Our Coffee Blends Selection
Our coffee blends are where flavour and balance come together. Each one has just the right amount of acidity, boldness, and body, locally roasted in Tasmania in small batches to ensure a cup that is smooth, consistent and full of character.
The Cheeky Devil’s coffee blends are a mix of Brazilian, Colombian, and Ethiopian beans. They extract the best of each origin into a flavour that is, like its name, blended from the best of its parts.
What Are Coffee Blends?
A coffee blend is made by mixing beans from two or more origins. Each region offers something different: body, acidity, sweetness, or depth. When you blend coffee thoughtfully, you create a flavour profile that’s more balanced and complex than any one bean could give on its own.
Some blends are designed for milk-based drinks like flat whites or cappuccinos, while others shine as a long black or espresso. The point isn’t to mask flavours, but to highlight the best traits from each origin. Think of it like a band: each bean has its own role, but together they make something richer and fuller.
Naughty Nathan, Our Medium Dark Roast Blend
Nathan’s a little bold, a little rich, and a total crowd-pleaser. This medium-dark roast coffee blend brings together Colombian, Brazilian, and high-altitude Ethiopian beans. It’s full-bodied with chocolate undertones, and when brewed as an espresso, it creates a velvety crema that holds up beautifully in milk. Naughty Nathan is smooth and strong, the kind of brew that says, “You’ve got this” first thing in the morning.
Sammy’s Secret, Our Medium Roast Blend
Sammy’s Secret is softer, fruitier, and quietly complex. Inspired by the deep love of a daughter, this medium roast blend layers Brazilian Arabica with sweet Colombian and floral Ethiopian beans. It’s forgiving and flexible, just as lovely through a plunger as it is through an espresso machine.
Why Choose To Buy A Coffee Blend?
Blending coffee beans gives us the freedom to fine-tune flavour. You get the consistency of your favourite cup, every time, with none of the guesswork. Single origins are beautiful in their own right, but blends allow us to balance the bright with the bold, the sweet with the strong.
Blends are also more adaptable. They tend to perform better across multiple brewing methods, and they’re sometimes more affordable too, without sacrificing quality. At Cheeky Devil, each blend is tested across machines, plungers, and filters so you know it’ll hold up, no matter how you brew.
Best Brewing Methods
- Espresso machine: Naughty Nathan was made for this. Expect a thick crema, deep body, and bold flavour, especially when paired with milk.
- Plunger (French press): Sammy’s Secret shines here. The medium roast brings out delicate notes without getting bitter.
- Stovetop / Moka pot: Both blends hold their own. Nathan delivers a punch; Sammy leans smooth.
- Filter / Pour over: Go for Sammy’s Secret. The Brazilian and Ethiopian combo creates a clean, layered brew.
- AeroPress: Choose a fine grind and short brew time for a full-flavoured cup without harshness.
Our Roasting Principles
We roast in small batches because we believe coffee blends deserve attention to detail. Mass-produced coffee often means uneven roasts and stale beans sitting around too long. That’s not how we do things.
Each batch is roasted locally in Tasmania, with a watchful eye on development and consistency. We source our green beans from farms and co-operatives that care about their land, their people, and their product. Our goal? To bring out the natural character of each origin while making sure they play well together.
FAQs
Are coffee blends healthy?
Absolutely. Blended coffee is just as healthy as single-origin coffee. It really depends on the quality of the beans and how they’re roasted.
Coffee blends or single-origins? Which one should I choose?
It depends on what you like. If you enjoy trying different notes and experimenting with flavour, single-origin might be your jam. But if you’re after consistency, balance, and a solid go-to cup every morning, a blended coffee like Naughty Nathan or Sammy’s Secret is a great choice.
How to make the perfect blend coffee?
It starts with good beans. Fresh, ethically sourced coffee like Naughty Nathan or Sammy’s Secret gives you the best base to work with. Pick the right grind for your brew method, use clean, filtered water, and make sure your equipment is well looked after. A clean setup makes a big difference to the taste. Then, just brew, taste, and adjust. Everyone likes their coffee a little different, so take the time to find what works for you.
Why do small batches of coffee blends matter?
Because it lets us give each roast the attention it deserves. When we roast in small amounts, we can get the timing and flavour just right. It also means the coffee goes into the bag while it’s still fresh, so you get that full, rich taste every time you brew.
