We purchase all of our coffee well above the fair trade price (which is a very low price). The standard Fair Trade price of coffee does not guarantee producer sustainability, farmer sustainability, or quality coffee. Some of our coffees might be certified organic, but we do not advertise this as such, since a lot of the other coffees we serve are also organically grown, but by producers or farmers who might lack the means to get certified. Instead of searching out these labels, we focus on quality and taste.

Our filter coffee is lightly roasted and tastes best 14 days after roasting. This does not mean it won’t still taste delicious at a later date, however its aroma’s will peak after about two week of rest. Espresso is roasted a bit darker and needs a bit more time to compose itself. Give it 10 to 20 days after roasting before putting it under pressure.

Yes we can! Just select the ‘ground coffee’ option instead of ‘whole beans’ when you make a purchase.

If your coffee tastes watery, first make sure you have the right ratio of coffee to water. 1 part coffee to 15 parts water is a great place to start. Check out our brew recipes to fine tune your coffee brewing method.

We have a specialised water filter system, high quality burr grinders and other professional equipment. We keep the water at a specific temperature each time we brew. All these things and more help us ensure consistency and a great cup of coffee.

We think it’s unnecessary to order in bulk bags unless you are a café, restaurant, or office. Coffee goes stale quickly if exposed to air, so unless you will be going through a 1 kg bag in less than a week, we recommend you stick to the 250 gr bags. If you order coffee weekly and would like a better price, check out our coffee subscriptions!

Well, you should definitely drink the coffee first, but after you should recycle the bag with other plastics.

We ship online orders Monday through Friday. If a holiday falls on one of those days you can expect your coffee to go out the next available shipping day. The cut off time for getting your order in to ship the FOLLOWING day is 12pm. Examples: if you get your order in before 12pm on Monday, your package will ship on Tuesday; if you get your order in after 12pm on Thursday, your order will not ship until the following Monday. Note: Coffee Subscriptions always ship on Tuesday.

This depends on where you are and how fast you need your coffee.
