Freshly-ground beans will help you to brew a cup full of flavour, check out our selection of manual and electric coffee grinders.

If you're ordering whole beans, we recommend allowing the coffee to rest for at least 10 days after roast before brewing. If you're ordering ground coffee, use immediately.

Mutheka Farmers Cooperative Society

Created in 2004, the Mutheka Farmers Cooperative Society (MFCS) consists of 6,000 smallholder farmers across Nyeri County and coffees produced by around 2,000 of these are processed at Kiandu - one of the largest factories managed by the Society.

High-quality washed Kenyan coffees typically exhibit vibrant fruit flavours – often blackcurrant or blackberry - and a weighty body, usually expressed as juiciness. This coffee has all of this, making for a cup that you’ll keep going back to again and again.
