Store your coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from heat, light, and moisture. Avoid the refrigerator or freezer, as condensation can affect flavor. Whole beans stay fresh for 2-3 weeks after roasting, while ground coffee is best used within 1-2 weeks. For maximum freshness, only grind what you need for each brew.
Every bag of Byte & Bark Brew coffee directly funds service dog training programs. A portion of each sale goes toward training dogs that provide life-changing support to individuals with disabilities. When you enjoy our coffee, you're helping create independence and companionship for those who need it most. It's coffee with a mission.
We stand behind the quality of our coffee. If you're not completely satisfied with your order, contact us within 30 days and we'll make it right with a refund or replacement. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we want you to love every cup.
We source our beans from ethical, sustainable farms in premium coffee-growing regions including Colombia, Uganda, Central America, and South America. We prioritize direct relationships with small family farms and cooperatives that practice environmentally responsible farming. Quality and ethics go hand in hand at Byte & Bark Brew.
Absolutely! Many of our coffees work beautifully for cold brew (try our 6-Bean Blend or Colombia Coffee) and espresso (Italian Roast and Cowboy Blend are favorites). Check the "Brew Recommendations" on each product page for specific guidance. If you're unsure which coffee works best for your brewing method, reach out and we'll help you choose.
Coarse grind for French press and cold brew, medium grind for drip coffee makers and pour-over, fine grind for espresso machines, and extra-fine for Turkish coffee. If you're unsure, choose whole bean and grind fresh at home for the best flavor. Our customer service team can help you select the right grind for your setup.
Since we roast your coffee fresh after you order, please allow 1-2 business days for roasting and packaging, plus standard shipping time (3-5 business days for ground shipping). This ensures your coffee arrives at peak freshness. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout if you need your coffee sooner.
Yes! Set up a coffee subscription to never run out of your favorite blend. Choose your frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), and we'll roast and ship fresh coffee automatically. You can pause, skip, or cancel anytime. Subscribers also get exclusive perks and early access to new blends.
Whole bean coffee stays fresher longer because the beans protect the oils and aromatics inside. Grinding exposes more surface area to air, which speeds up flavor loss. For the best-tasting cup, we recommend buying whole bean and grinding fresh at home. If convenience is key, our ground options are still roasted fresh to order and deliver excellent flavor.
While not all our coffees carry formal certifications, we prioritize ethical sourcing from farms that practice sustainable, environmentally responsible farming. We work directly with small family farms and cooperatives that share our values. Quality, ethics, and fair compensation for farmers are non-negotiable for us.
