No Bitter Aftertaste
Roasted In Sydney

Our most merciless blend yet. Bound to make your bones rattle.

Forget everything you think you know about coffee. Darkerside is a different beast. This is for those who crave a jolt so powerful it borders on dangerous. Expect a full-bodied flavour explosion, a caffeine kick that'll leave you buzzing, and a smooth aftertaste that lingers, daring you for another sip. For those who scoff at "strong" blends and demand something that bites back.

Roasted to the absolute limit, this blend is pure liquid insanity. Dark, intense, and strong enough to kickstart a coma patient, one sip and you'll be questioning your life choices (but damn, will you be awake).

SERIOUSLY STRONG & BITTER-FREE: Ever had a so-called "strong" coffee that tasted like a bitter mess? You'll never get that from us. We’ve spent years mastering the fire, wielding our state-of-the-art roastery like a culinary flamethrower, pushing the limits to draw out intense flavour with none of that ashy bitterness. For those who demand a caffeine kick and refuse to sacrifice taste.
PREMIUM QUALITY: Straight from our independently-owned Sydney roastery since 2014. We started with a drive for expertly roasted, seriously good brews in the world of specialty coffee. That expertise hasn't gone anywhere so you know we don't do half measures - this is really strong coffee, and it's also really good, really tasty coffee.
AUSTRALIA'S FAVOURITE MORNING WAKE-UP: And we've got a whole army of caffeine-fueled rebels out there proving it. Grinders and crushers, adventurers and creators, all united by our love of strong coffee and our refusal to settle for less. Ready to live life on full throttle?

Not quite your jam? We've got capsules, drip coffee bags, coffee concentrate and other ways to fuel your hustle here .

Strong Yet Bitter-Free

Seriously strong, minus the bitter taste. We roast with precision, unlocking a real kick to the tastebuds along with rich bold flavour that'll make your morning.

Coffee Questions

The stuff people ask us most about our coffee.

We roast your coffee and send it out within three days. Every bag has a best before date printed on it, so you always know exactly how fresh it is.
Got a grinder? Go whole beans and grind just before you brew for the boldest cup. No grinder? Pick Ground Espresso for espresso machines, moka pots and AeroPress, or Ground Plunger for plungers, cold brew and pour-over.
Keep the bag sealed tight in a cool, dry, dark cupboard. Skip the fridge and freezer: moisture and smells get in and kill the flavour.
Industrial Strength and Darkerside pack around 180mg of caffeine per 100ml, about 3x the average coffee. Medium Roast sits closer to an average cup, around 60mg per 100ml, with the same bold, bitter-free flavour. Need more? Meet Blackout.
Not ours. We've spent years mastering the roast to pull out serious strength and full-on flavour, without the ashy bitterness that plagues lesser brews.

My favourite start to the day! Strong and smooth, perfect cappuccino!

Honestly the best coffee ever!!! This is the way 🫶🏻🫶🏻💫💫⚔️⚔️❤️❤️

Taste is fantastic 😋

It is the best coffee ever

I started recently drinking Instant coffee, and with my new daily routine of having one each morning my partner thought it would be a great idea to get a coffee machine, you need beans for a coffee machine, and in Woolies stood out this Black, gnarly bag of beans which smelt incredible… fast forward over a month to present day, where I have been having over triple shots everyday, only to find out here, on this website, not even 10mins ago that this is some STRONG stuff… coming from a person that didn’t drink coffee and thought the stronger it is, the more bitter it is, this bag of beans made me think I was drinking some regular strength coffee….. I’m surprised I haven’t had a heart attack… great stuff! I might have to try medium roast next though!

This is a fantastic coffee for the serious coffee drinker

The only coffee I drink anymore. Not just the best tasting, but the best value for money

I have been a loyal Killer Coffee customer for a number of years. My family including my barista trained son love ths coffee so much.

Just good coffee

Simply the best coffee beans you can have in your home for a smooth, strong coffee. The amazing aroma from the beans gets the blood flowing before your first sip.

awesome coffee, repeat buyers

I recommend buying this coffee.

This coffee is now my favourite.

The best coffee we have ever had for our coffee machine at home. Beans are now on a subscription. Morning can’t come soon enough for my wife and I. Just an outstanding blend.

We love it!

Always amazing

not as good as industrial beans 🫘🫘

The best coffee getting around, highly recommend!

great coffee

The costant pleasure in our lives never ceases to impress we atr lifers love this brand 🙏🙏🙏

Love Killer Coffee, always on point, no matter what format

Great flavour
help with wake up early in the morning

this coffee is the reason I now drink coffee. there is no bitter after taste and it is very smooth

The Darkerside coffee is the best coffee ever. I first tasted it way back before 2019 when I could buy it from the local IGA and I still rate it the number 1 coffee of my choice

The only coffee I need to wake me up and get me moving.

Plenty of oomph for the money. Very forgiving when using own grinder and espresso machine. Since using KC I haven’t made a bad coffee

I have been drinking this coffee for the past 5 years and I have also tried the industrial and the new blackout as well and have really enjoyed them

Love love love it

This is the only coffee that can get me motivated in the morning.

Love this coffee great taste and nice and strong

Definitely the favourite in our household. No coffee can compare to this brew at home in our Delongi machine. Hands down, best coffee.
