FAQs

How fresh is your coffee when it's delivered? We take great pride in delivering the freshest coffee to your doorstep. We include 'Roasted On (date)' stickers, so you can be sure that your coffee is as fresh as it can be. This ensures that you receive your coffee at its peak flavour, allowing you to enjoy the true essence of our meticulously crafted beans.

Can I customize my coffee grind size for different brewing methods? Absolutely! We offer four distinct grind options to cater to various brewing methods and personal preferences:

  • Fine Grind: This grind size is perfect for espresso machines. If you savor the intense and concentrated flavors of espresso, choose the fine grind option for an optimal extraction.

  • Medium Grind: Ideal for drip coffee makers and pour-over methods, the medium grind ensures a balanced extraction, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic cup of coffee. This versatile option is suitable for everyday brewing.

  • Coarse Grind: Tailored for French press or immersion brewing, the coarse grind allows for a slower extraction process. This produces a full-bodied and robust coffee, capturing the unique characteristics of our single origin beans.

  • Whole Bean: For those who prefer the flexibility of grinding their coffee fresh at home, the whole bean option is perfect. It provides the opportunity to experiment with different grind sizes based on your preferred brewing method, ensuring a personalized and exceptional coffee experience.

Feel free to select the grind size that aligns with your favourite brewing method, and if you ever have specific requests or questions, our team is here to assist you. We want to ensure that each cup of coffee you enjoy is crafted to perfection.
