Coffee Quality

How fresh is the coffee?

Do you sell ground coffee?

We only sell whole beans to ensure maximum freshness and quality. Need grinder advice? Just ask!

Can I choose my coffees?

Currently, we curate all selections. Customisation options planned for the future.

Subscription Management

Can I pause or cancel?

Yes, manage your subscription through your account to skip, pause, or cancel anytime.

Do you offer refunds?

Due to coffee's perishable nature, we can't refund shipped orders. Contact us about any issues.

Shipping

Where do you deliver?

  • One-off Drops: UK only
  • Discovery Box and subscriptions: UK, select EU countries and USA (additional fees apply for international shipping)

We are hoping to offer more affordable international shipping as we grow. Unfortunately, as a new small business we cannot absorb the cost.

Can I track my delivery?

Yes, all deliveries are sent as tracked.

March 2025 roasters selection

  • Colorfull

    Proud to present to you Colorfull, a Canadian roaster with consistently amazing decaf offerings! Their latest one, Orange Marmalade Shortbread Decaf, is a red bourbon anaerobic washed decaf by Wilton Benitez. Tasting notes of lemon, orange blossom, and marmalade. First time this coffee is available in the UK! So don't miss out! 

  • Atmans

    Our second roaster is Atmans with a stunning clean tasting decaf. This is one of my favourites and not easy to find decafs, a pink bourbon EA decaf by Lasso brothers and Jhoan Vergara. With notes of orange, vanilla, cinnamon, dates, and a distinctive umami quality, this is a decaf experience that challenges expectations.
    Atman means «the essence, the soul..» and the main reason behind this company is to show the “atman” of the coffees that Miguel Lamora curates through his vast experience in the coffee and hospitality industry.

February 2025 roasters selection

  • Hydrangea

    Hydrangea is the first roaster for this box with their exceptional Thermal Shock Decaf from Finca El Paraiso! It's a thermal shock washed Castillo coffee by Samuel Diego Bermudez and tastes like raspberries, peach, and key lime! This is the first time this decaf from Hydrangea is available in the UK! 

  • Onyx

    Onyx is our second roaster with one of the most impressive decafs we've ever had, Red Fruits by Sebastian Ramirez, a unique fruit-infused decaffeinated micro-lot. Super fruity — think of strawberry and banana with milk chocolate sweetness. 

  • Hatch

    Hatch is our third roaster with one of the most unusual and innovative decafs out there, Los Nogales Caturra decaf. This is unlike any decaf you've had before with strong herbal and fruity notes. Another Los Nogales decaf was used by the winner of the US Brewers' Cup last year, so this is one not to be missed!

  • Zennor

    The UK roaster for February is... Zennor! Scotland seems to have some of the best roasters lately and Glasgow based Zennor is definitely one of the finest. Their light roasted decaf is by Wilton Benitez and it's a banger. Sweet, fruity, with a jammy body this is a wonderful decaf with any method.
