COFFEE QUESTIONS
Questions, answered
The things people ask us most about this coffee.
How much caffeine does it have?
Very high. As a Robusta it carries roughly double the caffeine of Arabica, so it is a strong, high-energy cup.
What does it taste like?
Bold, rich, and syrupy, with dark chocolate, molasses, and earthy depth, plus clove-like spice and peanut notes.
Why does this coffee produce so much crema?
Because it is a Robusta. Robusta beans naturally produce more and thicker crema than Arabica, which is why this coffee gives such a rich, lasting crema in espresso.
Does it make good espresso?
Yes. It is roasted specifically for espresso and gives a thick, powerful shot with a long finish, ideal on its own or in milk.
Is this a good coffee for beginners?
This is a bold, high-caffeine Robusta. If you already enjoy strong, full-bodied cups you will love it; if you prefer something milder, a smooth medium roast is a gentler starting point.
How should I grind my coffee for my brew method?
Choose your grind at checkout, or select whole bean and grind at home. As a guide: fine for espresso, medium for pour over and drip, and coarse for French press.
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?
We roast weekly in small batches in Ottawa, and your order ships within 3 business days of being placed, so your coffee reaches you soon after its roast for peak flavour.
Should I choose whole bean or ground?
Every coffee is available as whole bean or ground to your brew method. Whole bean stays fresher longer; ground is ready to brew right away.
How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh?
Keep it in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the fridge, and use it within a few weeks of opening for the best flavour.
Can I subscribe and save?
Yes. Choose a subscription at checkout to get fresh coffee delivered on your schedule. You can adjust or cancel anytime per our subscription policy.
Where do you ship, and how much is shipping?
