How do I change my delivery address?

*If an order has been placed with an incorrect delivery address then you will need to contact us so that we can get this changed on your live order. Changes made to your address in your account will only update future orders.

To update your delivery address you will need to log in to your Rave account. Once you are logged in to your account, click on the 'Addresses' button.

You can 'Edit' an existing address or 'Delete' an old address here. You will also see the facility to 'Add New Address' at the top of the address list.

Ensure 'Set As Default Address' to your new selection for all future orders to be shipped to that address.

If you are not logged into your RAVE Account during a purchase and used "Guest Checkout" the delivery address will be used from your payment provider i.e. PayPal. Please ensure that this has also been changed within your payment provider account.

*Important* If you need to update a delivery address for a subscription order of any kind you will need to update this separately in your 'Manage Subscription' portal. Check out the Managing my subscription FAQ for 'Can I change my delivery address?'

How do I reset my password?

Gift Subscriptions

Can I log in to manage my subscription?

Only the email address associated with the purchase of the original subscription can log in. If you have received the subscription as a gift and want to make a change then contact us and we will be happy to help you.

I’d like to change to whole bean or a different grind type, what do I do?

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.

What changes can RAVE make to my Gift Subscription?

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 delicious coffee each month then why not sign up for a recurring monthly subscription? Just visit our subscription page on the website and select the subscription 'For Me' option.

Roasted Coffee

Can I get samples?

Unfortunately, we don't offer samples, however, why not check out our bundles so that you can try a variety of our coffees.

How long should I rest my coffee for before using?

If you are using the filter method to brew your coffee then it is ready to use from day four onwards after the roast date.
For the espresso brewing method the coffee should be rested for a week to ten days after the roast date before using, but it will further improve in flavour during the week after that.


For best results try to use your coffee within one month of the roast date. The roast date label can be found on the lower rear side of our bags. Coffee is food safe for a very long time but will not be at it's best.


Coffee ordered from Amazon:
The coffee has been nitrogen flushed for the Amazon warehouse and is ready to drink when you receive it. Ignore the roast date and for best results try to use your coffee within one month of opening.

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?

We don't offer this service due to the discount we offer on kilos. We do sell zip lock coffee bags with valves on our website, so you can order a few and split the kg yourself.

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?

Some customers do this and say it has no effect but we personally don't use this method. We would recommend only buying what you can consume within one month.

Keep it fresh!

If you do chose to freeze your beans, grind what you need as you go.

What do you call a dark roast?

This varies from roastery to roastery. We call a coffee a 'dark roast' when we roast it up to the first snaps of second crack. Our dark roasts will never be as dark or oily as some of the ones you may find in the supermarket.

Subscription - General Info

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. The shipping service used is Royal Mail 1st Class Tracked service and you should receive it within 1-2 days after despatch.

Postage is applicable to our 'Subscribe & Save' coffees and the shipping cost will be calculated at checkout. Free shipping for orders of £25 or more applies and this is calculated once any discounts, vouchers or promotions have been applied.

Am I in control? Can I make changes to my subscription without calling you?

Yes, you can. Our recurring customers can log in via their own “Customer Portal” where they have full control. Gift customers will need to contact us direct or send an email to info@ravecoffee.co.uk to arrange for any changes to be made.

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.


You then choose who you would like this to go to and fill in the recipients details in the shipping address option. You will be given the option to gift wrap and add a message during the checkout process. You are also able to select the date that you want to subscription to start on.

We despatch the coffee once per month on the anniversary date of the start of the subscription. The coffee that will be sent is the 'Roastery’s Choice' coffee, meaning the recipient will receive a different bag of coffee each month.

Please refer to our Gift Subscription FAQs for further details.

A recurring subscription is a pay as you go subscription to either our Traditional or Discovery Roastery's Choice or both. Your credit card is charged each time a bag of coffee is despatched. You can choose how many bags of the Traditional or Discovery subscription you want to receive in each delivery. You are also able to make other changes to your subscription from your personal “Customer Portal”.

What is the difference between Discovery or Traditional Coffee Subscription?

The difference is purely in the type of coffee that you receive and not the way in which the subscription works.

Discovery - These coffees are clean, balanced and distinct in flavour. Often roasted lighter to preserve origin character and best drank black.

Traditional - These coffees are aromatic, rich and full-bodied. Roasted medium or dark. Drink black or with milk.

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

They are sent by Royal Mail Tracked post, so if the package does not fit through the letterbox and you are not in to take delivery a 'Sorry We Missed You' calling card will be put through your door giving instructions on where to collect the parcel or to rearrange delivery for a date that is convenient for you.

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.
