Di Pacci Coffee Co. — Light Roast — Espresso & Filter — 1kg
By The Bay Blend 1kg Light Roast Coffee Beans
Light, fruity and bright — a smooth, balanced light roast with floral citrus notes of bergamot, lime and orange, a berry-like acidity and a hint of milk-chocolate sweetness.
The By The Bay Blend is a meticulously crafted light roast that awakens the senses. It captures the essence of its origins — Colombia, Costa Rica and Kenya — for a bright, fruity, beautifully balanced cup. Vibrant floral citrus aromas of bergamot, lime and orange lead into a refreshing berry-like acidity, grounded by subtle nutty undertones and a gentle milk-chocolate sweetness.
The result is a smooth, syrupy body with hints of light cocoa — clean and expressive as filter or pour-over, lively and aromatic as espresso. By The Bay is a brighter, more delicate roast for drinkers who love fruit, florals and clarity in the cup.

By The Bay Blend Light Roast Coffee Beans — Common Questions
What does the By The Bay Blend taste like?
It's a light, fruity and bright light roast led by floral citrus — bergamot, lime and orange — with a refreshing berry-like acidity. Subtle nutty undertones and a hint of milk-chocolate sweetness round it out on a smooth, syrupy body with light cocoa.
Is By The Bay a strong coffee?
It's a light roast, so it's brighter and more delicate than a dark roast — fruity, floral and citrus-forward rather than heavy or intense. If you prefer maximum strength and body, the dark After Dark or full-bodied Hurricane blends suit better.
Is it better for espresso or filter?
Both, with different results. As filter or pour-over its floral citrus and berry acidity shine through cleanly; as espresso it makes a bright, lively, aromatic shot. A good espresso baseline is around 21–22g in for 40ml out over 30 seconds, then adjust to taste.
Where do the beans come from?
By The Bay blends beans from Colombia, Costa Rica and Kenya. Colombia brings smooth sweetness and balance, Costa Rica adds clarity and crisp acidity, and Kenya delivers the vibrant berry-like acidity and floral citrus character.
Can I get the beans pre-ground?
Yes. By The Bay ships as whole beans by default, with Turkish, espresso, paper filter, metal filter and French press grinds available as a special request at checkout. For the brightest, freshest cup we recommend whole beans, ground just before brewing.
How fresh are the beans, and how should I store them?
Di Pacci roasts to order, so your By The Bay Blend is freshly roasted before dispatch. Light roasts are excellent through filter from just a few days post-roast; for espresso, allow around 7–14 days. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place and use within 2–4 weeks of opening.
How does it compare to the other Di Pacci blends?
By The Bay is the brightest, fruitiest light roast in the range — citrus-forward and filter-friendly. Sydney Road is a sweeter, caramel-and-chocolate light roast; Elements is a rounder medium; and After Dark is a bold dark roast. Try the sample pack to compare.
