Our Coffee
Our coffee is roasted as required so it is always fresh. Our roasting process is designed to produce excellent and consistent coffee every time.
We supply our coffee in three forms, whole bean, medium grind, and fine grind. Where possible we recommend you buy whole bean and grind it as required. This way your coffee will taste better for longer.
We have made recommendations with each coffee so you have a starting point. Once again this is a guide only, all our coffee taste great, whichever method of preparation you prefer.
The table below gives you an indication of which grinds should be used for the various methods of preparation.
