"I order The Dark Seas beans as our staple go to beans for the machine at home. The roast is delicious and I have not found a bean I like more. The online service and delivery is fast and economical."

Medium-Dark | Dark chocolate, bright, sweet cherries
The Dark Seas coffee blend boasts beans that have been roasted longer and darker, resulting in a velvety taste of indulgent cocoa and cream with a subtle touch of tangy blackcurrant and cherry. We specifically crafted this blend to have a lower acidity and a fuller body, making it perfect for lattes and surprisingly stable with alternative milks like soy and almond.
I don't have a grinder. What setting do I choose when buying your coffee? Let's step you through the options to help you find the perfect choice.
Espresso
This will be best for most domestic espresso machines.
Stove-top
Suits a traditional moka pot style brewer.
Aeropress
Great for those devices or similar from other manufacturers.
Filter
A little coarser now, good for most styles of pour-over brewing.
Plunger
This is our coarsest setting. For a slower brewed, smooth french-press.

FAQ
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?
We roast fresh every day - that means it’s never sitting around in a warehouse waiting to be picked. Once it's roasted, we pack it up and send it out fresh, usually with all orders sent the next business day. You'll see the roast date right on the bag, so you know exactly when it was made.
How is it packaged? Will it stay fresh?
Every bag is fitted with a one-way valve to keep oxygen out and flavour in. We also use resealable packaging so your coffee stays as fresh on day 10 as it was on day 1. No stale beans here.
How long does shipping take?
Once your coffee is roasted, we typically ship the next business day. We use Australia Post, a reliable, nationwide, trackable delivery service. So your order gets to you quickly and in peak condition. You’ll get a tracking number as soon as it’s on its way.
What does it taste like?
Each of our blends is crafted from selected crops for a distinct flavour profile. For example, The Dark Seas tastes kinda like dark chocolate with a hint of cherry — rich, smooth, and never bitter. We use natural-tasting descriptions, not technical jargon, so you know what you're getting in the cup.
About us
We love what we do
It’s what gets us out of bed — well, that and a good cup of coffee. At Hello Coffee, we roast fresh every weekday morning, right here in Apollo Bay. The gear fires up early, the place smells amazing, and we’re proud to send out coffee that’s genuinely fresh, not just fresh-ish.
Quality control
Coffee’s a natural product, which means it can shift with the seasons. That’s why we cup our blends nearly every day to make sure each batch still hits that sweet spot.
It’s part science, part experience, and part very enjoyable quality control.
