  • Ground Cafetiere - This is pre-ground and ready to go. Ideal for classic French presses or cafetieres.
  • Medium Ground - Perfect for pour over and filter coffee. Think: Chemex and V60 designs.
  • Fine Ground - Best for espresso machines or moka pots.

Whatever grind you choose, rest assured all of our coffee is of the highest quality, 100% Arabica specialty. It’s 84+ SCA scored, and is freshly roasted to order.

Friendly Coffee makes a difference!

At RISE, we’re raising the bar for coffee by making it bold, ethical, and responsible. With 1% of every sale supporting our Friendly Coffee Fund, we directly give back to coffee farming communities in Uganda, providing education for children in need. We work exclusively with responsible roasters who share our commitment to sustainability and fair trade practices.

As coffee lovers, we personally taste-test every batch from independent UK roasters to ensure only the most exceptional beans make it into our cups. We’re proving that coffee can be both incredible and impactful, making a difference with every sip.

FAQs

100%! A RISE coffee box subscription is completely flexible. Simply create an account at checkout and you can login anytime to pause, delay orders, skip your next order, update any details or cancel your order. You are in full control.

The short answer is YES! We work closely with our roasting partners to ensure the coffee reaches you as quickly as possible after its roasting date. This is usually within 3-4 days, so we can guarantee it will smell and taste great. Specialty coffee should be left to settle for 6-10 days before drinking.

Each month we feature two new coffees from two different roasters. We really try to ensure that we take you on a journey of discovery with different origins that are in season with interesting and exciting flavour notes. The coffees are generally medium to medium dark roasted and bold, balanced, smooth. We try to include a variety of tasting notes for you to enjoy. See our previous partners here. All coffee is exceptionally high quality and tastes tested by RISE (we have regular cupping sessions, a head roaster who gives his approval, a taste test panel of subscribers and Ben and Alice give the final go ahead!)

All coffees are great for filter or espresso (omni roasted) and work in your V60, cafetiere, chemex, espresso machine and more!

Every month we feature two different coffees from two different roasters. The coffee is usually a mix of medium to medium dark coffee and suitable for espresso based drinks as well as filter. All coffee is 'omni roasted' which means it has been roasted to suit both methods. Ben is a filter coffee drinker and Alice is an espresso drinker, so we both give our approval that it works before it goes into the RISE box!

Your coffee will come in its original packaging from our coffee partners. At RISE coffee box we are all about showcasing our roasting partners, their stories and the beans they roast. This also means we don’t re-bag the coffee, keeping it fresh and allowing us to be more sustainable with our packaging. Our RISE box is made from reused materials and is recyclable.

We aim for all deliveries to be received within 3-5 working days however we generally ship same day or next with a 48 hour courier. This can be slightly longer around busy festive seasons or bank holidays.

Whatever you like! You can order whole bean coffee or ground coffee from us. We recommend ordering whole beans as this maintains the freshness of the beans and flavour. If you don’t have a grinder, select ‘ground’ and we’ll send it ready for you to use in your cafetiere or plunger. Check out our blog post on which option is best to order for you.

Alice and Ben have set up the Friendly Coffee Fund to give back 1% of all sales to help eradicate child labour in coffee farming communities. Our first project is in Uganda where so far we have enrolled children in nearly 3000 days of school!
