Roaster's Choice

Pre–Aged Single Origin

Ready To Brew

We’ll choose a ‘lucky’ bag of single origin that is close to or early in our recommended brewing window so you can start brewing right away.

Flavour: ...surprise!

We get it; sometimes you just need coffee that is ready to brew straight away, already in its peak flavour and acidity. This product is for you!


What you get

  • A bag of beans that are close to or within our recommended brewing window
  • Origin and producer selected by our roasting team from what’s available at the time
  • Similar qualities/price range (so no VS, sorry!)
  • Only whole beans
  • Returns for change of mind on this product won’t be accepted (please purchase only if you’re OK receiving any of our single origins)

If you have any origin or flavour profile requests, just add them as a note on checkout. We’ll do our best to match it; however, it’ll be subject to stock levels.


Why pre-aged beans?

When you buy any of our blend or single origins, we roast and ship them on the very same day. When you receive your beans a few days later, these are still ‘too fresh'—they haven’t yet reached our recommended brewing window (different for decaf, blends and single origin).

When you buy pre-aged beans, you can start brewing straight away, knowing that the coffee will be at its peak flavour and acidity development.

Our coffee philosophy
Our business approach

Fresh harvest coffee

We only source and roast coffee from each country’s latest harvest season (so the green coffee is never older than 1 year from the time of picking, processing and packing). This ensures the sensory qualities are always at their peak and unaffected by excessive ageing.

Roasted for espresso and filter (best enjoyed black)

Roast style: omni. Omni roasts are designed to brew and taste great both as espresso and filter. Our omni single origins generally sit on Agtron values in the ~70-60 value range. So, technically, they are somewhere in the lighter side of the medium spectrum.

Designed for espresso and filter brewing. Best enjoyed black.

Best brewed within days 15-49 post-roast

The ‘fresh is best’ saying doesn’t apply to coffee (contrary to popular belief). Waiting before opening and brewing your bag of whole coffee beans helps develop peak flavour and acidity.

But heads up: if you buy pre-ground coffee, brew it as soon as possible.

Try our custom brewing recipes

Our recipes and ratios are tailored to our coffee sourcing and roasting styles, bringing the best flavour and feel out of each coffee.

For pour over, immersion, and other filter brewing styles, check our brew guides.
For our espresso single origins, we recommend a coffee:yield ratio of 1:3:

  • Dose: 20g ground coffee
  • Yield: 60g espresso
  • Total brew time: ~24-28 seconds

This is just a starting point! We encourage you to experiment, taste, and adjust to find the recipe that you enjoy the most.
