Ready @RistrettoPerth - Father’s Day coffee

We’re really pleased to offer our Ristretto Custom Blend coffee, now with fresh newly arrived Ethiopian Sidamo componet, just in time for this Farther’s Day weekend. Additional fresh stocks are out at both locations from today and ready from now and across Thursday and Friday.

Tasting Ristretto Custom Blend as we write here’s some taste notes - expect these in your cups at Howard Street Coffee and Ristretoo 160 Central arcade too…

Milk: Creamy nut and chocolate with a dark rich moussey character and sweet sugary berry finish.

Black: Nice clean dark chocolate, some nutty creaminess, wet berry mouthfeel and flavours into the finish. 

We always cherish the arrival of new season coffees. This just in Operation Cherry Red coffee from Sidama in Ehtiopia is tasting great! It’s specially picked and prepared coffee rich in fruit and berry flavour, a little winey and a little rummy with good sugars and acidity. It works fantastically with milk and as a black there is an abundance of flavour. We are finding some espresso shots a little rummy too. Great cup!

Getting started or back into it?! Need a little assistance with your coffee or a few preparation and making tips? Feel free to ask your baristas at Ristretto and Howard Street coffee.

We also have a limited quality of coffee brewing equipment and supplies including Aeropress and Hario V60s. Complete kits with coffee start at $60.

Have a great Father’s Day/ Weekend!
