Coffee
The coffee I ordered last time is out of stock, will you have more?
When a coffee becomes out of stock, we may have an additional release, depending on the next harvest. Please ensure you sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. We always look to purchase following harvests from our partner producers.
When is it best to brew coffee?
We recommend resting our coffee inside its sealed bag for a minimum of 21 days to enjoy the best results. This allows a release of carbon dioxide trapped inside the coffee during the roasting process.
How do I dispose of the coffee packaging?
All of the packaging you receive is fully recyclable paper and plastic. However, we encourage you to check it is accepted at your local recycling centre.
