We believe in great coffee. That's why we think it needs to be roasted fresh, ground fresh and brewed fresh to get the best cup in your hands. You simply cannot compare instant or preground coffee to the beverage you'll be drinking if you grind fresh at home... Think about it. Have you ever visited a specialty coffee shop that doesn’t grind fresh? 

The Whole Bean Revolution is our master plan to get everyone onto specialty coffee at home or at work. Trust me when I say it's not as difficult or expensive as you might think. In fact, buying whole bean coffee is usually cheaper!  

However, we're also realists. It's a big jump to move from preground coffee to freshly roasted whole bean coffee. Firstly, you need to find a coffee that you're mad about – no good making the switch if you're not a fan of the beans! Secondly, you need a coffee grinder. That's why we've created this mega bundle. Now you can join the Whole Bean Revolution for less than £100. Simple. 

There are three main points to consider when discussing the benefits of whole bean coffee over preground. 

Firstly, it stays fresher for longer. We're all fans of roast dates and making sure our coffee is as fresh as it can be. As a Barista & Co subscriber, you're already guaranteed super fresh coffee roasted within 7 days. But did you know preground coffee will only last a few weeks before it begins to oxidise and the flavour is ruined? Whole bean coffee stays fresh for up to 3 months. Winner winner chicken dinner. 

Secondly, it's better for the planet. As whole bean coffee stays fresh for longer, you don't need to order as frequently. Our subscribers take advantage of this by getting their beans delivered every 6 – 8 weeks instead of monthly. Less deliveries means less vans on the road which means less pollution. 

Lastly, it's cheaper. Like tons cheaper. Our kilo club Regulars get their coffee from as little as 26p per cup. That's better value than almost all of the supermarket brands.  

Whole bean coffee lasts up to 3 months. Coffee doesn't really begin to oxidise until it has been ground due to its tough exterior. When your coffee does oxidise, it will be bland in flavour and have a bitter/off taste.

We keep it really simple at Barista & Co. You don't need a degree in coffee to choose the best one! With our grind fresh deal, you can choose from our House Darker Roast, our House Lighter Roast, our House Decaf Roast or our Seasonal Guest. Now that's not very helpful yet, so here's a simple breakdown: 

Our House Darker Roast is a Brazilian coffee, hand-picked in the Serra de Mantiquera region. Now this region is famous for creating beautiful, chocolately coffee's and this one in particular doesn’t dissapoint. You'll notice chocolate, macadamia and hazelnut tasting notes coming through. 

Our House Lighter Roast is very different, hand-picked in Mexico by farmers we know by name. When you roast coffee beans lighter, you get more of the natural flavours of the bean and you can expect almond, berry and vanilla tasting notes to come through. This is the perfect coffee for people who drink black, filter brews in my opinion. It has an interesting spice finish that it unlike anything else I've tried. 

Our House Decaf Roast gets rave reviews from our coffee subscribers. Yes, it's decaffeinated. But no, it doesn't taste like it's been decaffeinated. This coffee come straight out of El Salvador to be roasted in Dorset and delivered straight to your door. It's chocolate and orange tasting notes aren’t lost in the decaffeination process as we use the natural CO2 method to lock in as much of the flavour as we can. It's an excellent choice for an after dinner brew, and decaf actually has many health benefits so it's worth giving it a go. 

Finally, we move on to our Seasonal Guest. If I'm being honest, we drink Seasonal Guest in the office as much as we can because it's always an insanely high quality coffee at unbelievable value. Our current Seasonal Guest is from Peru but this will change every 3 – 4 months so keep your eyes peeled for updates. 

Of course you can! As soon as your subscription is created you'll be sent a link to access your dashboard where you can make any changes to the product, frequency or quantity that you want. It's also where you'll go to pause, skip and order or cancel. You'll never be tied in to a Barista & Co coffee subscription.
