About coffee

How long does coffee stay fresh after roasting?

Specialty coffee is at its best 5-30 days after roasting. Under 5 days is too fresh for espresso (CO2 still present); past 6 weeks it starts to lose aroma. Store in a sealed bag, away from light and humidity.

How do I store coffee at home?

In an airtight bag, at room temperature (18-22°C), away from light, heat, and humidity. NOT in the fridge or freezer — condensation damages the beans. One-way valve containers (Airscape, Fellow Atmos) are ideal.

What's the difference between whole beans and ground coffee?

Ground coffee loses its aroma in 24-48 hours through oxidation. Whole beans last 4-6 weeks. We recommend investing in a grinder and buying whole beans — it makes the biggest difference in final quality.

What does single origin mean?

Coffee that comes from a single farm, cooperative, or small region. Unlike blends (mix of origins), single origin tells you exactly the country, region, farm, altitude, and bean variety. See more in our glossary.

Brewing & preparation

How do I choose between V60, Chemex, AeroPress, and French Press?

Can I drink specialty coffee with milk?

Yes, but pick coffees with a sweet profile and full body (Brazil, Peru, Indonesia). Acidic coffees with floral notes (Ethiopia, Tanzania) are better on filter. For a home cappuccino, we recommend a 1:3 ratio (36g espresso + 100ml steamed milk).

How much caffeine is in an Incognito coffee?

All are 100% Arabica, so less caffeine than commercial Robusta.

Orders & delivery

Why is specialty coffee more expensive?

Specialty coffee is bought at 2-5x the C-market price, ensuring fair pay to farmers. Careful processing, hand selection, small lots, and weekly roasting all increase costs — and quality in the cup.

How fast does my order arrive?

Orders placed Monday-Wednesday are roasted, packaged, and shipped within 24-48 hours. Thursday-Sunday orders ship the following Monday or Tuesday. Couriers deliver within 1-2 working days nationwide.

Can I return coffee if I don't like it?

Opened and consumed coffee can't be returned (food hygiene). Sealed coffee can be returned within 14 days. If you're not happy, write to [email protected] and we'll find a solution — we believe every customer should be happy with the coffee on their shelf.

Subscriptions & B2B

Do you offer subscriptions?

Yes:

Both can be paused or canceled at any time, no commitment.

Can you roast coffee for my cafe?

Yes. We have a B2B program for cafes, restaurants, and offices. Contact us at [email protected] for pricing, custom blends, and barista training. We've had B2B clients since 2020.
