Coffee/Coffee Subscription
What is Brew Methods Home?
Brew Methods Home is a coffee subscription – freshly roasted coffee delivered straight to your door each month. Each box contains 1 bag of our signature Hinata Filter Blend + 1 bag of micro-lot coffee, in either 2 x 150 grams or 2 x 250 grams, depending on your desired volume.
How is the coffee roasted?
Brew Methods Home is exclusively roasted for filter, meaning the roasting style is designed to complement filter coffee brewing methods. It’s typically lighter, helping to bring out the coffee’s natural characteristics. We currently do not offer any Espresso roasted coffee.
Where is your coffee roasted?
All of our coffee is sourced and roasted in-house by our team in Melbourne. Every batch that we roast is thoroughly tasted and evaluated for quality prior to dispatch. All of our coffee is roasted 1 – 2 days prior to dispatch to assure maximum freshess by the time it reaches you. If for some reason you’re dissatisfied with your coffee, please let us know and we’re happy to address it.
When will I be charged?
Brew Methods Home runs on a monthly direct debit billing cycle, set to the 1st of every month. If you purchased or wish to purchase a Brew Methods Home subscription, you will not be charged until the next billing cycle. The first charge is display on the product page, and you can also view your billing cycles, update payment methods in Your Account > Subscriptions.
If your card declines, you will receive a notification from us prompting you to update your payment method. If we do not receive payment from you within 5 days of the billing cycle (1st of the month), you will be skipped that month.
When will I receive my coffee?
All Brew Methods Home orders are dispatched on the 5th day of each month, this allows customers a 5-day grace period to allocate funds should their card decline on the billing cycle (1st day of the month).
All orders are shipped exclusively with Australia Post. Domestic (Australia) orders typically arrive within 1 – 4 days, depending on your location. International orders may take 1 – 4 weeks to arrive, depending on your location.
Tracking is provided with every shipment.
How is the coffee packed?
Our coffee is packed in either 150 gram or 250 gram soft plastic bags, depending on your chosen volume and then placed inside a cardboard box. The bags are fully recyclable at any soft plastic recycling centre, and the box can be curb-side recycled.
Our coffee bags do not feature a one-way valve because the valves are made from hard plastic and therefore cannot be recycled. We do not heat-seal our bags so the beans can degas during transit. Our bags feature a sturdy zip-lock for reliable storage.
How long can my coffee last on the shelf?
We recommend consuming our coffee within 3 – 4 weeks from receiving it, however it has a shelf-life of up to 1 year. If you plan on storing your coffee for longer than the recommended period, we suggest storing it in an air-tight container away from sunlight, or vacuum-sealing and storing in your freezer.
