Forza Blend - for those who like it bold and strong

Italian for strength, Forza is for early mornings, fast starts, and late nights. Blended with a sprinkle of Robusta beans to give you that extra caffeine kick when you need it most. Rich oak and toffee flavours fuse with dark chocolate and a lingering burnt caramel finish. This will definitely get your engine started!

Our Forza coffee beans are perfect for the sophisticated person who enjoys a blend that delivers a kickstart with bold flavours, beautiful aromas and an intense caffeine hit.

With a primarily Arabica coffee beans base, we've added a depth of complexity by including a small amount of the highest quality Robusta coffee beans, which contain twice the caffeine of Arabica beans.

Discovering the origins behind Forza coffee beans

Forza is an exotic coffee blend that combines coffee beans from four different regions.

  • Brazilian single-origin coffee is chosen for its full-bodied chocolate and roasted nuts flavours.
  • Indonesian coffee beans are added for their intense dried fruit aromatics and oak flavour, tempered by a toffee-sweet Kenyan with clean, crisp acidity.
  • The two Papua New Guinean single-origin coffee beans play off against each other: the sweet and smooth milk chocolate and honey of the Bourbon Arusha varietals balance the intense flavours of the Robusta coffee beans, brought in for their extra caffeine.

Café quality coffee at home - a bold and intense caffeine hit

No matter how you drink your Forza coffee, it's not for the faint-hearted.

When prepared on an espresso machine, Forza's bold flavours of Arabica and Robusta
coffee beans cut through the milkiness of lattes and cappuccinos, and the oak and toffee
flavours really shine.

Some long-term customers swear that making a plunger with Forza coffee beans and adding a dash of milk is the perfect morning ritual before tackling the day. Some more daring customers brew it Italian style on a stovetop for a supercharged short black.

Crafting our unique Forza coffee flavour profile

Roasted daily in our Brisbane warehouse, the Forza coffee blend is a medium-dark roast created from carefully sourced origin coffees from around the world.

Our artisan coffee roasters make sure the coffee beans are put through stringent testing by our Q-grader, to maintain the boldness and quality of each batch of Forza. So you know you're consistently getting a premium product when you buy coffee beans from Merlo.

With its sweet flavours, chocolate notes and lingering burnt caramel finish, Forza lives up to its name.

FLAVOUR | Toffee & Oak

AROMA | Earthy & Sweet

FINISH | Lingering

ACIDITY | Mild

BODY | Full.

Forza is a premium espresso coffee blend designed to deliver that much-needed caffeine boost whenever you need it.

Indulge in the harmonious blend of rich oak, toffee, and dark chocolate flavours, culminating in a lingering burnt caramel finish. To ignite your engine, choose Forza when you next buy coffee beans.

    Turkish coffee combines extra finely ground coffee with water, boiling it in a small pot. An extra-fine grind is essential because Turkish coffee is served unfiltered.


    Please note: while we try and grind to your specific settings, we cannot guarantee the grind setting will be exact for your set up.

    If you do require a more specific grind setting, it may be worth investing in a grinder, and you can view our range of preferred coffee grinders HERE.

    Same blend for years!

    Forza is my absolute favourite blend! I’ve been getting this blend on repeat either as beans or ground for the past couple of years and have no regrets! I drink it daily and always look forward to my smooth and delicious coffee each morning. Customer service is always amazing and the ease of subscriptions means my coffee arrives before I need it with no fuss and no need to remember to place an order. Definitely my coffee of choice!

    Thank you so much for your glowing review on our customer service and our coffee. Thank you for being a loyal customer.
