I’m not 100% happy with my order. What return options are available?

We will provide a full refund for equipment if it is returned to us unused and in its original packaging. Unfortunately we cannot accept returns for coffee orders, since it is a fresh and perishable product. We cannot guarantee that orders will be redirected if the incorrect shipping address has been provided. Please contact us for more information.

What is ‘fresh roasted’ coffee and how long will my coffee last for?

By fresh roasted, we mean that the coffee we send you is sent within 48 hours of being roasted. By the time the coffee arrives at your doorstep, say 3-5 days after roasting, it is still fresh, rested and ready to use. We find that well roasted and well-stored coffee is at its best between 5 days and 1 month after roasting.

How should I store my coffee?

We recommend storing whole bean coffee in its original bag, tied down with the attached tin-tie to form an airtight pocket. Alternatively, try out Japanese made coffee canister. Store the coffee in a cool dry place (a cupboard works perfectly) and most definitely not in the fridge or freezer!

Can I order my coffee pre-ground?

While we will always suggest grinding your coffee immediately before brewing for the best possible cup, we recognise that this is not always possible. If you would like your coffee ground, simply select your grind preference on the product page. We will be more than happy to oblige and can ground your coffee for any device from espresso machine to Aeropress.

WeForest

Who is WeForest?

WeForest is an international non-profit association founded with the mission to create and promote a pioneer movement in large scale sustainable reforestation. In 2016 Dukes partnered with WeForest and have since planted over 30,000 trees in Seret, Ethiopia. Visit our WeForest page for more information or visit weforest.org.

Why is planting trees important?

While reducing carbon emissions is critical, research suggests that even if carbon dioxide emissions came to a sudden halt, the carbon dioxide already in the Earth’s atmosphere could continue to warm our planet for hundreds of years. The global efforts are not going to be sufficient to keep global warming and its dramatic effects – such as spread of infectious diseases like dengue fever, more frequent and stronger floods and droughts – under control. Global emissions must peak at the latest by 2020 and the excess carbon dioxide must be removed from the atmosphere as soon as possible.

A simple solution exists that will buy us time until a low carbon economy is available everywhere. According to a study by the University of Oxford, healthy and growing forests remain the best technology for removing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reverse global warming.

How can I plant trees through Dukes Coffee?

Dukebox: the Dukes recurring coffee subscription where one tree will be planted for every delivery.
