  • Are there different types of coffee beans?

    Yes! The two main types of beans are Arabica and Robusta.


    Kokebi Coffee uses Arabica beans: a denser, more aromatic, smoother and all-around premium bean. In other words, it’s the queen of beans.


    Our Arabica beans grow at higher altitudes and are shade-grown. This means they’re not under direct sunlight and are grown under a canopy of trees, creating a more biodiverse environment. This is a really good thing for wildlife, plants and people!

  • Where do Kokebi Coffee beans come from?

    Our beans come from South America, Central America, Africa and Indonesia. Specifically, we buy beans from certified Organic and Fairtrade farming cooperatives in Peru, Colombia, Sumatra, East Timor, Uganda, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras and Ethiopia.

  • Why should I always choose whole beans?

    Beans stay fresher for longer, and so your coffee should taste better, too. As soon as green coffee beans are roasted, they start to release CO2, which affects the taste. They will oxidise and slowly start to go 'stale' and have a flat taste after a while. When coffee is ground, there is a higher surface area which is exposed to oxygen and that will cause them to lose their freshness faster, so it's best to keep coffee beans whole as close to brewing as possible. Treat your coffee beans similarly to potatoes: store them in a dark, dry place. It's best they are kept in a container or the bag they come in to stop oxygen and moisture getting in.

  • Why are some beans oilier than others?

    Coffee oils are naturally brought out during the roasting process. The darker the roast, the more likely the beans are to release their oils. Why? They’re exposed to higher temperatures which brings more natural oils to the surface. That’s why more oils can be seen on medium and dark roasts.

  • How are our coffee beans decaffeinated?

    Kokebi Coffee uses the Swiss Water Process to decaffeinate the beans. This is a chemical-free process that uses only water, temperature, and time to gently remove 99.9% of the caffeine.

  • How to grind coffee beans?

    The best way to grind coffee beans is to use a burr grinder. It will grind your coffee beans evenly, as coarse or as fine as you'd like. The best burr grinders have multiple speeds; the lower speed is best so that no added heat is generated. If you don't have a grinder, use a blender.
