Key Points
- Single-origin coffee — from high-altitude estates in Guatemala (June–December roasting) and Colombia (December–June roasting)
- Hand-picked beans — only ripe berries selected by skilled harvesters
- Dark roast — smooth, medium-bodied, with smoky chocolate aroma
- Rainforest Alliance Certified beans from estate farms
- Sustainable processing — washed and mechanically dried via established techniques
- Pre-ground to a medium grind — suited to drip, syphon, and pour-over brewing methods
What It Is
This is French Kick in pre-ground format — Bulletproof®'s dark roast option. Same estate-sourced Arabica beans as the Original Bulletproof Coffee, taken to a dark roast profile for a deep, smoky flavour with less of the brightness of lighter roasts. No added ingredients — just coffee.
The dark roast is the boldest of the Bulletproof coffee line — darker than the Mentalist (medium-dark) and considerably darker than the Original (medium). If you like bold, French-style coffee, or want a robust base for milk drinks, this is the roast to pick.
If you prefer to grind your own beans, the same coffee is also available in whole bean format.
Sourcing
Where the beans come from: Bulletproof sources beans from estate farms in Guatemala and Colombia on a six-month rotation.
How the beans are picked: Hand-picked by experienced coffee harvesters who select only perfectly ripe berries.
How the beans are processed: Beans are sustainably washed and mechanically dried before being roasted to a dark profile.

Brewing Notes
The medium grind in this product is set up for:
- Drip coffee makers — ideal grind (dark roast makes a bolder drip cup)
- Syphon brewing — ideal grind
- Pour over — works well
- Moka pots — works well (the dark roast pairs nicely with the moka pot’s intense extraction)
For AeroPress, French press, cold brew, or Turkish coffee, the medium grind isn’t ideal. For espresso, the whole-bean version is strongly recommended — dark roasts are the traditional choice for espresso but require a fine grind not available in this pre-ground product.
The Bulletproof Coffee Recipe
"Bulletproof Coffee" is a popular preparation method that combines brewed coffee with grass-fed butter (or ghee) and MCT oil.
Bulletproof Coffee Preparation
- Brew 2 cups of coffee using the method of your choice
- Combine with 2 tablespoons of unsalted grass-fed butter (or grass-fed ghee for a dairy-free option)
- Add 2 tablespoons of MCT oil (such as Primal Warrior C8 MCT Oil or Bulletproof Brain Octane)
- Blend in a high-speed blender (or use an Aerolatte® frother) until a creamy head of foam forms
- Pour and drink while hot
The dark roast profile of French Kick makes for a bolder, more intense Bulletproof Coffee — the coffee character stays in the foreground even with the butter and MCT added.
Packaging Notes
Pre-ground coffee tends to lose freshness faster than whole beans. To extend freshness, this product is packaged in a nitrogen-flushed bag with a one-way degassing valve — the nitrogen displaces oxygen at packaging, and the valve lets CO2 from the beans escape without letting oxygen in. Bags stay fresh at room temperature for several weeks once received.
Good to Know
How is this different from the Original Bulletproof Coffee?
Same estate-sourced beans and processing, but roasted much longer to reach a dark profile. Bolder, smokier cup with caramelised flavours. Original is medium roast with brighter fruit-and-spice notes; French Kick is dark roast with smoky chocolate aromas.
Which roast should I pick?
If you like a smooth, balanced cup with brighter notes, go with the Original (medium roast). If you like something in the middle, try The Mentalist (medium-dark). French Kick (this product) is the boldest option — best if you like French-style coffee or milk drinks.
How much caffeine is in a cup?
A typical cup of brewed drip coffee (240mL) contains roughly 80–120mg of caffeine. (A common misconception is that darker roasts have more caffeine — caffeine content actually varies more with brewing method and bean weight than roast level.) Australian dietary guidelines recommend adults limit caffeine intake to no more than 400mg per day.
Do I have to make Bulletproof Coffee with it?
No. This is regular ground coffee. Make it however you normally make coffee.
