GENERAL

  • Our 220g coffee bags are made from plants and are 100% commercially compostable and biodegradable!

    The bag materials are not recyclable, so please dispose of them either in your kerbside food waste or garden waste bin.

  • We have done our very best to make our packing materials as eco-friendly as we can.

    Our small mailers are are made from FSC certified recycled wood pulp and are both compostable and kerbside recyclable.

    Larger orders are sent out in cardboard boxes made of FSC certified materials and sealed shut with paper packing tape.

    For void filling, we use recycled kraft packing paper and for more fragile items that need additional protection in transit (typically glass and ceramic items), we will add recycled bubble-wrap. For larger spaces, we also like to use empty coffee sacks.

    We will occasionally up-cycle packaging materials sent to us by other suppliers to ensure we're reusing everything that we can. If you receive any upcycled packaging materials with your order, we would encourage you to please try and reuse them yourself too.

  • Yes, please email shop@federalcafe.co.uk or use the online chat feature on the website.

  • We recommend letting our coffee rest for 5-7 days after the roast date to de-gas, and then using within 4 weeks for the very best results.

    After this, things will still be super tasty for around 6 weeks but as a fresh, natural product the beans will begin to go stale over time.

    You can absolutely still brew them safely after that date but they'll start to taste a bit less shiny so please aim to use everything within 12 months of the roast date.

    We recommend storing all our coffees in an airtight container (like the resealable bags they come in) away from sunlight, heat, moisture, and strong odours to keep them at their best for as long as possible.

  • No, they do not. If you have allergies or dietary requirements that necessitate avoiding things like dairy, nuts, fruits etc then you do not need to worry.

    The descriptors that we use for our coffees are just a way of communicating the things that we think each coffee tastes like. All of our coffees are 100% unadulterated and the flavours present are created by the type of coffee plant, where it's grown, how it's processed, and how it's roasted - no additions of other things, just 100% roasted coffee in the bags and nothing else :)

    Our production facility is compliant with all HACCP and Environmental Health requirements relating to food safety and allergens. If you require more information, please get in touch at shop@federalcafe.co.uk
