FAQ
Oily residues (darker-roasted beans produce more oil than lighter ones) and fractured debris from beans can get lodged in the grinder. Notwithstanding coffee powder and dust can accumulate at every nook. Without proper cleaning and maintenance, the oil and trapped particles can go rancid.
This will eventually damage the coffee overall taste and aroma in future brew. For this reason, when you are using the grinder daily, it is recommended to clean your grinder at these intervals post grind:

Our Coffee
We only serve specialty coffee beans!
Specialty coffee refers to high-quality beans that are carefully cultivated, processed, and graded.
Grown in ideal climates and conditions, these beans are handpicked at peak ripeness. To be considered specialty, coffee beans must achieve a score of 80 or above on a 100-point scale during the rigorous grading process established by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). This process evaluates attributes like aroma, flavor, acidity, body, and balance. Expert roasting techniques are employed to bring out the unique characteristics of each coffee variety, offering exceptional taste and connecting consumers to the origin of these outstanding beans.
Yes, absolutely!
We believe in providing only the best quality and freshly-roasted specialty coffee beans. Hence, our coffee beans are roasted in small batches weekly before being delivered to you.
Our coffee beans are roasted to have the best taste and aroma at around 2 weeks from the date of roast.
Yes, we do offer coffee grounds!
However, we recommend purchasing whole beans and grinding them just before brewing to guarantee the freshest taste and highest quality in each cup.
For the best taste experience, we suggest using your coffee beans within eight weeks from their roast date. This ensures you can savour the coffee's peak flavors and aromas.
To preserve your coffee beans and its aromatics, we recommend storing them away from sunlight, oxygen and moisture. You can use an airtight container, or leave them in NimbusBrew's coffee bags.
Our three-layered coffee bags come with a material barrier that protects our beans from oxygen and light. Additionally, there is a built-in one-way valve that allows oxygen to be discharged from our coffee bags.
