Beans & Ground

Roasted to order, shipped within days. We don't hold stock of pre-roasted coffee, every bag leaves our Southampton roastery as close to your door as we can manage. Coffee peaks in flavour 3–14 days after roasting, so what arrives is genuinely fresh. Not-been-sitting-in-a-warehouse fresh.

Our blends are crafted for balance and consistency, great for everyday drinking, reliable across different brew methods, and ideal if you just want a coffee that works every time. Single origin coffees are more about character, you're tasting one specific place, one harvest, with more nuance and variability. Not sure where to start? The HOUSE Blend is our most popular. Graduate to single origin when the curiosity strikes.

Whole beans: 4-6 weeks. Ground coffee: 2–3 weeks. These are guidelines for peak flavour, the coffee won't go off after that, but it will lose complexity. Our bags include a one-way degassing valve to help, but once opened, reseal tightly and keep away from heat, light and air.

Cool, dry, away from light, a kitchen cupboard is ideal. Don't put them in the fridge (moisture and odours are the enemy) and the freezer is only worth it for large quantities you're storing long-term. The bag's built-in degassing valve does most of the work. Just seal it and store it sensibly.

Yes, light, medium and dark, depending on the blend or origin. Our espresso blends tend toward medium-dark for body and intensity. Our filter and single origin coffees are typically roasted lighter to preserve clarity and complexity. You'll find the roast level on each product page. As a guide: lighter roasts, more fruity and bright. Darker roasts, more chocolate, malt and body. Neither is better; it comes down to how you like your coffee.
