Frequently Asked Questions

What brew methods do you recommend?

We source and roast beans that have great versatility across many devices, so the right method often comes down to personal preference.

For Robusta coffee, one of the most common is using Vietnam Coffee Phin. It is also recommended for dripping, cold brew and hot brew.

How should I store my coffee and how long does it stay fresh?

<blockquote class="ml-md">"Freshness is key and coffee’s full awesomeness is fleeting.”</blockquote>
The bags that we ship our coffee in are excellent at keeping the coffee fresh by keeping out the three major factors of coffee aging which are light, moisture, and air. So as long as they remain unopened, your coffee will remain delicious for 30 days after being roasted.

Once opened, we recommend using the coffee within 20 days. In our experience, the distinct and complex flavors that characterize our coffees will tend to have faded after that point.

Store your coffee in a cool, dry place, away from heat and light, and either in its original packaging, or in an airtight container.

We don't recommend storing beans in the refrigerator and can only recommend storage in the freezer under specific circumstances (namely long term, uninterrupted periods). The levels of moisture present in the refrigerator and freezer can greatly accelerate flavor loss.

Do you offer dark, light or medium roast?

We don't normally focus on roast level as a taste factor because our intention is to roast each coffee to the degree of development we think effectively expresses that coffee's best intrinsic qualities.

That said, the bulk of our coffees are roasted to what could be considered a medium place on the spectrum, with our espressos being on the darker end, single origin coffees on the lighter end, and our blends being more in the middle.
