This coffee’s roasted in our espresso style — but that doesn’t mean you need to brew it as espresso. You can make it however you like — espresso, filter, moka pot, AeroPress or whatever you enjoy. We roast it a touch darker than we would a filter roast to caramelise the sugars and bring out smooth chocolatey and nutty flavours that cut beautifully through milk.
When you add milk the natural sweetness, fat and proteins tend to soften acidity and highlight caramelised flavours. That’s why lighter filter roasts can sometimes taste a bit sharp or sour with milk — they’re simply not built for it. Espresso roasts being more developed balance this out. The deeper caramelisation creates toffee and cocoa notes that blend harmoniously with milk’s creaminess while a hint of gentle bitterness adds that satisfying ‘coffee punch’ in your flat white or cappuccino.
If you prefer your coffee black this roast will still give you a full-bodied rich cup with plenty of depth and sweetness. For a lighter fruitier experience you might enjoy exploring our filter range instead.
Origin and Sourcing
Varietal:
Mixed Variety
?
uses a variety of different beans to make a unique flavour.
Processing Method:
Washed
?
In the washed process, coffee cherries are depulped to remove the skin and pulp, then fermented to eliminate the mucilage before thorough washing. This method produces a clean, bright cup with pronounced acidity and clarity, highlighting the coffee’s intrinsic flavors. It’s widely used in regions with ample water resources, such as Colombia and East Africa.
Coffee Storage:
Standard Warehouse Storage
?
This coffee is stored in standard warehousing palletised under ambient conditions. Usually these coffees are in GrainPro bags to keep out moisture and protect beans. Suited for high-volume blends and economical Single Origins, frequent rotation ensures freshness.
Roast Details
Roast Style:
Espresso
?
Filter roasts are lighter with a shorter development time, designed to highlight clarity, acidity, and fruit-driven complexity — perfect for black coffee and filter methods. These roasts can also be used for espresso, especially if you enjoy brighter, more vibrant shots. Try longer brew ratios or turbo shots to tame acidity and bring out sweetness. Espresso roasts, on the other hand, are developed further to encourage deeper caramelization and Maillard reactions, producing richer, chocolatey, and nutty flavours that shine in milk and offer a fuller-bodied espresso.
We don't usually roast omni (one roast for all brew methods) — in our experience, it tends to be a compromise that's average at both. But occasionally, for larger lots or versatile blends, we may do an omni roast to suit both black and milk drinkers.
Roast Level:
Medium
?
This is a more accurate reflection of the actual roast level rather than internal & external colour readings and is based off roasting weight loss %. <11% is Nordic ultra-light; 11–13% is Light with balanced acidity and sweetness; 14–16.5% is Medium for rounded body and caramel; 16.5–18.5% is Dark for rich, chocolatey intensity; 18.5%+ is Starbucks/Italian for bold, smoky depth. Some would say the higher the %, the 'stronger' the coffee.
Roasting Weight Loss:
14.0%
?
Coffee roasting weight loss refers to the significant reduction in the mass of green coffee beans during the roasting process, typically ranging from 9% to 25% depending on the roast level. This phenomenon primarily occurs due to the evaporation of moisture, which constitutes about 9–13% of the bean's initial weight.
Internal Agtron:
74
?
This is a more accurate reflection of the actual roast colour than external as it's measured after grinding. Internal Agtron reveals how far into the bean the roast has penetrated. Our filter roasts often score over 100, preserving acidity, florals, and the unique vibrant characteristics of each origin and process. Please bear in mind that grind coarseness can affect the internal colour readings, so it is impossible to compare from roaster to roaster using this colour reading.
External Agtron:
65
?
This refers to the surface colour of the whole roasted bean, but it's not always a reliable indicator of roast level. Some of our most vibrant and lightly roasted coffees, like our Ecuadorian Sidra, may appear medium-dark (Agtron 50–60) due to their surface colour, yet are in fact light roasts with minimal development time. Surface colour can be affected by the original green colour, bean type, density, and moisture — so don't judge a bean by its exterior.
Agtron Spread:
9
?
The Agtron spread is the difference between the colour of whole beans and ground coffee, showing how deeply the coffee is developed. A spread of 0–10 usually indicates very dark, oily roasts typical of Italian-style, which we don't offer at our Roastery. Spreads between 11–20 and 21–30 represent the roast levels you'll find in our espresso coffees, balancing sweetness, acidity, and body. Spreads above 30 make up most of our filter coffee range, featuring very light, bright roasts that highlight fruity, floral, and complex flavours. Within this, spreads from 31–40 offer clarity and vibrancy, while spreads of 40–50 showcase ultra-light roasts with delicate acidity and nuanced character.
Micron Adjustment:
10
?
This shows how the recommended grind size for this coffee differs from our baseline Coastal Blend setting. A negative number means a finer grind is recommended; a positive number means coarser. It helps dial in your grinder without starting from scratch.
Roasted On Machine:
Loring S35 Kestrel
?
The Loring S35 Kestrel is a high-capacity, half-bag (up to 35 kg) gas coffee roaster renowned for its integrated afterburner that incinerates smoke inside the machine—eliminating the need for external emissions equipment—while achieving up to 80% fuel savings and reduced CO₂ output. Built in the USA from stainless steel under ISO 9001:2015 standards, it features a stationary drum with rotating paddles to tumble beans in a convection-dominant airflow for even roasting and flavor clarity. Its touchscreen PLC control lets users program and store roast profiles, monitor real-time curves, and automate hopper loading, bean discharge, and cooling operations—complete with water quench and high‑speed cooling tray paddles that finish the roast within minutes. Typical roast cycles range from 10–16 minutes, powered by natural or propane gas, and can accommodate loads as low as 7 kg up to the full 35 kg.
Taste Profile
Tasting Notes:
Dried Fruit, Hazelnut, Milk Chocolate
Suitable with Milk?
Yes
?
Some of our light roasted filter coffees are bursting with bright, fruity acidity — think citrus, berries, or tropical notes. While these flavours shine on their own, they don't always play well with milk. The acidity can clash with milk's natural sweetness and creaminess, sometimes creating sour or chalky flavours.

Legend Coffee Gossy Blend Espresso - When is peak flavour?
Medium Roast - Roasted on Loring S35 Kestrel
Product description
Components: 66% Andino, Colombia / 33% La Estrella, Nicaragua
Best brewed with milk, or as a more traditional, medium roast espresso.
It's straight outta Gosford. Built to be served primarily with milk, Gossy Good Times is just like the streets of its namesake, big, bold and straight up trouble. If you like your coffee a bit darker, with some jammy sweetness, this coffee is for you. Can also be served black if you're looking for a more traditional espresso experience.
As espresso, we'd aim for 21g of coffee, 44-46g of espresso and a 27-31 second extraction. She'll go down great on Stovetop or Plunger too.
