Important Information

Roasting Day: We roast our coffee every Tuesday.
Order Cut-off: Place your order by midnight on Monday to be included in that week's roast.
Dispatch Timing: Orders placed before the cut-off are roasted and shipped within the same week.
Late Orders: Orders placed after midnight on Monday will usually be roasted and shipped the following week. However, if we have freshly roasted coffee available from the previous Tuesday's roast, we'll send that instead (while stocks last) so you don’t have to wait an extra week.

As a small-batch roastery, this schedule ensures that you receive your coffee at its freshest.

We ship all orders using Royal Mail. For coffee orders to the UK, Ireland, and select European countries, we offer:

Standard | Tracked | 48h: Reliable delivery within 48 hours.
Priority | Tracked | 24h: Faster delivery within 24 hours.

For more details, please check our Shipping Policy.

To enjoy the full flavour and nuances of your coffee, we recommend the following rest periods from the roast date:

Coffee Roasted for Filter:

Dark: 2 days
Light to Medium: 4-10 days
Very Light and/or Very Dense Coffee: 10 days or more

Coffee Roasted for Espresso:

Dark: 2 days
Medium: 8-10 days
Light: 10 days or more

Resting allows the coffee flavours to develop fully.

While these recommendations generally provide the best results, individual preferences and specific beans may vary. If in doubt, wait 2 weeks after roast date.
