FAQ

How long does coffee stay fresh for?

Fresh coffee is always the best - why we dispatch ours within 7 days of roasting.

Once you have received it, you’ll see the date it was roasted listed on the package. We recommend you enjoy it within 6 weeks of that date if it’s ground coffee, or 2 months for whole beans.

After that date, your coffee won’t 'go bad', but the flavour won’t be as delicious as it should be.

Does coffee actually contain chocolate, caramel, almond etc., called out in the tasting notes?

Tasting notes are used to categorise a coffee’s flavour profile. In other words, they’re a means of describing how the coffee tastes and smells – not ingredients. Tasting notes are influenced by things like origin, soil and the altitude at which the beans are grown, plus processing methods and more.

One thing to keep in mind is that tasting notes are a bit nuanced. Say one of the tasting notes is “lemon” – the coffee might not actually taste like lemon, but it may have a citrus acidity that’s reminiscent of lemon.

A good way to become more familiar with tasting notes is to check out the Specialty Coffee Association(SCA) flavour wheel.

How should I store my coffee?

The best way to store your coffee is in a cool, dark place, right inside your Legacy Coffees bag – they’ve been carefully designed to keep your coffee at its best.

Do you use recyclable or compostable packaging?

Yes! All our 250g and 1kg bags are 100% recyclable and produced in a CO2 neutral way.

What is a blend vs. single origin? 

 A blend is a coffee made up of beans from two or more origins. For example, The Enigna, our signature coffee blend, is made of beans from Brazil and Ethiopia. 

Blends allow roasters to combine beans with different flavour profiles to create something unique. It takes a mix of art and science to find the perfect balance and determine the right roast level to bring out the best of the blend, but it’s well worth the work.

A single origin is a coffee that comes from one specific origin or country. Typically, single origins have unique stand-alone aromas and flavours.
