Australian Specialty, Comfortingly Familiar

Grown in Far North Queensland and roasted fresh in South Australia, Jack Murat — Mareeba delivers everything you want from an everyday coffee — chocolate richness, brown sugar sweetness and creamy nutty depth, finished with a soft citrus lift.

Origin Story

Produced by the Murat family in Mareeba on Queensland’s Atherton Tablelands, this coffee is a rare example of Australian-grown specialty coffee. The farm was originally established by Hymet “Jack” Murat, who immigrated from Albania to Australia in 1929 in search of opportunity. After decades of farming sugar cane, corn and tobacco, the family transformed the property into a specialty coffee farm in 2014.

Today, the estate is run by Hymet’s sons and grandsons, continuing a family legacy built on persistence, experimentation and craftsmanship. The farm grows Red and Yellow Catuai varieties originally sourced from Costa Rica as part of an Australian government initiative exploring coffee cultivation in tropical regions.

Mareeba’s unique high-latitude climate, warm days and cool tropical nights help slow cherry development and build sweetness and balance in the cup. Combined with the region’s sand and clay loam soils, the result is a clean, approachable coffee designed for everyday drinking — smooth, comforting and highly versatile.

Brewing Notes

Designed for espresso and milk coffee. Best enjoyed as a flat white, latte, cappuccino or balanced espresso with a rich mouthfeel and low acidity.

Recommended espresso recipe: 22g in, 43g out, around 28–32 seconds. A slightly tighter yield helps emphasise sweetness, body and creamy texture while keeping acidity soft and balanced.

At Elusive Coffee, we source coffees that balance traceability, drinkability and craftsmanship. This release celebrates Australian-grown specialty coffee and the dedication of the Murat family to producing clean, approachable coffees with exceptional consistency and sweetness.

A uniquely Australian coffee roasted for everyday enjoyment.

Filter Coffee Brewing Guide (V60, Chemex, etc.)

Filter coffee offers a clean, smooth, and balanced cup that highlights the subtleties of the beans. Whether you’re using a V60, Chemex, or any other pour-over method, this brewing process allows the coffee’s natural flavors to shine, delivering a lighter yet full-bodied experience.

Below is our standard receipe for V60

Brewing Instructions:

  • 17:1 Ratio
  • Coffee Dose: 17.6of freshly ground coffee.
  • Water: 300g of water, heated to around 93°C (200°F).

Pouring Method:

  1. First Pour: Start with 60g of water for the bloom. Let it sit for around 30-45 seconds to release the gases.
  2. Second Pour: Add another 60g of water and wait.
  3. Final Pours: Continue with three pours of 60g each, waiting for the water to draw down between pours.

This 5-pour method ensures even extraction, enhancing the clarity and depth of your brew, while allowing the flavors to fully develop for a perfect cup of filter coffee.

Espresso Coffee Brewing Guide (Espresso, Long Black)

Espresso offers a smooth, rich, and bold flavor profile, perfect for those who enjoy the concentrated intensity of a traditional shot. Whether you’re savoring it as a solo espresso or as a balanced long black, this brewing method brings out the coffee’s depth, body, and natural sweetness.

Brewing Instructions

  • Coffee Dose: 18g of freshly ground coffee.
  • Yield: 36-40g (2:1 ratio).
  • Extraction Time: Aim for 25-35 seconds.
  • Best Age: For optimal flavor, use 14 days after roasting.

Brewing Method

Grind and Dose:

  • Use a fine grind size suitable for espresso machines.
  • Weigh out 18g of coffee for consistency.

Tamp and Prep:

  • Distribute the coffee evenly in the portafilter.
  • Tamp firmly and evenly to ensure uniform extraction.

Extraction:

  • Start the espresso shot and aim for a yield of 36-40g.
  • Adjust your grind or extraction time to fall within the 25-35 second range.

Serve:

  • Enjoy as a traditional espresso shot for an intense, bold flavor.
  • Or, add hot water for a long black to experience a balanced and flavorful brew.

By following this method, you’ll unlock the full potential of your coffee, delivering a consistent and exceptional espresso experience with every shot.

Moka Pot Brewing Guide

The Moka Pot offers a bold, rich, and espresso-like brew that highlights the deep, intense flavors of your coffee. This method is perfect for those who enjoy a strong, full-bodied cup, bringing out chocolatey, nutty, and smooth flavor notes with every brew.

Brewing Instructions

  • Coffee Dose: 20g of finely ground coffee (slightly coarser than espresso grind).
  • Water: Fill the bottom chamber of the Moka Pot up to just below the safety valve.

Brewing Method

Grind the Coffee:

  • Use a fine grind size, slightly coarser than espresso, to avoid over-extraction.

Prepare the Moka Pot:

  • Fill the bottom chamber with water, ensuring it does not go above the safety valve.
  • Insert the filter basket into the chamber.

Add Coffee:

  • Add 20g of ground coffee to the filter basket.
  • Level the surface gently but do not tamp the coffee down.

Assemble the Moka Pot:

  • Screw the top and bottom chambers together securely to ensure proper pressure during brewing.

Heat:

  • Place the Moka Pot on medium heat. Avoid high heat to ensure even brewing.
  • As the water heats, it creates pressure that forces the water through the coffee grounds into the top chamber.

Watch for the Brew:

  • When you see coffee flowing into the top chamber and hear a hissing sound, the brewing process is nearly complete.

Remove from Heat:

  • As soon as you hear a bubbling sound, remove the Moka Pot from the heat to prevent burning the coffee.

Serve:

  • Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your cup and enjoy the bold, full-bodied flavor of a perfectly brewed Moka Pot coffee.

By following these steps, you’ll consistently achieve a rich, flavorful brew that showcases the unique qualities of your coffee. Let me know if you'd like further refinements! 🚀

Coffee of the year!

I’ve tried a dozen different coffees this year and I think this is my favourite. Big fan of the natural fermentation and this doesn’t disappoint. This a great single origin and won’t break the bank. I haven’t met someone who hasn’t enjoyed this when I’ve had them over.
