Coffee questions before you buy

Answers about product options, shipping, and purchase terms.
✓ Choose your options✓ Veteran owned✓ Available formats listed above✓ Contact Nathan with questions
Which grind should I choose?
Choose the grind that matches your brewer. Whole bean gives you the most control if you grind at home. We offer pre-ground for all our coffees, which is perfect for most home brewers.
Is this bitter?
Bitterness depends on roast, grind, water temperature, and brew time. Use the taste snapshot and brew guidance above before choosing.
Is this acidic?
Check the roast level, origin, and flavor notes above. If you dislike bright cups, avoid products described as fruity, citrusy, or light.
When is it roasted?
After your order comes in, we roast it and ship it out within 2-4 business days.
Is this a subscription?
One-time purchase is the default. Subscriptions are always optional but ship free and have exclusive discounts.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping times vary and are controlled by the carrier, but generally takes 3-6 days.
How should I store the coffee after it arrives?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Avoid the refrigerator, where moisture and food odors can affect the coffee.
Can I change, skip, or cancel a subscription?
When a subscription is selected, its management options and billing terms are shown by the subscription service. Use your customer account or the management link provided after purchase to make changes.

I think it a great medium brew. It’s not overwhelming but has a volume in a centered flavor.

This particular blend, left a strange aftertaste. I like my coffee strong, and this blend was not good...

Richard, thank you for the honest feedback. Just to clarify for anyone reading, this is a single-origin coffee rather than a blend. That said, the finish clearly wasn’t a match for your taste. Poseidon's Wrath is from Sumatra and is often recognized and loved for its earthy notes and is not for everyone. Also, I appreciate you giving another roast from our lineup a try (General Quarters). That is our top selling roast for drip-brewing. I hope it delivers the stronger profile you were looking for. If not, let me know what you normally drink and how you brew it, and I am confident I can find something to suit your taste.
Thanks for trying out Bilge Brew.

After my prior fresh roasted coffee supplier sold out and their quality tanked, I have spent months searching for a new source of good, correctly roasted Sumatra. Bilge Brew not only fits the bill, but exceeds my expectations for quality and speed!

I am thrilled to hear that you like our Sumatra, it sounds like you have good taste!

As soon as I opened the bag of coffee I knew it was going to be a good brew! The aroma was addictive. My first cup was smooth as well as the last cup I made. Great coffee worth the cost!

Thank you for the positive review. It means a lot!
