Learn about your coffee, packaging and best brewing tips
Looks like you have one of our coffee bags in your hands. Sweet!
Here, you’ll find everything about it, whether you’re after the producers’ story, our recommended brewing dates and recipes, or instructions on how to responsibly dispose of the packaging.
1. Find your coffee’s origin and story
Our bag labels feature a minimum of traceability and flavour profile information.
Our website shares the full story, transparency data, images and more for every different coffee (single origins and also blends). Each have their own dedicated info page:
A Sample Coffee single origin bag.
A dedicated coffee info page for one of our single origins.
How to find each coffee’s dedicated info page:
- Scan the QR code on the bottom-right corner of each bag label (see demo).
- Search your origin or blend using our Find my coffee tool.
- If the blend/single origin is currently available for retail, you’ll find it on our coffee page.
2. Learn about your packaging
While flavour is our priority, we care about our environmental impact. That’s why we always seek a balance between quality performance and environmental footprint, seeking trusted certifications rather than passing trends.
Our coffee bean bags are:
- Home compostable certified AS 5810-2010 by the Australian Bioplastics Association
- Made from plant-based materials
- Supplied by Ecobarista
- Learn more about our choice and the ABA certification
How to dispose of your bag:
1. Tear off and recycle the front label (not compostable yet).
2. Remove the rear valve (only on 400-500g and 1 kg bags) and put it in the general waste.
3. Compost the remaining bag at home or via your council’s organics collection (if available).
4. Coffee grounds can go in your compost or food organics bin; otherwise, general waste is fine.
3. Brew the best Sample Coffee
We believe anyone can make delicious coffee with the right knowledge and tools. So we’ve spent some time building resources to help you make the most of our beans, tailored to our sourcing and roasting style.

FAQs
Do I need to finish my coffee within a certain time?
Each coffee is different, as roasting style affects longevity and development. See our brewing window guide to learn the best time to brew your beans (or scan the QR code in our labels to get the specific date, linked to each bag roast date.
Are all your bags compostable?
Yes. Since July 2024, all sizes are made with certified home-compostable materials. Some older stock may still appear until fully phased out.
Where can I learn more about my specific coffee?
Scan the QR code on your bag or use our find my coffee tool.
Why is my coffee bag puffy like a balloon?
In short: because they don’t have a release valve to reduce waste (but the bag strength and coffee quality are OK). Read more on this journal post about puffy bafs.
