Q: How will my order be delivered?
A: In 2-7 business days depending on your location. Local delivery usually takes no more than 2 days from your order being roasted.

Q: How long will the coffee stay fresh?
A: The coffee is freshly roasted when you place the order; we never pre-package any of our coffee. We recommend you use the whole bean within 3 weeks and the ground within 2 weeks. The fresher the coffee, the more you will notice the difference between our coffee and pre-packaged coffee off the shelf from a grocery store.

Q: How should I store my coffee?
A: In an airtight, light-free container, in a cool, dark area or room. For example, use a ceramic canning jar in a pantry.

Q: Why can’t I just store the coffee in the fridge or freezer?
A: Because that will lead to unwanted moisture.

A: Parkside roasts-to-order all of our blends with the finest Arabica beans in small-batch roasts. We offer the freshest coffee available and use special resealable packaging that keeps your coffee fresh.

A: Yes, Parkside Coffee is a member of the Specialty Coffee Assocation of America (SCAA,) National Coffee Association (NCA) and Roasters Guild.

Q: Is the coffee decaffeinated naturally or chemically?
A: Parkside Coffee uses only beans that are naturally decaffeinated using a water process rather than chemical solvents. Though chemical solvents are not harmful to your health, they do affect the quality of the coffee. Soaking the beans in water to dissolve the caffeine keeps the coffee solvent-free and maintains the true flavor of the coffee.
