Filter: We recommend you to use a scale and a brewing technique you are familiar with to ensure consistent results while brewing our coffee.

Freshness is of utmost importance to us, and to minimise food waste, we roast our coffee every Tuesday. This means you can expect your coffee to be shipped the following Wednesday. By roasting in small batches, we ensure that we don’t produce more coffee than needed, preventing it from going stale on the shelf. This way, you receive freshly roasted coffee right to your door.
