How do I use a coupon?

We use coupon codes for certain promotions like free shipping, a free pound of coffee on your next order or a free t-shirt. We currently have free shipping on the Gene Cafe and Bravi roasters (code: freeshipping).
Currently all roasters purchased receive a Free Pound on your next order. The code is located on our flyer that comes with the roaster. To redeem a coupon code simply enter it in the coupon code field located in the shopping cart upon checkout. Don't forget to click the redeem coupon button. It will then add your promotion to your product selection. When you submit freeshipping, it will enter your shipping choice for you.

How does your shipping work?

If you want your order shipped and are not going to pick up your order here, please select a shipping option upon checkout.

Shipping is computed by the shopping cart once you have entered your address information but before you enter your credit card. You will be able to see the shipping charge before finalizing the transaction. We use U.P.S and charge counter rates. We offer ground, three day and second day shipping. All in stock orders are shipped by next business day. You will receive an e-mail from UPS's Quantum View Notify the day your order ships to confirm shipping and provide tracking information.

Are your coffee's fresh?

Our coffees are all current crop and specialty grade 1 except where specialty grade 1 is not available. We are very selective in picking our sources and often go through many samples for each selection.

How does your coffee pricing work?

In general, our five-pound prices are a dollar less per pound than our one-pound price. Our two pound price is fifty cents less per pound.
You will find shipping for ten pounds is just slightly more than shipping for five pounds or less.

We offer our 3 lb. coffee bundles as a cost effective way to try out our coffees.

What do I do if I am having trouble with my roaster?

If your having trouble roasting dark please refer to our home roasting section, Also make sure;

• You are not using an extension cord.
• Your outlet has proper voltage (120v)
• A slightly increased batch size will help the FreshRoast, I-roasts roast darker.
• A slightly decreased batch size will help the Nesco (Zach & Dani) and the Bravi roast darker.
• Roasting outside or in lower ambient temperatures will make it harder to achieve a dark roast.

Also, be sure to check out the home roasting coffee forum www.coffeegeek.com or http://www.lucidcafe.com/homeroast1.html (excerpts from Kenneth Davids Home Coffee Roasting)
