Badger and Dodo best selling coffee blend
Originally developed in 2009, the Blackwater Blend is our most popular cafe blend Nationwide. 100% Arabica & Rainforest alliance certified.
All beans roasted separately before blending. Light to medium roasted on average.
This is a seasonally managed blend, that is, from time to time it will vary slightly … we can’t tell the sun to shine and the rain to fall when and where, but in the main it will be lush, smooth and sweet body with a delicate but evident acidity.
Never burnt or charred. Easy espresso, soft & sweet in milk.
Recommended dial-in as follows:
18g at 28 seconds on espresso to yield 40 grams double shot
60g/L, 90deg, 2:30 infusion is plenty in any brew or filter device ©

Have been using this blend for the last 6 months, it’s so smooth and nothing compares to it.

This feels like ‘original is best’ – what I started drinking in a cafe. Still my ‘go to’ when I am topping up my roasters choice subscription

This is a really balanced flavorful bean that works wonderfully as a universal coffee. I like really strong flavorful coffee while my mom likes lighter blends and this works for both of us.

Switched to B&D 6 months ago and haven’t looked back. Lovely blend, gave a few bags as presents and loved by all.

Once you’ve tried Badger and Dodo Blackwater, you won’t want another coffee. Other coffees almost hit the spot, but this coffee brings joy with every cup.

Can’t go wrong with this blend, really enjoy it and can always go back to it when I need a good cup of coffee. Versatile as straight espresso, brewed in a French press, or as a latte or flat white, works every way! Five stars!
