What It Is

This is The Mentalist in whole bean format, sold as a 3-pack for regular drinkers. It’s Bulletproof®'s medium-dark roast — same estate-sourced Arabica beans as the Original, taken to a longer roast for a fuller body and darker flavour profile. No added ingredients — just coffee.

The medium-dark roast sits between the Original (medium) and French Kick (dark) — if you prefer a bolder coffee than the Original but not as intense as the darker French Kick, The Mentalist is the middle option.

If you prefer ready-to-brew convenience, the same coffee is also available as a pre-ground 3-pack, or as a single 340g bag.

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 medium-dark profile.

Brewing Notes

Whole beans give you full control over grind size:

• Espresso — fine grind (the medium-dark roast suits espresso especially well)
• Moka pot / AeroPress — fine-to-medium grind
• Drip / pour-over / syphon — medium grind
• French press — coarse grind, 4-minute steep
• Cold brew — coarse grind, 12–24 hour steep

The medium-dark roast profile works particularly well in espresso and moka pot brewing where the fuller body carries through milk. Grind just before brewing for the freshest flavour.

The Bulletproof Coffee Recipe

"Bulletproof Coffee" is a popular preparation method that combines brewed coffee with grass-fed butter (or ghee) and MCT oil.

The medium-dark roast profile of The Mentalist gives Bulletproof Coffee a fuller, richer body compared with the Original.

Packaging Notes

Whole beans stay fresher for longer than pre-ground coffee. To extend freshness further, each 340g bag 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. If you’re working through the 3-pack over multiple months, store the unopened bags in the freezer and pull one out to open at room temperature when you’re ready to use it.
