Frequently asked questions.
Coffee
Q: What is each grind used for?
A: Each grind of coffee is ideally meant for different uses. Following is what we suggest you use each grind for:
Auto Drip: regular coffee pot
Espresso (Fine): espresso machine
Q: Does coffee have an expiration date?
A: On average a bag of coffee should last typically 3 to 5 months if stored properly.
Q:How should I store my coffee?
A: All our coffee comes fresh in sealed valve lock bags. If you do not want to use it immediately it is suggested that you leave it in the sealed valve lock bag until you’re ready to begin use. Once you open the bag it is recommended to pour the coffee in a canister with a sealed lid. Coffee should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place, like a cabinet.
Q: How much should I use when brewing?
A: The amount of coffee you should use is dependent upon how strong you want your coffee to be. Typically, about 1.5oz is brewed in a 10-12 cup auto drip coffee pot. Remember that the more coffee you use when brewing with increase the strength of the finished product.
White Coffee
Q: How is Wired Willey’s White Coffee used?
A: Wired WIlley’s White Coffee is primarily used in espresso machines, but it can also be used in a french press or drip coffee machine. We remind all of our customers to not tamp white coffee, as it expands when water is added. In a drip coffee maker or French press we recommend that you fill your basket/carafe with about 1/3 or 1/2 the usual amount of “traditional roasted” coffee. Then you can adjust the amount to your own taste.
Q: How much caffeine does white coffee have?
A: The amount of caffeine in our white coffee depends a lot on how you prepare it. Extraction time, quantity and temperature all will affect caffeine content.
Q: Does white coffee really have less acidity?
A: In short— YES! We have heard many ‘testimonials’ from customers that thought they had to give up coffee due to the havoc it wreaked on their stomachs. Due to lower acidity content in our white coffee, many people have been able to enjoy white coffee with no issues.
Q: What pairs well with white coffee?
A: Our favorites are white chocolate, vanilla. hazelnut, lavender, and raspberry which all compliment the flavor profile of our white coffee. A helpful tip is to look for any flavor that goes well with a ‘nutty, earthy’ brew.
Shipping
Q: How long does it take for my coffee order to arrive?
A: Typically, your order will leave our warehouse in one to two business days. Shipping time is dependent on where the order is being shipped and how busy USPS and UPS are. Roughly it should take 3 to 5 business days.
Q: What is your shipping policy?
A: Domestic — We ship via UPS Ground and USPS for both business and residential customers. We charge our customers only what is charged to us, with no additional handling fees. At this time, we are not able to ship internationally.
