We need to change this for you.  Please contact us with the details that you want to change.

I have just received a bag of coffee as a subscription gift, what happens next?

There is nothing that you need to do. The subscription will run for the specified term as indicated on the note in your first box.

Sit back and enjoy delivery of a new coffee each month on the anniversary date of your first delivery.

We will also let you know when you are on your last delivery so if you wish to receive more you can visit our website to create your own subscription.

If you need to make any changes then get in touch and we would be happy to help.

RAVE can make the following changes to your gift subscription for you:

- Update your delivery address
- Change your next delivery date
- Pause your deliveries
- Change to whole bean or a different grind type
- Change from a Discovery to Traditional coffee selection, or vice versa. (To read more about the selections, see the FAQ 'Whats the difference between Discovery or Traditional Coffee Subscriptions').
Contact us here if you need changes made.

When does my subscription expire?

It will expire after 3, 6 or 12 months. You should have received a note in the first delivery indicating which subscription length you have been gifted.

If you need this confirmed then please contact us.

What happens when my subscription comes to an end?

If you want to still keep receiving coffee each month, it's as easy as setting up your own subscription. Just visit our subscription page on the website and select the subscription 'For Me' option. If you’re good for now, the subscription will automatically expire after the last order.

Roasted Coffee

Can I get samples?

When it comes to samples, we've put a lot of thought into how we can best serve our customers' without compromising on the quality and experience. We've found that our 250g bags are the ideal size to truly get to know the coffee's profile. Anything smaller, we've found that it becomes a challenge to dial in the perfect shot on machines. So if its your first time ordering from Rave we do have some Taster Packs on our website which contain some of our most popular beans.

How long should I rest my coffee for before using?

For the ultimate coffee experience, we recommend resting your beans for around 7-10 days and using within 3 months of that roast date. You can still enjoy it up to a year later, but the flavours might mellow out over time.


How should I store my coffee?

We recommend storing in a cool, dark place away from excessive heat, a kitchen cupboard or pantry works fine. Try to minimise exposure to air and moisture, so avoid the fridge.

Perhaps check out our Airscape Coffee Storage options, they keep your coffee fresh and look good too! Click here to view the range.

I've ordered a kilo, can you split this into 250g bags please?

Unfortunately we don’t offer this service. However we do sell Zip Lock Bags with a degassing valve, if you want to split the kg yourself. Click here to find out more.

My coffee beans looks lighter than I expected?

The Loring coffee roaster we use at Rave roasts the beans from the inside out. The beans may look a slightly lighter roast level than they actually are.

To get a true indication of the roast level, we recommend that you grind a small sample.

My coffee tastes sour or very bitter.

This could be down to how the coffee has been brewed - also known as the extraction. Please see our recommended brewing guides for some pointers. It could also be that the coffee is too fresh after roasting, see the FAQ for "How long should I rest my coffee for before using?"

Click here for brew guides.

Should I store coffee in the freezer?

We wouldn’t recommend this, as smells and moisture from the freezer can affect the overall taste. If you do choose to freeze your beans, store completely air tight and grind as you go.

What do you call a dark roast?

This varies from roastery to roastery. Our dark roasts are roasted to the first snaps of ‘the second crack’. Rave’s dark roasts will never be as dark or oily as some of the beans you may find in the supermarket.

Am I locked into my coffee Subscription?

No, of course not. You can cancel at anytime directly from your customer portal. We’d be much happier if you stayed so if you need help or want to make changes please contact us and we will do all we can to help.

Is postage included in the price?

Postage is included in the price of our 'Monthly Box' and 'Gift Subscriptions' only.

Can I make changes to my subscription?

Customers with recurring subscriptions can login to their subscription anytime. From there you can make as many changes as you need!

What is the difference between a Gift Subscription and a Recurring Subscription?

A gift subscription is prepaid i.e. you pay for the entire subscription upfront either 3, 6 or 12 months. A recurring subscription is a pay as you go!

What is the difference between Discovery or Traditional Coffee Subscription?

Discovery: These coffees are like a clean, balanced flavour adventure. These are generally a medium roast to let their original character shine through. We think these are best enjoyed black (but of course, it's all up to personal preference).

Traditional: These coffees are like a flavour-packed journey. We roast them to be aromatic, rich, and full-bodied and will generally be a dark roast. These are usually pretty good all rounders that you can enjoy them black or with a splash of milk.

We switch up the coffee each calendar month, this means that if you're getting deliveries more often than that, you might see some repeats. And if you order multiple bags at once, they'll all be the same coffee.

Do you post subscriptions outside of the UK?

We have currently suspended our international shipments but are working hard to get this service back in place. If you have any questions in the meantime then please do get in touch.

How fresh will my coffee be?

We roast our subscription coffee three times per week, you’ll receive the coffee from the nearest roast date - so in perfect timing for your coffee to be rested and ready to drink when it arrives.

Will the coffee fit through my letterbox?

We have designed the subscription box to be narrow to fit through most letterboxes although some mailboxes still do cause issues. The measurements of our subscription boxes are - Height: 40mm, Width: 180mm, Length: 260mm. If you are ordering more than one bag of subscription coffee your delivery will be sent out in a larger box which will be too large to fit through a letterbox.

How often do you change the ‘Roastery's Choice” coffee?

The coffee is changed each calendar month, if you select a delivery rate more frequently than this, then you may periodically receive delivery of the same coffee. If you order more than one bag at a time then they will be the same coffee.

I have a reward/ discount code, how can I apply it?

Rewards and discounts are not applicable to gift subscriptions.

If you have a recurring 'Monthly Box' or a 'Subscribe and Save' subscription contact us and we can apply this for you!

When will the coffee be ready to drink?

For filter, cafetière etc it should be perfectly rested and ready to drink when you receive the coffee. It is usually day four after roasting that coffee is ready to use for filter.

Espresso will be ready to drink seven to ten days after the roast date and will further improve in the following two weeks.

For best results enjoy your coffee within a calendar month of the roast date. The roast date label can be found on the lower rear side of our bags.
