About this one
Can I choose the coffee grind?
Yes. Pick it above and we will grind the Yirgacheffe to match. The matcha is always a powder.
Is it a good gift?
We think so. Add a note at checkout once the shop is live.
Can I subscribe to the pair?
Yes, every 4, 6 or 8 weeks. Pause, skip or cancel whenever you like.
