Donkey Kick

Robusta gets a rough ride in the coffee industry, seen as a third rate coffee.

This is unfair, it's tasty when roasted properly and packs more caffeine per cup than arabica by 3 to 5 times!

Robusta features heavily in this unusually caffeinated blend- great for work outs, late nights or a more adult drink than an energy drink and considerably cheaper than the much overhyped one we've all read about!
We considered a few names when conceiving this blend.

Here are a few of the ones we considered:
1. Widow Maker
2. Health Warning
3. Constipation Cure
4. Are You Mental?
5. Danger Sign

We settled on Donkey Kick after our founders Mum, who is sensitive to caffeine, tried some and described the sensation as being like when she was kicked by a Donkey.

This is a very caffeinated blend, the strongest we can make in fact and we don't sell it lightly. To be responsible we only sell Donkey Kick in 250G pouches.

At the risk of overhyping this coffee like a certain YouTube inspired highly caffeinated drink, this is strong stuff!

Now, while most people will want a coffee to relax or sharpen their focus, we are aware that there are night shift workers, long distance drivers, students busy cramming (we've been there) and lots of other people that need a strong hit to keep them going. This is for you guys.

The biggest beneficiaries to this brew tho are gym goers or those working out hard. It's been shown in studies that caffeine *could* keep you focussed, increase your stamina and keep you satiated longer meaning you don't need to keep stopping to snack!

Robusta is another coffee variety that gets a bad rep, largely to keep the Arabica crop prices high as far as we can see- because when roasted with care this bean can be balanced and light- which is exactly how we roast it. Blended with other arabica coffee (as most high street coffee is) it can be great and keep its caffeine packed punch!

So, you've been warned. Call it what ever you like, once tried you will know what we mean. Please drink this coffee responsibly.

What our customers say

tasted good and I felt the difference in my morning because of it. Wish I'd known it was super charged and I would have drunk it before training instead
RePodly Blind taster
Lovely tasting, mild blend. One of my favourites, I'd enjoy this even if I didn't know it was super caffinated...

What is the roast type?

What do I need to make this coffee?
Our coffees can be delivered as beans or in a variety of grind types.
If you have a pod machine make sure you've also purchased one of our stainless steel reusable pods for your machine and order your coffee bag ground to pod size.

We also grind to French Press size if you have one of those.
If you like filter coffee we grind to this size and also sell compostable coffee bags and stainless steel filter sets.
What makes this coffee special?
What makes our coffee stand out is its freshness, its quality and its flavour.

Your coffee, whichever blend or grind you choose will be roasted to order here in the UK and usually delivered to you within 48 hours of it being roasted for you.
You can't get much fresher than that, and flavour is lost over time- so the more fresh, the more of that lovely flavour!
What is Paper or Plastic packaging?
Our freshly roasted coffee can either be delivered to you in a resealable, reusable plastic bag or in a paper bag which can be recycled.

If you choose to go paper please make sure you have a suitable container or bag to put the coffee into as soon as you receive it to preserve the freshness and flavour.
How does postage work?
We have 2 options for delivery.
1. Royal Mail 48 hours untracked
This is for orders up to 2KG in weight and costs £4

2. DPD courier delivery. This costs £7.50 for up to 28KG

In most cases Royal Mail is brilliant, but we all see the news in the build up to Christmas- if you feel your delivery is urgent or may be affected and you wish to upgrade to DPD on your order we can arrange this if you contact us ASAP, preferably before placing your order
I'm buying for business, do I get a discount?
If you're likely to be ordering over 5KG a week we can discuss this if you contact us via email.

If you have a public facing business or coffee shop we could also provide you with branded coffee bags which customers love!
Why is there a tree on the label?
The tree is there as a reminder that your purchase also planted a tree!
This is done entirely by us in your honour and you don't need to do anything at all to make it happen- no opting in, extra details or gift aid forms. You did a good thing just by drinking coffee!

We promise to plant a tree for every bag sold
