Brew method first

Coffee matched to how you drink it

Start with the brewer you own. A little guidance on roast and grind can save a lot of guesswork.

Bright cups with room to explore

V60 and AeroPress recipes make it easy to notice how an origin changes in the cup. Try a lighter roast, then adjust grind size and water temperature to shape the extraction.

We select coffee by origin, altitude, processing method and cup profile.

Roast in batches

Each coffee is roasted to bring out its own character, then rested before dispatch.

Set your grind

Choose whole bean or the grind that suits V60, AeroPress, press, moka pot or espresso.

Roasters who drink what they sell

We cup each lot and test it with the brew methods we recommend. Tasting notes should help you picture the cup, not promise flavours that are hard to find.

Origin, process, altitude and roast profile stay visible on the product listing. That makes it easier to compare coffees and choose your next bag.

Before you order

Specialty coffee questions, answered

Need a recommendation for a specific grinder or brewer? Ask us before choosing.

How soon is coffee roasted and dispatched?

Coffee is roasted in small batches and rested before dispatch. Check the product and delivery information at checkout for current order timing and UK delivery estimates.

Should I buy whole bean or ground coffee?

A grinder at home gives you more control over freshness. If you do not have one, choose the grind option that matches your brewer, such as V60, AeroPress, French press, moka pot or espresso.

Can I change my subscription?

Subscription plans let you manage the delivery frequency. Check the plan details for options to change, pause or cancel before you place an order.

How should I store coffee beans?

Keep beans sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from direct sun and strong smells. Use the roast date and your own tasting to decide when the cup is at its best.

Can I ask for brewing advice before buying?

Yes. Tell us your brewer and grinder, and we can point you towards a suitable coffee and grind setting.
