Frequently Asked Questions
Everything on this page. Five coffees as whole bean or ground: Single Origin, George Street Blend, Donna Blend, Fruitopia Blend and Peru Negrisa Organic Decaf. Four Nespresso compatible pod blends: House, Classic, Decaf and Fruitopia. Organic Cold Brew and Craft Instant Coffee. Gift subscriptions for coffee and pods. And bulk office subscriptions for a workplace.
George Street is our most popular: chocolate, berries and butterscotch, easy to drink and hard to get wrong. Donna is darker and rounder, with dark chocolate, caramel and walnut. Fruitopia is the adventurous one, watermelon, citrus and vanilla. All three are lightly roasted, so they taste brighter than a supermarket blend.
A different one each time. Our roasting team picks a single origin for every delivery, so you shouldn't receive the same coffee twice in a row. Over a year you'll work through different countries, processing methods and flavour profiles without having to choose any of it yourself.
House Blend is the balanced everyday option: chocolate, caramel and red berries. Classic Blend is a darker roast for a richer, more intense cup, with dark chocolate, molasses and almond. Decaf gives you the same character without the caffeine, decaffeinated using the Swiss Water process. Fruitopia is the fruit-forward one, peach, caramel and floral. All four are certified organic, compostable, and fit original style Nespresso machines rather than Vertuo.
A 1kg bag works out ten per cent cheaper than buying four 250g bags of the same coffee, so it's the better value if you drink a lot. The trade-off is freshness: coffee is at its best in the weeks after roasting, so unless you're getting through it quickly, two or three 250g deliveries will taste better than one 1kg. The 250g also fits through a letterbox and the 1kg doesn't.
Yes. You can change the coffee, the bag size and the grind on an existing subscription from your subscription account, without cancelling and starting again. Your frequency, delivery address and payment details stay exactly as they are.
Yes. You can run as many subscriptions as you like from one account, each with its own coffee, size and delivery schedule. If you want a blend you already know plus the Single Origin for variety, or pods running alongside bags, that works.
Yes. Our taster packs give you three different coffees as 100g bags, in whole bean or any of our three grinds. The Comforter pack is £14.40, the Colombian £15.30 and the Explorer £16.80. There's a Pod Taster Pack at £19.20 too. They're a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, and they make a good gift.
Keep coffee in an airtight container somewhere cool and dark, away from sunlight and the hob. Don't refrigerate it, as coffee picks up other smells and condensation does it no favours. Whole bean keeps its flavour longer than ground, which is the main argument for grinding at home. Pods are sealed individually, so the box is all the protection they need.
Email the roastery at roasting@kissthehippo.com and we'll sort it. You can also change the grind yourself for the next delivery from your subscription account. We offer coarse for cafetière and filter, medium for drip, and fine for espresso, plus whole bean if you'd rather grind at home.
