Coffee Basics

Decaf coffee

Our decaf coffee is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water® Process. This clean method uses 100% green coffee extract and carbon to filter out caffeine, ensuring only caffeine is removed while preserving quality.

Grind options explained

Whole Bean: more flavorful, fresh, and aromatic. Grind right before brewing for best results.

Medium: common grocery-store grind, great for pour-over and drip coffees.

Fine (Espresso): used mostly for espresso machines and moka pots.

How to store coffee beans to extend shelf life

Coffee degrades faster with more surface area, so whole beans keep longer than ground coffee. Store beans in an air-tight container in the freezer. Grind only what you’ll use that day to avoid exposure.

How long does coffee last?

Dried coffee, if stored properly, can last for months and even years.

How to tell if coffee is bad

The best way is your sense of smell. If the pleasant aroma is gone, much of the taste is gone too. It won’t harm you, but it may taste flat. It can also lose its deep dark color and appear lighter brown.
