FAQs
How fresh is my coffee when it arrives?
Your coffee is roasted to order and shipped within 24 hours of roasting. We never roast in advance or keep inventory sitting on shelves. This means your coffee arrives at peak freshness, typically 2-5 days from roasting depending on your location. For the best flavor experience, we recommend using your coffee within 2-4 weeks of the roast date.
Should I order whole beans or ground coffee?
We recommend ordering whole beans for maximum freshness and flavor, as coffee begins to lose its optimal taste within minutes of grinding. However, we're happy to grind your coffee to order for your preferred brewing method. Just select your grind size at checkout:
- Whole Bean (recommended)
- Coarse (French Press, Cold Brew)
- Medium (Drip, Pour Over)
- Fine (Espresso, Moka Pot)
What makes your coffee different from grocery store coffee?
Our coffee is specialty-grade (85+ points), single origin, and roasted by SCA-certified professionals. Unlike grocery store coffee that sits on shelves for weeks or months, your coffee is roasted specifically for your order and shipped within 24 hours. We source 100% organic, fair-trade beans with no artificial flavors or additives - just pure, exceptional coffee that showcases each origin's unique characteristics.

Testimonials
All of these coffees are top top tier, but I think the Nicaragua and the Costa Rica are the two best. Really complex, but balanced flavour, not too harsh, really good with a touch of milk to offset the bitterness.

The beans you get here are ACE! Even the freshest coffee you order from online subscription will be a few days to a week old. But here, you get your coffee made to order, and the coffee is still warm.
