MORNING BLEND

$61.50

Our Signature House Blend

Morning Blend fuels Northland before most people have found their socks. It’s the first cup poured in cafés, kitchens, and workplaces up and down the country — the one you reach for when the day’s got opinions and you need to form some of your own.


This is comfort with backbone. Big, full-bodied flavour. Smooth cocoa, toasted nuts, and a rich finish that sticks around longer than your neighbour’s weekend yarns. It plays beautifully with milk, holds its own black, and never asks you to overthink it.


Built from five origins, each roasted separately so nothing gets lost, then blended with intent to land exactly where it should — bold but smooth, familiar but far from boring. The kind of coffee you drink every day and still look forward to.


If coffee’s a habit, this is the one that made it that way.

The Geeky Stuff

Origins

We’ve all got an accent, yeah? Coffee’s no different.

Different origins mean different climates, soils, and growing conditions, and all of that quietly shapes flavour long before roasting ever begins. It’s why coffee from Brazil tastes different to coffee from Ethiopia, even if you brew them the same way.

Single origins show off one place and its personality. Blends bring multiple origins together to create balance, consistency, and a very intentional result.

Think of origin as the coffee’s home turf. You can take the bean out of the ground, but you can’t take the ground out of the bean.


This one is from:

Brazil
Colombia
Honduras
Timor
Sumatran Mandheling

Processes

Processing is what happens to the coffee cherry after it’s picked — basically how the fruit gets taken off the bean before drying. Same bean, very different outcomes depending on how it’s treated.

Washed coffees have the fruit fully removed early on. They tend to be clean, bright, and tidy — flavours show up clearly and don’t muck about.

Natural coffees dry with the fruit still on. That extra time usually brings more sweetness, a fuller body, and bolder, fruit-forward flavours.

Honey processing sits somewhere in the middle — some fruit removed, some left on — giving a balance of clarity and richness.

Think of processing as the bean’s finishing school. Same genetics, same farm — but how it’s handled along the way makes a big difference to how it turns out in the cup.

This one's process is:

A mixture of natural, washed and semi-washed.

Varietals

Varietal is simply the type of coffee plant — the genetics it starts with before growing, processing, or roasting come into play.

Different varietals grow differently and bring different personalities to the cup. Some are bright and lively, some are sturdy and comforting, others are a bit high-maintenance. Same region, same conditions — totally different behaviour.

You’ll see names like Bourbon, Typica, or Caturra pop up. They don’t lock in flavour, but they do set the tone — a bit like knowing whether you’re dealing with a racehorse, a stubborn mule, or a trusty old ute.

Built different, right from the paddock.

In this one you'll find:

Bourbon, Catuai, Icatu, Mundo Nova, Typica, Caturra, Timor Hybrid, Red Leaf Typica

Altitude

As a rule of thumb, beans raised at higher altitude tend to come out tastier.

Up high, the air’s cooler and the coffee cherries grow slow. Like no rush, watch the weather, take the long way home slow. That extra time lets the beans get denser and build more flavour, which usually shows up as brighter acidity, fruitier notes, and a cup that just hits different.

Most of the magic happens between about 1,200 and 1,850 metres above sea level. Lower-grown coffees are more easygoing — softer, earthier, happy to cruise. Still good company, just not buzzing with hill-country energy.

Same plant. Different upbringing. One’s had a few more character-building moments.

This one grew at:

900 - 1900 MASL

Tasting Notes

Tasting notes are our way of setting the scene before you go all in. They bundle up flavour, body, acidity, and finish into a few words — the same way a bottle of red might promise dark fruit and spice before you’ve even pulled the cork. Coffee shifts depending on how you brew it, how you hold your tongue, and how fresh the beans were when they met the grinder. This is simply how the coffee shows up for us when it’s behaving at its best. Think of them like wine notes — suggestive, not bossy.

This one tastes like:

Chocolate, toasted nut, full bodied goodness

Roast

This is where we decide what kind of glow-up the bean gets.

Think of it like cooking — because, well, it is. Take things off early and you keep brightness and edge. Leave them on longer and flavours deepen, round out, and start leaning towards chocolate, caramel, and toastier territory.

Lighter roasts keep things lively — higher acidity, clearer flavours, more zip.

Medium roasts let sweetness and body settle in, smoothing the edges without losing detail.

Darker roasts push flavour further — richer, heavier, and more dominant in the cup.

There’s no right level, just different outcomes. Where you stop roasting decides whether a coffee tastes bright, smooth, or bold — and that choice shows up immediately when you drink it.

About us

Every Batch Matters

Each roast runs the full Max gauntlet — taste tested like it’s gunning for MasterChef NZ and judged harder than your cousin’s new boyfriend at Sunday lunch.

Only the tasty make the cut.

100% Arabica, specialty-grade goodness — roasted right.

Coffee’s About Connection

Max is basically a group project — but one where everyone actually does the work.

We’re talking farmers, roasters, café crews, and the bleary-eyed legends brewing at home in their pyjamas. We stay in touch, check in, show up, and occasionally over-commit to latte art throwdowns.

We believe in trust, decent yarns, and supporting our mates — because great coffee doesn’t happen in a vacuum (unless you’re storing beans, then yeah, vacuum-seal away).

Made To Fuel Better Days

We’re not saying coffee solves everything… but it definitely helps.

We roast for mornings that start sideways, meetings that should’ve been emails, and to keep the vibe alive when the vibe wants to clock out.

Every batch gets roasted with care, big energy, and a quiet belief that coffee makes the world a little bit better. One cup at a time.
