Private could quickly become your favourite coffee.
For our Private blend we've chosen various single origin coffee flavours that blend beautifully to tease the tastebuds with milk chocolate, caramel and hazelnut notes.
The Private Blend has the best coffee beans Australia has harvested from some of the most abundant Arabica coffee growing countries.
The velvety texture makes Private our best plunger coffee, as it has a great depth of flavour. The full bodied finely ground coffee is great for use in a pourover or home espresso machine.
The classic chocolate and hazelnut notes come through beautifully in lattes, flat whites and cappuccinos.
These locally roasted Australian coffee beans are the perfect accompaniment to chocolate cake, cinnamon scrolls or your favourite chocolate sweets.
We've mastered the art of coffee bean roasting, so you can easily indulge your love of brewed coffee at home, and our Private blend is versatile, and delicious for both black and milk-based coffees.
We follow a strict roasting profile to ensure your coffee is always fresh. That's why we roast daily, so the Arabica coffee beans maintain a rich, balanced flavour specific to each blend.
Private blend coffee is a firm favourite, and our roasters work hard to make sure the flavour is always consistent. After all, our customers expect nothing less from us, especially when it's Merlo's signature coffee.
