How it works
Built around the questions people ask before their first bag.
- 48hours
Will it be fresh when it arrives?
Your bag ships within 48 hours of roasting, and the roast date is printed on the label where you would usually find a best-before.
Which grind do I need?
Tell us how you brew: espresso, moka pot, pour-over, AeroPress, French press, or whole bean if you grind at home. Each bag is ground to order on a flat burr grinder set for that method.
Am I locked in?
Two days before each roast we email you, and one link lets you skip, swap the coffee or cancel. There is no account to log in to and no minimum number of bags.
What if I don't like it?
Reply to the shipping email and tell us what was off. We'll put a different coffee in your next box at no charge and note it, so that style doesn't come back.
Where does it come from?
The producer, region, variety and process are printed on every label. We buy green coffee by the lot through two importers who visit the farms each harvest.
On the roaster
This month's coffees
Four coffees through the end of the month. Subscribers can switch between them for any delivery.
The roastery
Two roasters, one 12 kg machine, and a logbook entry for every batch.
We roast on Tuesdays and Fridays in a converted tire shop off Haywood Road. Each coffee has a profile we adjust by hand, and every batch goes in the log: charge temperature, first crack, drop, and how it tasted on the cupping table the next morning.
If a batch cups flat, it doesn't ship. It becomes cold brew for the Saturday counter, and your bag goes on the next roast. We'd rather ship your coffee two days late than send a batch we wouldn't drink ourselves.

I used to buy whichever bag had the nicest label. Now the roast date is the first thing I check, and the Sunday email is the only one from a shop I actually open.
The first Ethiopia was too bright for me. I replied to the shipping email, they sent the Brazil instead, and I haven't had a natural since.
Ground for my French press and it tastes cleaner. Much less sludge at the bottom of the cup.
