Description
Decaffeinated and Delicious
Our current decaf offering is the Cordillera. It is like the rolls royce of decaffeinated coffee. The crops that go into this blend of coffees comes from a handful of smallholder farms in the Planadas and Canon de las Hermosas regions.
Coffees from selected for their cupping quality and flavour combinations, and must score 85+ to be included. Once cupped and blended to achieve the desired flavour profile, the coffees are milled and transported to DESCAFECOL, where the Sugarcane (or Ethyl Acetate) process is used to dissolve the caffeine from the bean without unnecessary impact to the flavour and characteristics of the coffee. This decaf is a pretty amazing coffee and stands out on its own!

Subscription Questions
What is a Coffee Subscription?
Coffee Subscriptions are a way of ensuring your coffee is delivered to you regularly to eliminate the risk of you RUNNING OUT OF COFFEE when you really need it. You can subscribe weekly, fortnightly, 3-weekly or 4-weekly to ensure your coffee is delivered when you need it.
How does the Brightside Coffee Subscription work?
When you subscribe to Brightside, you are subscribing to either:
- One of our Blends
- Filtered roast
- Decaf Roast
- One of our Single Origin Vibes
What is a Single Origin Vibe?
Because our coffee sources change with the seasons, the crops, the farmers, the planet alignment etc, it is impossible to guarantee you the same exact coffee source all year round. To fix this, all of our coffees are categorised by flavour vibe that you can subscribe to and we will send you the latest single origin roast within that flavour profile!
How much coffee do I need and how often?
Quick Answer: Aim to order fresh coffee every 2 weeks, based on how many cups per day you drink.
A 250g bag of coffee makes approximately 14 cups of coffee. A kilogram bag of coffee makes approximately 60 cups of coffee.
Depending on how many cups a day you drink, here is how long each bag size will last you:
1 week | 2 week | 3 week | 4 week | |
250g | 2 cups / day | 1 cup / day | 1 cup / 2 days | 1 cup / 4 days |
500g | 4 cups / day | 2 cups / day | 1-2 cups / day | 1 cup / 2 days |
1000g | 8 cups / day | 4 cups / day | 2-3 cups / day | 2 cups / day |
How long does coffee stay fresh?
All Brightside coffee’s ship in a sealed bag with a valve to allow the gas to escape without oxygen getting in, with a foil lining to protect the coffee beans from direct sunlight, so Brightside coffee beans will stay fresher for longer.
If you are buying whole beans, coffee will stay fresh for 4-5 weeks if stored correctly in the bag it’s shipped in or an airtight container. We recommend getting through a bag in 3 weeks to maintain peak flavour.
Buying ground coffee does shorten the peak freshness of coffee to about 1 week, but it’s still delicious for 4-5 weeks if stored correctly in the Brightside coffee bag or an airtight container.
