FAQs

What is Gateway and why is it called that?

Gateway is exactly what it sounds like. An invitation. A first step into the world of specialty coffee and everything it can be. Built with intention, it opens the door to flavour, balance and possibility, without asking too much from you. Just curiosity.

What does Gateway taste like?

Gateway brings together blueberry and mixed berry sweetness with a deeper chocolate base, creating a profile reminiscent of a rich, indulgent dessert. Think black forest cake — layered, comforting and satisfying, with a balance that keeps it approachable.

What kind of experience can I expect from Gateway?

It’s a more chocolate-driven and structured cup, where berry notes add lift rather than dominate. The result is a coffee that feels indulgent and full, with enough intensity to be memorable while remaining balanced and easy to enjoy every day.

What makes the flavour profile of Gateway Coffee beans unique?

Gateway Coffee is crafted from coffee beans with notes of chocolate truffle and mixed berries, offering a sweet, creamy profile that’s approachable yet complex. If you want to compare different taste profiles, explore more blends in our coffee collection.

How does the chocolate truffle note work in milk-based drinks?

Milk enhances the chocolate truffle richness, creating a smooth, indulgent cup — one reason Gateway is among our best coffee blends for milk-based drinks.

Do the mixed berry flavours still come through with milk?

Yes. Milk softens the fruitiness, but the berry notes remain, adding balance and brightness to the chocolate-heavy profile.

Which milk-based styles bring out the flavours best?

For the most balanced expression, Gateway shines in flat whites and cappuccinos, where steamed milk supports the chocolate while allowing the berry undertones to peek through. Lattes deliver a softer, sweeter profile, while cortados and macchiatos give the berry notes a bolder role. 

Are the beans roasted to balance sweetness and acidity?

Absolutely. Gateway is roasted in a milk-based roast profile, meaning it's roasted to retain sweetness and structure even when paired with milk. The careful roast development ensures the chocolate truffle depth remains intact, while the berry acidity adds lift without becoming overpowering. 

Can Gateway be enjoyed without milk?

Absolutely. In espresso or long black, the cocoa notes become deeper and the berry flavours brighter. See our brew guides for recommended brewing and drinking methods, or try our drip bag range for convenience.
