Roast Days & Delivery

We roast to order and ship out the very next day. We use EVRi's 48hr tracked delivery service to get your freshly roasted coffee to your door.

Grind types explained

Wholebean: Wholebean coffee allows you to grind your own coffee right before brewing, to keep the freshness. Some coffee machines have a grinder built-in, or you can buy one separately.

Cafetiere: French Press or Cafetiere coffee uses a coarse grind. Grounds are separated from the coffee and there is no filter involved, so the oils from the coffee remain.

Filter: Filter coffee grind is medium, like sea salt, and is made by pushing high-pressure water through fine coffee grounds, where the brew drips through a filter.

Aeropress: Aeropress coffee uses a fine grind, and creates a single serving of coffee that drips through a filter to separate the coffee from the grounds.

Espresso: Espresso coffee uses a fine, powdery grind. It has a lower ground to water ratio, and is usually thicker and more intense.

100% Recyclable

We care for coffee drinkers and the planet, too. You can recycle Wilby’s packaging - or even make it into a nice hat. We’re not judging.

FAQs

Should I let my coffee rest?

The optimal resting time for freshly roasted specialty coffee can vary depending on the brewing method. Here's a breakdown for filter and espresso:

Filter Coffee

  • Light Roasts: 10-14 days
  • Medium Roasts: 5-10 days
  • Dark Roasts: 1-5 days

For filter coffee, which includes methods like drip, pour-over, and French press, the flavors tend to be more delicate and nuanced. Allowing a bit more time for resting helps these subtleties to develop fully.

Espresso

  • Light Roasts: 14-21 days
  • Medium Roasts: 7-10 days
  • Dark Roasts: 1-5 days

Espresso brewing, due to its high pressure and short extraction time, can be more sensitive to CO2 levels. A longer rest period ensures the CO2 has adequately degassed, leading to a more stable crema and balanced shot.

Summary

  • Filter Coffee: Generally requires a shorter rest period, focusing on bringing out the lighter, more nuanced flavours.
  • Espresso: Benefits from a longer rest period to ensure proper degassing and to enhance crema and balance.

Remember, these are guidelines and personal taste preferences play a significant role. Experiment within these ranges to find the perfect rest time for your coffee.

What's the best way to store my coffee?
  • Sealed and Ambient: Always keep your coffee sealed in an airtight container and store it in an ambient environment to preserve its freshness.
  • Avoid Refrigeration: While lower temperatures can help prolong the life of coffee, do not store your coffee in the fridge. The moisture in the refrigerator accelerates the oxidation process, which diminishes the coffee's flavour.
How long does my coffee stay fresh for?

Freshly roasted specialty coffee retains its peak flavor and aroma for a limited time after roasting. When you receive your coffee, check the roasting date printed on the bag - it's your freshness indicator. To savour Wilby's at its best, consider these handy guidelines:

Whole Bean Coffee:

  • Optimal Freshness: Whole bean coffee is generally at its freshest within the first 2 to 4 weeks after roasting.
  • Use By: It is recommended to consume whole bean coffee within 2 to 3 months of the roast date for the best flavour.

Ground Coffee:

  • Optimal Freshness: Ground coffee starts to lose freshness more quickly due to increased surface area exposure to air.
  • Use By: Ground coffee is best consumed within 1 to 2 weeks of the roast date to enjoy the fullest flavour profile.

Storage Considerations:

  • Airtight Container: Store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture.
  • Avoid Refrigeration: While refrigeration might seem like a good idea, it can introduce moisture and lead to condensation on the beans, which accelerates staling.
What is a quality score?

A coffee cupping quality score is a standardised method to evaluate the attributes of a coffee sample. During a cupping session, various aspects such as aroma, flavour, acidity, body, and aftertaste are assessed and scored on a scale, typically from 0 to 100. This score helps determine the overall quality of the coffee, with higher scores indicating superior quality. Cupping scores are essential for identifying the best beans, guiding purchasing decisions, and providing valuable feedback to coffee producers.

Do you add flavours to my coffee?

You'll notice that each of our coffees boasts its own unique tasting notes, and here's the best part - there are absolutely no added flavours or additives in our coffee. It's pure 100% Arabica beans.

When we talk about flavours, we're describing the delightful tastes we discern during our cupping sessions. These can range from hints of chocolate and orange to even notes reminiscent of sherbet! These flavours arise naturally from how the coffee is grown and processed.

Where do you source your green coffee beans?

We work with Green Coffee Collective who specialise in working with trusted partners who deliver quality.
