In the heart of Epping, Melbourne, a family-driven venture known as Melbourne Coffee Roasting Co. has been crafting coffee tales since 2009. Formerly recognized as Ambrosia Coffee Roasters, this family business believes that each cup of coffee narrates a story, and our journey begins with their Melbourne Cup blend.
Tasting Adventure:
Our first sip of the Melbourne Cup blend felt like a discovery – the first time we could genuinely identify the promised flavors. MCRC's (Melbourne Coffee Roasting Co.) unique approach involves categorizing their blends into four distinct flavour profiles, with Melbourne Cup leaning toward the lighter side, boasting notes of light spice and berries. The harmony struck with earthy tones of dark chocolate and caramel adds depth to the overall experience. However, it's the vibrant burst of berries that steals the spotlight, making the blend distinctly memorable. We were very impressed with how MCRC were able to promote the flavours of these beans so well - we tasted exactly what was advertised!

Roast Profile and Strength:
This medium-roast concoction, artfully blended by Melbourne Coffee Roasting Co., deserves applause. The Melbourne Cup blend proudly wears a strength level of 4 out of 5, striking a harmonious balance between invigorating and comforting. Crafted exclusively from 100% Arabica beans, it ensures a smooth and refined drinking experience.
Caffeine Kick:
For those who gauge their mornings by the caffeine jolt, Melbourne Cup offers a moderate pick-me-up. Rated at a medium level, it provides the ideal fuel for a productive day without the risk of caffeine overload (of course, depending on how many cups of coffee are consumed!).
Overall Verdict:
In our quest for the perfect cup, Melbourne Coffee Roasting Co.'s Melbourne Cup blend stands out. Its carefully curated blend of light spices, berries, dark chocolate, and caramel brings a symphony of flavours to the palate. While the strength might not satisfy the die-hard dark roast enthusiasts, it strikes a delightful balance for those seeking a nuanced and flavourful experience. Our overall rating? A solid 4 out of 5 cups.
