COFFEE & ONLINE ORDERS
WHEN IS COFFEE AT IT’S BEST?
Our testing has led us to believe that filter coffee is best brewed with coffee of between 3 to 14 days after roast. Espresso is best made with coffee that is 7 to 21 days after roast. Coffee is often delicious way after that time though, so don’t throw out older beans!
WHEN WILL YOU ROAST MY SUBSCRIPTION/ONLINE ORDER, AND WHEN WILL IT BE DISPATCHED?
We currently dispatch orders placed online on Tuesday and Thursday via Royal Mail Tracked 48 delivery service (mostly 2 days in UK mainland, 3 days for areas like Isle of Wight).
Orders placed after 10am on Tuesday are shipped on Thursday.
Orders placed after 10am on Thursday are shipped on Tuesday.
Subscriptions are processed on Tuesday and dispatched via Royal Mail and there is no additional shipping charge.
Orders above 2kg are sent with DPD next day service.
We roast on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday therefore your coffee will be no older than 3 days after roast on date of dispatch.
HOW DO I GET THE BEST BREW FROM MY COFFEE?
Please see our brewing guide section for advice and tips on this.
I LIVE OUTSIDE THE UK, CAN I BUY YOUR COFFEE?
Unfortunately we are unable to sell our coffee online to EU countries due to shipping difficulties caused by Brexit.
WHAT WILL THE SHIPPING CHARGE BE LIKE FOR MY ORDER?
We send all our UK orders in cardboard boxes via RM 48 Tracked. The delivery may take up to 7 days (as stated by Royal Mail) although we generally find this service very reliable and majority of parcels are delivered within 48 hours.

WHAT IF I FEEL LIKE THE LAST COFFEE WASN’T THE BEST MATCH FOR ME?
Please let us know via enquiries@campbellandsyme.co.uk what do you think the problem might be? Could we help to recommend a different brewing method or recipe or perhaps it just wasn’t your kind of coffee? We will make sure the next one will be a perfect match!
CAN YOU GRIND THE COFFEE FOR ME?
We can grind the coffee for you, simply select your brewing method before the checkout. The coffee becomes less and less vibrant with time as the aromatic compounds start to disappear into the air. Therefore we recommend to grind your coffee before you brew. We do stock some great grinders.
