Everything is so well organised
Everything is so well organised, from the notification of my monthly "coffee time" thru to the notification from the Post Office of delivery time. Of course the coffee is the star of the show! Many thanks

Delivery was slow (revised)
Delivery was slow (was a Royal Mail issue)
When contacted customer services to find out the roasting date they were unable to advise me (although I have since been advised of the roast date).
On a positive note the coffee tastes fab.

Good afternoon Denise,
Thank you for your feedback.
Please accept our apologies for the delay in delivery. I can see that your order was despatched with Royal Mail on 6th January, following our reopening on 5th January, and was delivered on 12th January. Your parcel should normally arrive within 48 hours of despatch, so I am very sorry for this delay. Unfortunately, we experienced a number of Royal Mail delays after the Christmas period due to high parcel volumes.
Regarding the roasting date, we are always able to provide this information, and I apologise if this was not made clear when you called. The roast date is nine months prior to the best before date shown on the coffee packaging.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
All the best,
Martin Carwardine & Co.

Fabulous
Bought three medium bags of coffee. Am currently drinking the single origin coffee (whole bean) from Honduras. It's deep, strong and mellow (and probably a third of the price of Jamaican Blue Mountain). I'm very impressed with the art work (would like to know if this has been done in-house) on the packaging.
There used to be a shop in Queens Street in Exeter. You could smell the aroma of freshly ground coffee down the street. Any chance of resurrecting the shop and thus denying custom to the large coffee chains?

Good afternoon Matthew,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.
Our original etchings are taken from historic illustrations, which our in-house designer then carefully adapts to suit our purpose.
We would absolutely love to re-open a shop in Exeter. We have actually just re-introduced ourselves to the world of coffee shops by opening the first of this Carwardines generation coffee shops in Wells, Somerset.
All the best,
Martin Carwardine & Co.
Personal consideration.

Computer glitch in listing coffees by type, i.e. bean or grounded.
Usually great service and coffee but this time a minor computer glitch in listing coffees caused me, this time, to select the wrong coffee for one of my selections. No problem as sent back and got replacement bags of the right sort, but only one bag at a time, so that did take some time to sort out.
But still good service in sorting it out without any quibbles.

Good morning David,
Thank you for your review. We are glad we could get everything sorted for you, even if the process took a little longer than it should have. We apologise for the listing glitch and the extra steps it caused - we’ve resolved the website issue to ensure it does not happen again. We appreciate your patience and are delighted you’re still happy with the service.
All the best,

The service was good and I was very pleased to be reimbursed the postage as the post office took almost a week to deliver.
The coffee was good quality but not a strong enough flavour for me...my fault...chose the wrong blend. Next order will be for an expresso style coffee.
