WHAT THE FAQ?

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We've got answers! Dive into our FAQs for a thrill ride  through all our most common queries.

01

When will I receive my order?

Coffee is sent out on the first Tuesday of every month. Required volume will depend on your consumption habits and preferred brew style but as a general rule, per month: 500g will suit one cup per day for one person. 1kg per month will suit two people or someone having a couple of cups per day.

2kg per month will keep a household of 4 sufficiently caffeinated until your next delivery. If you find you need to increase or reduce your subscription, you can easily log into your account through our website and adjust your ongoing subscription accordingly.

02

How do I get started and how does billing work?

Go into our store and select your favourite coffee. When adding to your cart you can select a one-off purchase or subscription. For a subscription, your payment details will be stored and you will be automatically billed every month according to your subscription amount.

Your initial order will be sent as soon as possible after your initial purchase, then subsequent orders will be sent out on the first Tuesday of each month.

03

Will you be like my local gym and make it difficult for me to cancel?

Nope, and we won’t hit you with a guilt trip either. When you set up your subscription, you’ll be given a login to our customer portal. There you can easily manage all aspects of your subscription, including cancellation with questions asked.

04

How does the “Roaster’s Choice” subscription work?

When you purchase a Roaster’s Choice subscription, you tell us how you're brewing your coffee and whether you want whole beans or need it ground. From there our roastery crew will select a coffee that they’re passionate about and send it out for you to enjoy. If you happen to receive one you’re not a huge fan of (hopefully you won’t!), just let us know and we can make a note not to include that particular coffee in your rotation in future.

05

Coffee is seasonal, what happens if my favourite coffee is no longer available?

We will keep you updated if your chosen coffee is running low in stock. We will suggest an alternative or two that will suit your preferred flavour profile, or you can log into your subscription portal and adjust your order if you’ve seen another coffee that catches your eye.
