Christmas Coffee Advent Calendar

This is a very frequent question and one we are not embarrassed to answer. As a coffee merchant we work with top roasteries across the UK, ensuring that we are sourcing the best of the best. Coffee Roasting is an exact science and we figure it’s best left with the professionals who really know what they’re doing. The result is lots of choice for you and a perfectly roasted bean every time.

We use the freshest beans possible for our flavoured and none flavoured coffee and have found that whilst these are good for up to a year, we date it for 6 months, ensuring that you have a wonderful experience even if you don’t drink it straight away. This is great for gifting too, since we appreciate that not everyone drinks as much coffee as we do.

The grind varies immensely depending on the extraction method. Think about how long it takes to make the coffee and usually this is a good indicator of how fine the beans need to be. The general rules is the longer it takes to make the courser the coffee needs to be. These are the following choices.

Espresso Machine – a fine grind is needed for this to get the crema everyone loves.

Stove Top Mocha Pot & Aeropress – still a fine grind but not quite as fine as espresso machine

Filter – a little bit courser than the above.

Cafetiere – to get the best flavour from your coffee a medium course grind is needed.

Percolator and Cold Brew – Course ground coffee because the process is much slower.

A medium roast coffee is most beneficial for flavouring, this gives a lovely coffee taste without being too strong to over power the flavour. We flavour to order, ensuring the maximum freshness for you and maximum shelf life for your coffee. We use high quality, sugar free (so suitable for diabetics) nature identical high potency flavours which add a different dimension to your everyday cup. The freshly roasted beans are 100% arabica and mixed by hand to ensure an even distribution of the flavour. If your order is for whole bean, it is packaged and sealed immediately, however if you require ground coffee, this is left for 24 hours for the flavour to gently permeate through the coffee.
