Summer Blend Limited Edition Coffee

To celebrate this holiday season, we’ve bought back our best-selling limited-edition Summer Blend, inspired by our idyllic Australian coastline. 

Whether enjoyed in your morning espresso, on ice by the pool, or gifted to the coffee lover in your life, this blend will awaken your senses to golden shores, cicada songs, and the relaxing possibilities of summer.

Summer Blend Origin & Tasting Profile

Our Summer Blend is a carefully crafted journey across the globe, starting with Colombian coffee, known for its vibrant richness and indulgent cocoa undertones. To this, we add the nutty, mellow tones of Brazilian beans, along with the bright and complex flavours of Papua New Guinean coffees.

Summer Blend is a bright, smooth coffee designed to lift your day. We’ve sourced premium 100% Arabica beans from high-altitude plantations in Kenya and Colombia, chosen for their natural sweetness and lively character.

Kenyan beans bring a vibrant, juicy profile with subtle berry notes and a full, satisfying body. Colombian Caturra beans add gentle caramel undertones, fragrant aromas, and a smooth, mellow finish. Together, they create a balanced cup with a fresh, approachable flavour.

Flavour: Cocoa, Caramel and Hazelnut
Aroma: Dark Chocolate & Caramel
Finish: Lingering
Acidity: Mild
Body: Full.

Brewing tips for the perfect cup of Summer Blend

Summer Blend is versatile and adapts well to a variety of brewing methods:

  • Home Coffee Machine: Use a medium grind and a slightly lower temperature setting if possible to highlight the coffee’s natural sweetness and aromatic notes.
  • Plunger or French Press: Yields a rich, velvety coffee with soft, sweet highlights.
  • Filter or Pourover (AeroPress, V60): Brings forward the bright, aromatic notes while allowing you to fine-tune strength.
  • Cold Brew: Extracts refreshing, lightly sweet flavours, perfect for warm days.
  • Stovetop brewing: Produces a concentrated, smooth coffee with gentle caramel undertones.

No matter how you brew it, Summer Blend delivers a lively, satisfying cup that’s easy to enjoy anytime, hot or cold.

 

GRIND GUIDE  
GRIND GUIDE
x
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.

AEROPRESS & FILTER (medium grind: 5.7)
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.

HOME ESPRESSO MACHINE (fine grind: 4.7)
This category includes simple home espresso machines. For example:
  • Atomic Coffee Maker
  • 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.

    SEMI-PRO ESPRESSO MACHINE (finer grind: 4.0)
    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:
  • Bellezza Espresso Machines
  • Breville Dual Boiler
  • ECM Giotto
  • Kitchen Aid Espresso Machine
  • La Pavoni Lever
  • Sunbeam Café Series
  • Vibiemme Domobar

    In addition to the semi-pro machines listed above, there are other brewing devices where grind 4.0 works well:
  • Wacaco Nanopresso portable coffee maker
  • Handpresso portable coffee maker
  • Portaspresso portable coffee maker.

    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 (very fine grind: 2.0)
    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.

    Summer blend

    This is the first time I have changed my coffee flavours and I must say the summer blend is very nice to drink.

    We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed our Summer Blend Valerie. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Team Merlo

    This coffee is supreme

    I'm so glad this coffee is back on the menu. I hope it's a permanent blend. It's rich, it's smooth, it's dark, it's full-bodied, it's strong, it's a joy to drink. And the beans are so rich island dark in colour when grinded. Thank you Merlo for creating a delicious coffee. And the packaging just makes you happy.

    Thank you for your glowing review of our Summer Blend coffee Maria! We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying its rich and smooth flavour. We'll definitely consider making it a permanent blend; however, if you are looking for something similar in the meantime, we would recommend the Riviera. Thank you for choosing Merlo and for the lovely feedback
