There’s something magical about the first sip of coffee in the morning. It’s a ritual, a pause, a moment of stillness before the world begins to spin. At Black Opal Coffee, we believe that this daily experience deserves more than just a caffeine hit; it deserves beauty, balance, and bold character. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to craft coffee that captures the rare and luxurious essence of its namesake gemstone: the Black Opal.





A Journey That Begins with Quality

Our journey starts at the source. We work with farmers across the globe who are passionate about their craft, from the lush hills of Colombia to the rich volcanic soils of Ethiopia and beyond. Each bean we select is specialty-grade, ethically sourced, and carefully roasted in small batches right here in Melbourne, Australia.

We roast to unlock each bean’s natural complexity, bringing out notes of chocolate, caramel, florals, and fruits in ways that feel both powerful and elegant.


Our Signature Blends & Single Origins

At Black Opal Coffee, we curate a select range of blends and single origins to suit every palate and occasion. Some of our customer favourites include:

  • Lightning Ridge – Our bold house blend, rich and velvety, designed to deliver a powerful espresso with golden crema. Named after Australia’s famous opal region.

  • Matterhorn – A smooth, Swiss Water Process decaf that doesn’t compromise on taste. Ideal for those who want the coffee experience without the buzz.

  • Ciudad Perdida – A single origin from Colombia, offering vibrant acidity and silky mouthfeel, inspired by the lost city in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

  • Axum Obelisk – This Ethiopian gem is full of floral and tea-like notes, evoking the ancient elegance of its namesake.

  • Taj Mahal – A robust Indian coffee that balances spice and intensity, honouring the enduring beauty of one of the world’s greatest icons.

  • Redentor – Grown in Brazil’s Mantiqueira Mountains, this coffee is soft, sweet, and approachable, perfect for a morning pour-over.


Each of our pouches is artistically designed, marked with a roast date, and sealed with airtight zippers to preserve peak freshness. And because we care about flavour integrity, we never pre-grind. Freshly ground coffee only stays at its best for seconds, we let you be the final craftsman.


The Black Opal Standard: Quality Over Quantity

Unlike mass-produced brands, we don’t cut corners. We roast in small batches, cup rigorously, and go the extra mile to fine-tune every profile. If it doesn’t make us proud, it doesn’t leave our roastery. Our motto is simple: extract the spirit of each gem into your cup.


Rooted in Australia, Inspired by the World

We’re proud to be an Australian-owned and operated business, roasting in Melbourne and reflecting Australian creativity in every design and detail. From the artwork on our bags to the care in our brews, everything we do is driven by a love for storytelling, culture, and coffee.
