Everything about Coffee
What is the difference between arabica and robusta coffee?
Arabica and robusta are two popular types of coffee beans with different flavours and growing conditions.
How do I choose the right grind size for my brewing method?
The grind size of coffee determines the extraction and depends on the brewing method.
What is the difference between light, medium, and dark roast?
Light, medium and dark roasting each have a unique influence on the flavour of coffee.
What are the different brewing methods and how do they affect the flavour?
Each brewing method uniquely influences the flavour and body of coffee.
Are your coffees certified, such as organic or Fair Trade?
Yes, we offer certified coffees, including organic and Fair Trade options.
How do I know which coffee suits me best?
Choose a coffee that matches your taste preferences and brewing method.
Which coffee beans are suitable for my bean-to-cup machine?
For a fully automatic coffee machine (such as Jura, De'Longhi, Siemens), we recommend medium to dark roasted beans that are not too oily (greasy).
Why are the bags of coffee beans sometimes puffy?
After roasting, coffee beans release a small amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂). This process, known as 'degassing', is a natural by-product of roasting. The released CO₂ can sometimes cause the bag to puff up. This process is completely natural and a sign of quality. Simply open the bag as usual and enjoy the delicious taste of our freshly roasted coffee beans!
Why aren’t coffee beans vacuum packed?
Coffee beans are not vacuum packed because they continue to release gas after roasting. This would cause the bags to become pressurised. That is why valve packaging is used, which allows the gas to escape but does not let air in.
Why does the intensity on my packaging differ?
It may happen that the intensity on the packaging is displayed differently than on our website, or than on packaging you have previously received. This is because coffee brands use different packaging and intensity scales per country. For example, some packaging uses a scale from 1 to 5, while others show a scale from 1 to 10. The design, language and graphical presentation may also differ per market. Is the coffee different then? No. The coffee itself is the same. The composition and flavour profile of a specific variant remain identical. The difference is only in marketing, language and the presentation of the packaging. Why do customers receive different packaging? We work with European distribution channels. Within the European market, products may be traded freely, meaning packaging from different countries can be supplied interchangeably. This is permitted and has no impact on the product. Does this affect taste or quality? No. Packaging differences have no effect on quality, freshness, taste or authenticity. How can I be sure I have received the correct variant? Check whether the product name and item code match your order. The variant name is decisive, even when the intensity scale on the packaging is displayed differently. What can I do if I’m unsure? Please feel free to contact our customer service and, if possible, include your order number and a photo of the product received. We will be happy to take a look with you.

When are freshly roasted coffee beans at their best?

Savings Points and Discounts
How does the loyalty points system work?
With every purchase you earn points that you can redeem for a discount.

Saved points can be redeemed at checkout for a discount on your order.

The discount amount varies depending on the number of points you have collected.
I placed an order as a guest. Can I link this order to my account?
Yes, this is possible. You will need to create an account for this. Then contact customer service.
Do I get a discount on my first order?

We don't use a separate discount code for new customers. What you can get straight away:

  • 100 loyalty points as a gift. Create an account and sign up for our newsletter. Do both and you'll receive a one-off 100 points. The order in which you do them doesn't matter. One hundred points is 1 euro off, which you can use on orders from 10 euro upwards.
  • Loyalty points on every order. As soon as you have an account, you automatically collect points on everything you order.
  • A birthday gift. Around your birthday we automatically send you an email with a code.
  • Promotional codes from the newsletter. We share current promotions through the newsletter, and they apply to new customers too.

Would you like to know exactly how collecting points works? Have a look at the question about our loyalty points scheme in this FAQ.

Where do I enter my discount code or gift card?

Go to your shopping basket. On the right you'll see a grey box with the order totals.

  • Discount code or gift card: the field where you enter your code is at the bottom of that grey box. Enter the code, confirm, and the amount comes off the total straight away.
  • Loyalty points: you redeem these at the top of the same box. That option appears once you're logged in, have enough points and your order comes to more than 10 euro.

Can't see the field? Then you've probably already clicked through to the payment page. Go back a step to the shopping basket, where you will find it.

Code not working? Check that you've copied it exactly, with no spaces before or after, and that it hasn't expired. If it still won't work, please get in touch with us and include the code.

What happens to my loyalty points if I cancel or the payment fails?

If you use loyalty points and the order doesn't go through, you won't lose those points. They're briefly held while the system is still processing the order.

  • If an order is cancelled or a payment fails, the points you used are usually released back into your balance within 15 to 30 minutes. If you don't see them straight away, wait a moment and refresh your account page.
  • Points you would have earned on that order lapse along with the order. If you place it again, you simply earn them again.
  • In the case of a return we look at your balance case by case. Send us your order number and we'll put it right.

Is your balance still wrong after half an hour? Please get in touch with us and include your order number, and we'll correct it manually.
