FAQ

I roast Monday to Friday from a small roastery in Singapore. Once you place an order, I roast within 24 working hours, then SPX picks the parcel up the same day or the next working day.

Every bag ships within a few days of its roast date. The roast date is printed on the bag so you always know how recently it was roasted. Specialty filter coffee tastes best from about day 7 to day 28 post-roast, and espresso peaks slightly later, around day 14 to day 35.

If your bag is very fresh (1 to 4 days post-roast), let it rest for at least a week before filter and two weeks before espresso. The bean is still releasing CO2 in the first few days, which can flatten extraction and create air pockets in the bed. After the rest window, flavours open up significantly.

Keep the bag sealed at room temperature, away from direct light, heat and moisture. The valve on the bag does the venting work for the first couple of weeks, so the bag itself is a fine container until opened. Once opened, use within 2 to 3 weeks for best flavour. Do not store coffee in the fridge or freezer for daily use, temperature swings cause condensation that flattens the cup.

Whole bean is always fresher because ground coffee oxidises within minutes. If you have a grinder at home, even an inexpensive burr grinder, whole bean is the right call. If you do not have a grinder, choose the ground option that matches your brewer at checkout, and use the bag within 7 to 10 days of opening.

Rough guide: 100 g makes about 5 to 7 cups, 200 g makes about 10 to 14 cups, 250 g (the standard bag size) makes about 13 to 18 cups. I use 15 to 18 g per cup depending on brew method. If you drink one cup a day, a 250 g bag lasts about two weeks at peak freshness.

Yes. Subscription options are set up directly on each product page. Choose the bag size and grind, then pick a subscription frequency at checkout to receive the same coffee on a regular schedule. Subscribers always get the freshest roast in the cycle.
