Many consumers appreciate the variety of blends available, with several mentioning specific favorites and the appealing flavor profiles. The ordering process is frequently described as simple and straightforward, and the delivery service is often noted for its promptness and efficiency.

Hi Debbie, thank you so much for your feedback! Sorry to hear the coffee wasn’t as smooth or flavourful as you’d hoped. If you’d like, drop us an email at orders@volcanocoffeeworks.com with details about how you brewed the coffee. We’d love to share some brewing tips tailored to your method and the specific coffee to help you get the best flavour, or send you a replacement that might be more suitable. Looking forward to hearing from you!Pat

5* service and quality

We ordered a Sage Bambino machine and a Baratza Encore ESP grinder from Volcano. The machine came with a free kit containing two flat white mugs, a storage tin, and clip, as well as a 5 month (500g) coffee subscription. The blender came with another free 500g bag of coffee so we ordered something different here.
The kit is amazing and arrived within 24 hours of being dispatched.
The coffee is superb and being able to grind it fresh each day has been a game changer.
We are so delighted and couldn’t recommend Volcano more!!
Support a small business and don’t buy your equipment from a large high street chain!!!

Delicious coffee

The delivery was on time. I have really enjoyed the both bags. The Ethiopian Limu had a higher acidity and bolder flavors which was delicious. The Brazil Fazenda was a lowered acidity but still delicious. I used a 1:14 ratio with V60 poor over.
It was rather disappointing that the bags were only 200g vs others have 250g for the same price.

Coffee machine purchase

I bought a coffee machine and coffee subscription as a gift. The recipient is extremely pleased with it. All I can say is that the delivery process was first rate. I was kept fully informed of progress every step of the way.

First order from Volcano

First order from Volcano, very happy with ordering process and delivery. Haven't tried the coffee yet because it's for Christmas, but hopefully won't be disappointed and will be ordering again. Always like to support local small businesses.

This is my first time of buying Volcano…

This is my first time of buying Volcano coffee and decided to try the 'Mount Blend'. The coffee is pleasant, but rather unexceptional. I have also bought 'Sombra' but not tried it yet.

Hi Carol, thanks for taking the time to leave a review with us! So sorry to hear it didn't taste quite right - often times the brew ratio can make a huge difference so I would love to opportunity to help you dial in the coffee a bit and if that doesn't help we'd happily send you something else to try that we think you'd love - please send us an email on orders@volcanocoffeeworks.com. Speak soon, Sonya.

Great coffee

I have bought this coffee for my son as part of his birthday present which is at the beginning of November. He is in his mid 30s and enjoys a good cup of coffee.
He has not yet received the gift but what I have discovered is that it was first made in West Norwood which is where he first lived with his wife. This was purely coincidence on my part but I know he will be thrilled to bits when he realises this too.

Every time I buy coffee from volcano…

Every time I buy coffee from volcano, they ask me, at least twice, for a review. So here goes (again): Volcano coffee is really really good and the service is excellent. I wish I could have a sex change so I could have their babies. I also think that they should be made permanent rulers of the earth. OK, that’s the last one I’m doing.

Thanks so much for your very creative review, Shaun. Sorry we've bombarded you with review requests, definitely not the intention and we'll look into our settings to fix this.

Permanent rules of the earth? Consider it done, there will be tasty coffee and world peace!

Thanks so much for the review, and have a great weekend.

Good tasting coffee

Good tasting coffee, however some feedback in respect of the pods. In my opinion they are a poor design as they are consistingly failing to produce a productive amount of coffee. The pod lid disintegrates and fails in my maching, causing not enough coffee to be produced.

Hey John, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We appreciate your feedback and we're glad you've enjoyed our coffee - and we're sorry your experience with our pods hasn't been as positive!

We've just finalised some changes to our pods, and will be introducing an updated range shortly - we expect them to be available in January and we hope that the changes will mean better performance with a wider range of pod machines.

We'd love to send you some of our new pods when they arrive, and we hope you'll find them a big improvement! Just get in touch with us at orders@volcanocoffeeworks.com and we'll get that sorted.
