Buying Guide
So… what coffee should you buy?
Everyone drinks coffee differently; with milk, alt‑milk, or straight black varieties, and every brewing style brings out something unique, whether you’re using an espresso machine, plunger, pour‑over, AeroPress, or anything in between.
Rather than diving into every possible variable, this guide gives you a brief simple overview of all of our coffees on a page.

🍓 Fruit Note Alert!
While we reference fruit flavours across most of our coffees, these tasting notes are descriptors used to highlight familiar characteristics you might recognise in the cup.
That said, some coffees truly lean into big, bold fruit character. Some might call it funky… we call it crazy good flavour. Each to their own.
