Subscriptions
How does the subscription work?
Choose a coffee, a bag size and a rhythm (every week, two weeks or four). We roast, grind and post on that rhythm and bill you each time. There is no minimum term.
Can I pause or cancel?
Yes, from your account under Subscriptions. Pause for a holiday and resume when you are back, or cancel outright. Changes made before a renewal apply to that renewal.
Can I change the size, grind or rhythm?
Yes. Open the subscription in your account and use Switch to choose a different size or rhythm. Use Save grind for future deliveries. Grind changes apply to future renewal orders. Orders already placed keep their original grind. To move to another coffee, start its subscription and cancel this one, or reply to any order email and we will swap it for you.
When am I charged?
At checkout for the first delivery, then on each renewal on the rhythm you chose. We email you with each renewal order.
Do I need an account?
Yes, for a subscription, so you can manage it. You can create one at checkout. One-off purchases such as the Discovery Box and the objects can be made as a guest.
Coffee and grind
Which grind should I choose?
Espresso for an espresso machine, moka pot for a stovetop pot, AeroPress, filter for pour-over and batch brewers, cafetière for a French press. Choose whole bean if you grind at home; it keeps longest.
When is the coffee roasted?
In small batches shortly before each delivery is posted. The roast date is on the bag.
How long does it keep?
Whole beans are at their best for about four to six weeks after roasting; ground coffee for two to three. Keep the bag sealed, cool and out of the light.
Is the decaf really decaf?
Yes. It is decaffeinated with the sugarcane process, which removes at least 99.9% of the caffeine and keeps the sweetness.
Delivery
Will it fit through my letterbox?
The 250 g bag is designed to fit a standard letterbox. 500 g and 1 kg bags, and all objects, are sent as parcels.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery options and timings are shown at checkout and in your dispatch email.
What if I am away?
Pause the subscription from your account, then resume when you are back. The next delivery follows the usual rhythm from the day you resume.
Objects
What are the objects made of?
PLA, a plant-based plastic, printed to order in our workshop. Each piece is printed individually, so texture and colour vary a little from the pictures.
Are they dishwasher safe?
No. Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and keep them away from the hob, the dishwasher and direct sunlight. None of the objects is designed to hold hot coffee.
Can I return an object?
Yes, within 14 days if it is not right, in its original condition; return postage is paid by the buyer. If it arrives damaged, tell us and we will replace it.
Orders and support
How do I get help with an order?
Email orders@maydeforyou.com with your order number, or use your account or the guest order lookup.
Can I return coffee?
Coffee is roasted to order, so it cannot be returned for a change of mind. If something arrives damaged or is not what you ordered, tell us and we will put it right.
Where is my subscription?
Sign in and open Subscriptions in your account. Every renewal, delivery and change is listed there.
Subscriber rewards
How do subscriber rewards work?
We are building a subscription that gives a little back: qualifying coffee spend will work towards thoughtful gifts from our workshop. The reward levels and first gifts will be confirmed before rewards open.
What kind of gifts can I expect?
Thoughtful extras from the MAYDE workshop, inspired by coffee and the things you enjoy around it. The first collection is being prepared; the reward page will show the confirmed gifts and qualifying spend.
Is every object in the shop a reward?
No. Objects can be bought separately. Only gifts explicitly listed in the rewards programme are included as subscriber rewards.
Do purchases from other MAYDE shops count?
No. Big Bean rewards are based on qualifying Big Bean coffee subscription spend. Parts, Books and one-off purchases have their own place in your shared account.
