Before you commit

Questions that usually stop the first order

The questions below address the most common reasons customers hesitate: freshness, grind, shipping, subscriptions, taste, and what happens if the first bag is not the right fit.
✓ One-time purchase available✓ Roasted after you order✓ Whole bean or ground options✓ Direct support if it is not right
Is this a subscription, or can I buy it once?
You can place a one-time order. A subscription is only added when you deliberately select a subscription option before adding the coffee to your cart.
When will my coffee be roasted?
Bilge Brew roasts after the order is placed rather than pulling an old bag from a warehouse shelf. Your order is then prepared for shipment.
Which grind should I choose?
Choose the option that matches your brewer. Whole bean gives you the most control and is the best choice when you own a grinder. Select ground coffee when you want it ready to brew.
How much will shipping cost, and when will it arrive?
The available shipping methods, cost, and estimated delivery timing are shown before you complete checkout. The coffee is roasted before it is handed off to the carrier.
What if this roast is too dark, too light, or not for me?
Use the roast level, tasting notes, body, and brew-fit information on this page before choosing. If your first bag is not worth switching for, contact Bilge Brew and we will work to make it right.
Will this coffee taste bitter or burnt?
The taste profile above tells you how much roast character to expect. Brew method, water temperature, ratio, and grind also affect bitterness, so start with your normal recipe and adjust coarser if the cup tastes harsh.
How should I store the coffee after it arrives?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Avoid the refrigerator, where moisture and food odors can affect the coffee.
Can I change, skip, or cancel a subscription?
When a subscription is selected, its management options and billing terms are shown by the subscription service. Use your customer account or the management link provided after purchase to make changes.
Still unsure about the right roast? Send Bilge Brew a question before ordering. A direct answer is better than buying the wrong coffee.
