Fresh coffee is happy coffee. For the best flavour, whole beans are at their peak within 2–3 weeks of roasting. Ground coffee? It’s a little more impatient, staying fresh for just 1–2 weeks. (A good reason to grind as you go!)
Stored right—think an airtight container, away from heat, light, and moisture—whole beans can hold up for about 3 months. But honestly, who’s letting coffee sit around that long?
At Quists, we roast our beans fresh and seal them tight to lock in all that glorious flavour. So when they land on your doorstep, they’re as good as the day they left our roaster. The only question is: how fast will you brew them?
Coffee deserves a little TLC to stay at its best. Here’s how to keep those beans fresh and flavourful:
At Quists Coffee, we roast fresh and package our beans in high-quality valve-sealed bags to preserve their flavour until you’re ready to brew. Show your coffee some love, and it’ll repay you in every sip.
Getting the grind size just right is the key to unlocking your coffee’s best flavour. Here’s a quick guide to match your grind to your brewing method:
At Quists, we’ve got you covered with pre-ground options tailored to your brewing style—or whole beans if you like to grind fresh at home. Because when it comes to coffee, every detail matters.
Cold brew is coffee brewed slowly with cold water, usually over 12–24 hours. This method extracts smooth, rich flavours without the bitterness or acidity of hot brewing. The result? A refreshing, naturally sweet coffee that’s perfect served over ice or mixed with milk.
Quists Coffee offers premium beans that are perfect for cold brew—try our darker roasts for chocolatey notes or lighter roasts for a bright, fruity kick. Ready to brew? Let us help you chill out with the perfect cup.
Yes, coffee can be good for you! In fact, research shows that moderate coffee consumption may:
At Quists Coffee, we like to think of our beans as little superheroes in disguise—tackling fatigue while bringing a little joy to your day. Drink up, and let the benefits unfold.
If your coffee’s a little too zingy for your liking, don’t worry—there are a few simple tricks to dial down the acidity:
At Quists Coffee, we have blends to suit every taste—from bright, citrusy brews to rich, chocolatey cups. Some low acidity coffees are our Colombia and crowd favourite, Quists Own Blend.
For the average person, 3-5 cups of coffee a day is considered safe and even beneficial for health, as it can lower the risk of certain diseases. However, at Quists, we say: “Who’s counting?” As long as you’re enjoying responsibly and not swimming in your coffee cup, we support your coffee enthusiasm to infinity and beyond.
Yes, coffee typically packs more caffeine than tea. A standard cup of coffee contains around 95mg of caffeine, while black tea has about 47mg, and green tea a bit less, at around 28mg.
So, if you’re after a bigger boost, coffee is your go-to. And with Quists Coffee’s premium beans, you’re not just getting a caffeine kick—you’re treating yourself to a full-bodied flavour experience too. Tea’s great, but let’s be honest: it’s not coffee.
To get the best out of your Quists Coffee, having the right brewing gear makes all the difference. Here’s what we recommend for an exceptional coffee experience:
We also offer a range of brewing accessories to enhance your coffee ritual. Check out our store to explore everything you need to make each cup truly special.
If you’re just starting your coffee journey, keep it simple. A French press or pour-over system (like a Melitta filter, Chemex or Hario V60) is beginner-friendly, affordable, and delivers a quality brew without the bells and whistles. Prefer a bit more convenience? A reliable drip coffee maker is a great choice.
No matter what you pick, pair it with freshly roasted Quists Coffee beans for the best results. Our team is always here to help you find the perfect setup for your coffee style.
The best time to enjoy coffee depends on your routine, but experts suggest drinking it mid-morning—around 9:30–11:30 a.m.—when your cortisol levels naturally dip. Looking for a productivity boost? A cup in the early afternoon can help beat the post-lunch slump.
With Quists Coffee, every time is a good time. From an energising espresso in the morning to a mellow cold brew on a sunny afternoon, we’ve got the perfect roast for whenever you need a coffee moment.
The amount of caffeine in coffee can vary depending on the type of bean, brewing method, and serving size. On average:
Quists Coffee ensures that every bean is packed with enough caffeine to power your mornings, but not enough to keep you awake pondering life’s mysteries all night… unless you go for that third cup of espresso.
Fair trade coffee is all about ensuring that farmers and workers are paid fairly for their hard work and enjoy ethical working conditions. It also supports sustainable farming practices that protect both the environment and future generations.
At Quists Coffee, we’re proud to champion fair trade and sustainability. After all, great coffee should taste good and do good—because we believe the world deserves the best, just like your taste buds.
For French press perfection, go for coffee with a bold, full-bodied flavour. Medium to dark roasts work best, as they deliver those rich, chocolatey and nutty notes that shine in this brewing method. Look for coarsely ground coffee—fine grounds can sneak through the mesh filter and ruin your cup.
At Quists Coffee, we offer expertly roasted beans tailored for French press brewing. We would recommend our award winning blend, Miscela Italiana for your french press needs!
