DOES HIGH VOLTAGE COFFEE CONTAIN ANY ADDITIVES?

High Voltage Coffee has absolutely no additives or other ingredients, 100% natural giving it about 1 calorie per cup, no carbs, protein, fiber etc.

WHAT'S BETTER? WHOLE BEAN OR GROUND COFFEE?

Just like roasting, grinding coffee beans is the best option as grinding releases gases and oils that have the very best flavour. Pre-ground coffee might be convenient, but it sits in your pantry until your ready to use it meaning the coffee has probably lost all the flavours by the time you brew it. The shelf time alters its flavours which in the end affects the quality of your coffee.

Stick with whole bean coffees, and grind them yourself as you need it. Your taste buds will really thank you in the end.

HOW FRESH IS YOUR COFFEE?

We roast our coffee beans every 2 or 3 times a week, and ship within 48 hours of roasting, orders will always ship same day as long as you put your order in by 4pm. Our coffee guaranteed fresh!

HOW MANY CUPS OF COFFEE CAN I GET FROM A 1KG BAG?

If you’re trying to figure out exactly how far a bag of 1Kg whole beans will stretch you, it’s really dependent on how you’re brewing your coffee. 

A 1 Kg bag of High Voltage Coffee will make about 120+ cups of strong coffee, and will cost you around 24 cents a cup. Imagine how much money you will save if you make your own coffee compared to buying from a cafe which will cost you anywhere from $4.50 - $6 or more for a cup.
