Riviera Blend - Smooth, Sweet, and Hypnotic

Named after the coastline, Riviera was created for those who want the boldness of traditional espresso but with an added touch of fruit-driven sweetness. It strikes a beautiful balance between a rich, heavy body and a delicate, aromatic finish.

The secret is in the beans

To create Riviera, our team sources premium 100% Arabica beans from high-altitude plantations in Kenya and Colombia. We roast these origins separately to protect their unique profiles before blending them into our robust Espresso base.

The result is a complex cup where the deep chocolate notes of the espresso meet the bright, jammy pomegranate and caramel sweetness of the added origins. It's a flavourful experience that leaves a delicious, lingering aftertaste.

The Roaster's Profile

Flavour Caramel, Pomegranate & Dark Chocolate
Aroma Sweet & Nutty
Finish Silky Smooth & Lingering
Acidity Mild
Body Medium

Exceptionally versatile

Riviera is one of our most forgiving blends. While it’s popular for domestic espresso machines, the sweet aromatics and smooth finish make it an incredible choice for filter, drip coffee, or even a stovetop.

Common Questions

1. How does this compare to the Espresso Blend?

Think of it as our Espresso Blend's sweeter cousin. It has the same strength but with added caramel and fruit notes that soften the overall cup.

2. Is it good for milk-based coffees?

Absolutely. The caramel sweetness pairs beautifully with milk, making it a favorite for lattes and flat whites.

PLUNGER (coarse grind: 6.2)
Plunger (or French Press) and other similar immersion brew devices, which involved the ground coffee having contact with the water for an extended time. A coarse grind is most effective.

This category includes a range of brew devices that use filters (paper or reusable). Devices include the AeroPress, & AeroPressGo, the Hario V60, Chemex & Fretta, the MoccaMaster and other cone-filtered methods where water is poured over ground coffee. A medium grind is recommended.

STOVETOP (medium/fine grind: 5.1)
Also known as Moka pot, a stovetop to produces a strong, concentrated coffee, and is best with medium/fine grind is best for this brew device.

  • Breville Bambino & Plus
  • Breville Compact Café & Infuser
  • Breville Duo Temp Pro
  • Delonghi Dedica Range
  • Krups Coffee Makers.
  • Solis Barista Perfetta Plus.

    HOME ESPRESSO MACHINE (fine grind: 4.5)
    This slightly finer grind of 4.5 is available to help you optimise performance of your home coffee machine. It allows for flexibility, ensuring you find the ideal grind setting. The one machine that perfectly suits this grind is listed below.
  • Baby Gaggia

    SEMI-PRO ESPRESSO MACHINE (finer grind: 4.2)
    Includes machines for home or workplaces with greater functionality, such as a double boiler that has one boiler for brewing coffee and another for steaming milk. Examples include:
  • Ascaso Baby & Barista T Machines
  • Boema
  • Faema Faemina
  • Gaggia Milano
  • Nuova Simonelli Musica & Oscar
  • Rancilio Silvia
  • Rocket Appartamento & Giotto
  • Wega W Mini.

    REFILLABLE PODS (fine grind: 3.5)
    No matter the brand, or type of refillable capsules or pods you have, a fine grind works best.

    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.
