Questions before your first cup
Why choose Noir?
Noir is the fuller-bodied VUXO blend, created to work especially well in milk coffee.
Is Noir bitter?
It is described as full-bodied and smooth. The grind and brewing method can affect perceived bitterness.
Which grind should I choose?
Choose the grind to suit your brewer. Espresso ground works for espresso machines; whole bean gives you the flexibility to grind fresh.
Can I mix blends in my box?
Yes, the selector lets you choose a blend and grind for each bag.

VUXO / Coffee no. 03
Noir holds its own.
A full-bodied blend made to stand up to milk — and still taste like something when you drink it black.
Why Noir exists
Can a dark coffee be bold without becoming flat?
We wanted the opposite: full-bodied and smooth, with something alive underneath.
Dark roasts are easy to make bold and hard to make beautiful. Push too far and everything flattens into one heavy note.
So we built the darkness in layers — body first, then a small spark to keep it open.
The blend architecture
Three origins, each with a job.
Two dark-leaning foundations create the weight. One medium-roast spark keeps the depth from closing in.
The body
Dark roast · earthyEarthy depth that deepens the base and lets the cup hold its character, even against milk.
The spark
Medium roast · unwashedA thread of natural sweetness and complexity — the small part that keeps the darkness alive.
The considered details
Dark, but not one-note.
Noir is built for the everyday cup that needs presence — with milk, without milk and everything around it.
Rich without harshness.
The dark roasts build the body while the medium-roast Ethiopian keeps the blend interesting, smooth and open.
Full without heaviness.
A coffee that holds its own under milk and still rewards you when the cup is poured black.
Built to brew boldly.
Bold enough for rich flavours, smooth enough to soften them. Pair it with dark chocolate, chocolate biscotti or aged cheese.
Composition
Three, by name and by design.
Three origins that lean into weight and depth rather than acidity — with one spark keeping the blend from going flat.
