Midnight Oil Seasonal Espresso Blend

Midnight Oil is our modern ode to the classic Australian espresso blend—reimagined for the contemporary coffee drinker. This medium roast coffee is a decadent, seasonally rotating blend designed to capture what’s tasting best throughout the year. Expect rich notes of milk chocolate and fudge, layered with subtle stewed fruits and a sugary sweetness that lingers on the palate. Whether you’re brewing on a high-end setup or pulling shots on a simple home machine, Midnight Oil makes it effortlessly easy to achieve a consistently delicious cup.

Originally crafted as our house blend when we first took over Blue Sky, Midnight Oil quickly evolved into something more ambitious: a platform for showcasing single-origin grade coffees in a balanced, espresso-friendly format. At times, this blend has featured up to 50% of an 88-point washed Colombian—bringing genuine origin clarity and quality into a format that’s both approachable and versatile. The result is a coffee that shines black, offering vibrant sweetness and a syrupy texture, while still holding its own when paired with milk for a velvety, dessert-like experience.

This is fresh roasted coffee designed for flavor chasers—whether you're dialing in shots at home or pouring flat whites at a busy café. Midnight has become a barista favorite across Brisbane for its complexity, ease of extraction, and crowd-pleasing sweetness. It’s our go-to for home espresso and the default black coffee served in all our venues for a reason: it just works. If you're after a specialty espresso blend that balances comfort with flair, Midnight Oil is your dependable, flavor-forward daily driver. Everything about Midnight Oil is built to make exceptional coffee accessible at home. It’s our love letter to Brisbane coffee culture—fresh roasted, always seasonal, and unapologetically sweet.
