Smooth. Balanced. Everyday favourite.

Our Medium Roast just rolled in from Colombia like the smoothest flirt alive: orange-zest wink, juicy red-apple slide-in, honey-caramel whisper, jasmine perfume that ghosts you sweetly (other beans just left the chat).

How to Brew a Medium Roast Macchiato at Home

WHAT YOU NEED

• 12g of Urban Brew medium roast whole beans: freshly ground for a smooth taste!

• 30ml of your favourite milk: just enough to texturize, not to drown it.

• A home espresso machine and bean grinder: your tools of the trade.

• A small espresso glass or demitasse cup: ready for a punchy hit of caffeine.

STEP-BY-STEP

1. Fire up your grinder, dial in your setting, and grind your 12g of medium roast whole beans fresh into your portafilter. Lock it in and extract a standard, beautifully balanced shot directly into your small espresso glass.

2. Purge your steam wand and froth your 30ml of milk for just a few seconds - you want a dense, velvety micro-foam rather than a giant jug of hot liquid.

3. Take a tablespoon and gently spoon one or two dollops of that thick, silky milk foam directly onto the centre of your fresh espresso crema.

4. Watch the white foam sit cleanly on top of the rich, dark base, resisting the urge to stir it all together so you get that perfect contrast of intense espresso and sweet milk.

Enjoy!

PRO TIP

A true macchiato means 'marked' or 'stained' coffee, so don't accidentally turn it into a tiny latte by pouring hot liquid milk in. You only want the velvety foam to cleanly cut through the initial punch of the shot.

Got questions?

(we've got answers)

Our medium roast balances lighter, fruitier notes with zero bitterness and just a hint of chocolate.

For a perfect espresso extraction at home, start with a fine espresso grind and adjust from there to suit your machine. Medium roast beans give you a little room to play, so dial it finer if your shot is running too quickly, or slightly coarser if it’s extracting too slowly.For a standard basket, start with around 12g of coffee and tweak from there until you hit that smooth, balanced sweet spot.

A 500g bag yields roughly 30 to 35 cups for double shots, or exactly 41 café-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 café. It's never been easier to buy whole bean coffee in Australia that you'll genuinely love for a smidge of the price.
