Why it's worth checking out
Otherside Coffee is a North Melbourne, Melbourne cafe with a strong focus on coffee to enjoy at home. Its online offering centres on roasted beans for making barista-style coffee, giving home brewers a way to use the brand beyond a visit to the venue.
The standout is Little Temperance, the signature blend described as bold, complex and noticeably bright. Other featured options include Swiss Water Decaf, Midnight Delight and Midnight Delight Chocolate, providing a choice beyond the house blend. Otherside also publishes brew guides for the Moccamaster, AeroPress and V60, which may be useful for anyone refining their home-brewing routine.
For regular coffee drinkers, the Coffee Club delivers freshly roasted beans from the roastery on a schedule chosen by the customer. The subscription can be adjusted, paused or cancelled, and includes discounts, free shipping on future orders and early access to limited-release coffees. Catering is another part of the business, with the website describing freshly prepared food packaged for delivery. With beans, subscriptions, brew guidance and catering available, Otherside suits home coffee drinkers, workplaces and groups organising food and coffee rather than visitors looking only for a one-off cafe stop.
