We ship Monday to Friday with DHL/Bpost. Orders received before 8AM will generally ship that same day. Exceptions can occur.

Freshness

We roast 2-3 days per week. The coffee we ship is usually roasted no longer than a week ago, but can be up to 2 weeks maximum. We recommend to rest our coffees as they gain more intensity and complexity 2-3 weeks after roasting.

Ground coffee

After roasting we pack and seal our coffee bags immediately. When you order ground coffee, be aware that the bag will be opened, so our team can grind your coffee.
