Tired of supermarket coffee that tastes bland and has been gathering dust in a warehouse?
That's because it probably has. Coffee starts losing its best flavours within weeks of roasting, and the bag from the shelf was likely roasted months ago. Which is where Field & Fire's new subscription comes in, and why it's worth a closer look if you care what's in your morning coffee.
Who are Field & Fire?
Field & Fire is a small batch roaster based in the Ribble Valley. They source beans from coffee farmers around the world, including Colombia and Mexico, and roast in small enough batches that nothing sits around gathering dust and going stale. It's speciality coffee, which isn't just a marketing term; the beans are graded at a higher quality level than standard commercial coffee. These beans are grown at ideal altitudes, handpicked at peak ripeness, and carefully processed. With traceable origins and care taken at every stage from farm to roast, they distinguish themselves from mass-produced commercial coffee, offering a premium taste.
Why a subscription?
Who doesn’t want a fresh coffee in the morning?
Coffee is at its best in roughly two to four weeks after roasting. Buying a bag here and there tends to mean running out when you need it most, the morning. A subscription means a fresh bag lands before the current one runs dry.
There's a small saving too. Subscribers pay 5% less per bag than one-off buyers, and orders over £25 ship free.

Is it worth it?
If you drink coffee daily and you've started noticing the gap between a fresh roast and a stale one, then yes. There’s a 5% saving on all subscriptions and free postage, providing your order is over £25
Field & Fire's subscription is a small upgrade to a daily routine. It removes the admin of remembering to reorder, keeps the coffee fresh, and brings down the per-bag cost at the same time.
Remember, great things start with a brew.
