Have you got any tips to make better coffee at home?

We have a few tips to help you get the best out of our coffee:

  1. Make sure the beans are airtight and away from sunlight
  2. Do not keep the capsules or beans in the refrigerator or freezer
  3. If you have not used your coffee machine in a while, run it through an empty cycle so fresh water can pour through and clean the inner tubes.
  4. If using milk, we recommend between 50-150ml of milk (dairy or non-dairy) depending on the coffee variant and style of coffee you like.
How long does your coffee last for?

While our capsule boxes and coffee bean bags have a best-by date on them, we recommend using coffee bean bags within 3 months of opening and the capsules within 6 months of receiving them.
