Moisture content changes are recorded daily to ensure even and effective drying, in turn ensuring the long-term quality of the lots."

Delicious surprises in every box!

Rise Coffee Box has elevated my mornings. Every month, I get to explore incredible roasters and unique blends I’d never find on my own.

The quality is always top notch (and freshly roasted) and the variety keeps it exciting - the tasting notes are a thoughtful addition.

... And I always look forward to the monthly surprise from one of Rise's exciting collaborators.

Highly recommend!

My favourite ever subscription!

If you are debating whether to commit to a new subscription, I cannot recommend Rise Coffee Box enough!! We have been subscribers since they were first founded and have never been disappointed. Every month we get to try a new delicious coffee (which we otherwise never would have found!), as well as sample a hand picked treat which is different in each box! I love the fact we get to learn something new about coffee farming and the roasters each month. Such a great and fun subscription!!

Great coffee every month

Really enjoying trying new coffee each month! The extra treat in the box is also a nice touch as there's been chocolates I've liked that I wouldn't have come across before : )

Proper premium coffee

I am a coffee snob, love trying different types of coffee. The fact that it is from a sustainable and ethical provenance is a massive factor for us as a family. Great coffee to your door, win win. 5 stars from us

The origin card with the information is very useful and had it not been for this box I would not have tried the kombucha that came with my coffee great over all
