Italian Dark Roast Coffee Blend

Black Powder’s Italian Blend combines Indonesian and African coffees in a bold, smooth dark roast. Sweet body, cocoa and cedar describe the intended cup. The roaster also provides an AeroPress starting recipe of 16.5 grams of coffee to 250 grams of water, giving you a concrete way to explore the blend’s texture.

Cup or flavor profile Sweet body, cocoa and cedar
Available formats 1 lb or 5 lb; whole bean or coarse, drip and espresso grind

Brewing guidance

Try 20 g of coffee to 320 g of water at approximately 90–93°C. Use a medium grind for a paper-filter brew, wet the grounds evenly, and avoid extending the drawdown merely to make the cup stronger. If the finish is dry or harsh, try a slightly coarser grind before changing the dose.

For AeroPress, Black Powder’s own starting amounts are 16.5 g coffee and 250 g water. Use them as a separate recipe and adjust grind for your preferred contact time and pressing resistance.

Frequently asked questions

Is cedar an added flavor?

Cedar is a sensory reference in the tasting profile. The listing does not describe an added cedar flavoring or infusion.

What flavor profile should I expect?

Sweet body, cocoa and cedar. These are sensory descriptions; your brewing method and serving temperature affect their expression.

Which size and format should I choose?

1 lb or 5 lb; whole bean or coarse, drip and espresso grind. Select the grind that matches your brewer. Whole bean offers flexibility; a preground selection is ready for its intended method.

How can I adjust the cup’s strength?

Change the brew ratio if the flavor is balanced but the drink is too weak or too strong. Use slightly more coffee for greater concentration. Change grind size when the issue is extraction, such as sourness or a dry finish.

Can I compare it with another coffee?

Yes. Keep coffee dose, water amount and brewer consistent, and taste both at a similar temperature. That makes roast, body and acidity easier to compare without confusing them with different strengths.

How should I keep it fresh?

Keep the coffee sealed away from heat, light and moisture. Grind whole beans shortly before brewing. Choose a bag size that fits your consumption so repeated opening does not expose a large supply to air.

Compare and prepare

Compare the profile with Pegasus Italian Dark Roast Coffee, or browse the Specialty Coffee collection.

For the whole-bean option, a Turin DF54 grinder lets you adjust particle size between brews. Record the setting with your dose and water amount so the next cup is easier to repeat.

Great Service! It has been a few months since I purchased my machine, but I absolutely love it. Initially I had some issues with damage from shipping, but Joe took care of it immediately so there were no problems. He also stayed on the phone with me for a long time the day I received my machine so I could get everything working properly. I highly recommend!

Great customer service! Joe worked with me from purchasing a grinder to ultimately returning and changing to a different grinder. It’s a tough decision buying without seeing or using and the fact that a business is willing to work with their customers goes a long way with me. I would definitely recommend Joe and EspressoOutlet.
