships as whole beans by default, but espresso, plunger and filter grinds are available as a special request at checkout. For the freshest cup we recommend whole beans and grinding to order if you have a grinder.

What's the best way to brew After Dark?

It shines as espresso. A good baseline on a standard machine is a 21g basket, 22g dose in, 40ml out, in around 30 seconds — then adjust to taste. It also works beautifully in a plunger or filter for a fuller, lower-pressure brew.

How many cups will 250g make?

At roughly 18–22g per double shot, a 250g bag yields around 11 to 13 espressos. For filter or plunger brewing using slightly less coffee per cup, you'll get a few more.

Is shipping free?

Free shipping applies on all orders over $200 across Australia. Orders under $200 ship at a standard $14.95, with freight charges possible for non-metro and bulky items. Stock up or add a bundle to reach the free-shipping threshold.

The best ive tried

I am the biggest coffee snob and have been making my own coffee for years.

I refuse to buy from any cafe as i always end up throwing it away after a sip or 2 as its always burnt and bitter.

i am in the process of sourcing the perfect coffee to serve in my coffee van when i open later in the year.

this coffee has the perfect flavour profile for me and grinds consistently and stays fresh enough that it tastes the same 2 weeks after opening when stored correctly.

I have had many compliments when i have made visitors coffee and they all agree my coffee is the better than any cafe around here and they are all excited for my van to open because its the best coffee they have had and they finally found coffee worth drinking.

Thankyou

Delicious coffee

DiPacci is delicious coffee. I love flavour of After Dark blend. Serivce is fantastic. I recently moved from NSW to Qld and my coffee still arrived within the same timeframe.

Love this blend!

I've had a Lelit machine for a couple of years now and gone through a few 'regular' beans. This is my new fav. It was the stand out for me of the 4 pack I received as a gift. Definitely a strong coffee and prefer a lower 19g than the recommended as the volume of these ground beans is greater than other beans Ive had. A great coffee!!
