Darkstar Coffee

Darkstar Coffee Darkstar Experience Lab Hours:
Monday - Friday 6:00AM - 2:30PM
Saturday 7:00AM - 1:30PM Darkstar Coffee is a 'specialty coffee' roaster.

This means is that our coffee is sourced from specialty growers from around the world, proven to produce an exceptional product with very few defects. Specialty coffee describes not just the coffee bean, but the entire process from soil to cup. From soil to cup:

Specialty beans are grown by experienced farmers taking advantage of microclimates and other environmental factors specific to their reg

ion. They work to produce a high quality cherry coffee bean, which is then picked at the optimum time. After any initial processing or washing, the green beans then pass through a regulated chain of custody to the coffee roaster. Obviously, the fewer agents in this chain of custody the better. Makin’ the grade:

To qualify as specialty coffee in the 'green' stage, the beans have to score more than 80/100 across all categories. The beans must be properly sized and dried and free of primary defects, with no quakers (unripe beans). Once we get the beans, we use profile roasting techniques to unlock their full potential. This ensures the coffee presents in the cup free of faults and taints and has distinctive attributes. A global standard:

'Specialty coffee' is a mark of quality, meeting globally recognised standards of excellence throughout the supply chain - from the farmer to you.

An insight into roasting coffee with Tim, our Head Roaster ☕️

What’s Tim’s favourite thing about coffee roasting? And his least favourite?

For Tim, it’s all about the specialty coffee, having a bit of fun with the process and constantly striving for perfection.

There’s always something to learn, tweak and improve, with the goal of making every roast just a little better than the last.

Blend or Single Origin? What’s the difference? ☕️

It mostly comes down to how the coffee is sourced and what you’re looking for in the cup.

Single origin coffee comes from one specific origin, allowing the unique flavours and characteristics of that place to really shine.

Blends bring coffees from different origins together to create a particular flavour profile, balance and consistency.

So, what’s each one best for?

Blends → balanced, consistent and great for milk based coffees like flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos.

Single origins → perfect for exploring different flavour profiles, especially if you enjoy drinking your coffee black.

Neither is better, they’re just different ways of approaching coffee.

Which one are you reaching for? 👀

“I don’t need anything for Father’s Day.”

We’ve heard that one before.

But if Dad loves his coffee, we think he’ll be pretty happy with anything coffee related.

A bag of his favourite blend, some new brewing gear, barista training or a gift card for a coffee together.

Whatever you choose, you can’t go too wrong ☕️

Pop into Darkstar and we’ll help you choose the perfect Father’s Day gift.

Home Coffee Equipment Series: Part 2 ☕️

If you’re upgrading your home coffee setup for the first time, where should you actually start?

For us, we’d recommend keeping it simple. Start with a single dose grinder, then invest in good quality coffee before upgrading your machine.

Once you’ve got those sorted, a heat exchange coffee machine is a great next step for your setup, giving you the ability to brew espresso and steam milk at home.

It’s easy to get caught up in all the different equipment options, but you don’t need to upgrade everything at once. Start with the essentials and build from there.

Want to explore your options? Come by our Osborne Park showroom and chat with the team about what setup is right for you.

These are the people behind Darkstar. ☕️

Darkstar has always been about more than coffee.

It’s the people who care about getting the roast just right. The baristas who want to make your morning a little better. The team who are constantly learning, tasting, tweaking and trying to do things better.

Being family owned means something to us. It’s meant building a team that genuinely cares about what we do and the people we do it for.

From the roastery to the cafe, the showroom to the warehouse, there’s a lot of passion, knowledge and very good coffee behind every cup.

And that’s what makes Darkstar 🤎

A family of coffee people, doing what they love and sharing it with you.

Introducing our latest single origin from Diofanor Ruiz at La Divisa in Buenavista, Quindío, Colombia.

This exceptional Java microlot is intensely aromatic and fruit-forward, with vibrant blueberry sweetness, bright acidity and delicate floral notes. As it cools, deeper sweetness develops, finishing with a rich, silky body and plenty of complexity.

Java is a particularly exciting variety, tracing its genetic roots back to Ethiopia. Diofanor first planted the variety at La Divisa in 2022, making this its first harvest after three years of careful cultivation.

Grown at 2,000 MASL and naturally processed, this is a beautifully expressive representation of Java.

Available now.

An insight into roasting coffee with Tim, our Head Roaster ☕️

Roasting is where we bring out the potential in every coffee.

It’s not just about putting beans through a roaster. It’s about understanding each coffee, refining the roast and making sure we’re consistently bringing out the best qualities in every batch.

For us, quality and consistency go hand in hand. It’s our responsibility to make sure that every coffee we put into your hands meets the standard we expect from ourselves.

Because behind every cup is a lot of care, precision and attention to detail.

Home Coffee Equipment series: Part 1 ☕️

We’re answering some of the most common questions and thoughts you might have when upgrading your home coffee setup.

Your grinder plays a huge role in the quality and consistency of your coffee. A good grinder gives you more control over your grind size, which means you can dial in your coffee properly and get the most out of your beans.

You can have an amazing machine, but if your grinder isn’t up to scratch, you’re already working with a disadvantage.

So if you’re deciding where to spend your money first, start with the grinder.

Want to explore your options? Come by our Osborne Park showroom and check out our range of grinders in person.

Meet The Blend ☕ 

This coffee is a vibrant microlot from the highlands of Marcala, Honduras, grown by Roger Antonio Domínguez Márquez. Using an anaerobic natural process, the coffee develops a juicy, fruit forward profile with notes of stewed peach, pineapple and chocolate mousse, balanced by a smooth, syrupy finish.

Every step, from careful harvesting to slow drying has been thoughtfully managed to bring out the best in the coffee, resulting in a cup that’s expressive, balanced and full of character.

Whether you’re already a fan of single origins or looking to try something new, this is one worth adding to your brew bar.

Available now at Darkstar.
