How to Brew a Mind Blowing Flat White at Home

WHAT YOU NEED

• 15g of Urban Brew dark roast whole beans: freshly ground of course!

• 130ml full cream milk: (or your favourite oat or soy alternative for a silky texture)

• Optional: A tiny pinch of raw sugar to unlock those rich, dark choccy notes

STEP-BY-STEP

1. Grind your dark roast whole beans fresh and extract a double ristretto shot (roughly 30ml) using your home machine to lock in that high-intensity, low-acidity base.

2. Watch that thick, syrupy dark crema pour out and resist the urge to skull it immediately, because patience is a virtue, apparently.

3. Steam your 130ml of milk until it hits a smooth, velvety micro-foam state. You want the texture of wet paint, keeping the foam layer razor-thin so it blends flawlessly into the espresso.

4. Pour the silky milk swiftly and gently over your short shot, keeping the pitcher close to the cup to seamlessly swirl the liquid right into the base.

5. Finish with a perfectly flat, velvety surface that punches through the milk like a heavyweight, ready for a proper morning hit of energy.

PRO TIP

Serve this up in your favorite ceramic mug, take a slow sip, and feel inner-peace, until the rest of the house wakes up anyway.

Dark Roast Coffee Beans for Home Coffee Machines


Nobody likes weak bean water. Our dark roast is a heavy-bodied, high-intensity blend delivering bold flavour with low acidity, roasted locally at a roaring 4.5/5 intensity for serious coffee drinkers who are done with stale supermarket shelves ☕


Most people think dark roast means a burnt taste. This blend proves you can get maximum strength without the bitterness. Expect tasting notes of peanuts, black tea and a rich cacao finish that punches through milk like a heavyweight.


If your current morning routine feels like a boring corporate meeting when what you actually need is a serious wake-up call, this is the one. And yes, it pairs perfectly with your pyjamas.

Got questions?

(we've got answers)

Our dark roast whole beans are carefully roasted locally to ensure you get a dark roast coffee bean profile known for bold flavour but naturally low acidity. This precise method allows the natural dark chocolate and caramel notes of our specialty-grade dark roast coffee to develop fully, giving you a rich drink that remains beautifully balanced without bitterness.

For a home espresso machine, start with a fine espresso grind. As our Dark Roast extracts more easily, you may find it tastes best with a slightly coarser grind than a lighter roast.Every machine is a little different, so use this as your starting point and adjust until you get a smooth, balanced extraction. Grinding fresh just before brewing will give you the best flavour in every cup.

A 500g bag yields roughly 30 to 35 cups for double shots, or exactly 41 cafe-style espresso shots when using a standard single 12g dose. If you want to secure your supply for the long haul and save a stack of cash, load up on a medium roast bean bundle. Or grab a subscription on us- because hey, it beats the six-dollar daylight robbery happening down at your local corner cafe. It's never been easier to buy whole bean coffee in Australia that you'll genuinely love for a smidge of the price.
