Rather than answer this ourselves here are what other customers feel after drinking Exhale (all verified Trust Pilot reviews):

“I’m so alert and stable for the entire day, compared to a normal coffee which spikes before shortly plummeting. Exhale are game changers.”- Amanda Evans, 19th Dec 2022.

“I'm in love. No blood sugar crashes, no IBS stuff. Just focus and energy”. - Magdalena M, 6th Feb 2023.

“The flavour of Exhales organic house roast is exquisite. I'm not even going to try and describe the taste sensation, it just needs to be experienced.” – Jane, 3rd Jan 2023.

“if you are on the fence about buying and looking at reviews to see if you should, then this review is to tell you that YOU SHOULD! And if this review doesn't do it for you then just head over and talk to Exhale Coffee their humility and kindness will definitely sway it for you. :)” - John Brotherton, 11 Nov 2022.

Exhale is freshly roasted coffee and so you will need to brew it in something.

You can use an espresso machine, bean to cup, AeroPress, dripper, Moka pot or a zillion other brewers and experimenting with them is part of the fun!

However, a Cafetiere (a.k.a. French Press) is the easiest.

Our method for a small cafetiere is:

1. Add 17g of ground coffee (or 2 tbsp).
2. Add hot water 30s off the boil.
3. Stir after 30s.
4. Plunge after 5 minutes.
5. Pour and enjoy!

No we don't, because we don't need to!

A good quality coffee that's been treated right is as healthy as any other 'superfood' on the planet.

There's a modern trend towards taking poor quality ingredients (such as instant coffee, read our blog on that here) and adding whatever the latest fad, on-trend superfood is to make it 'healthy' again.

We instead took the care to (obsessively) look after every stage from farm to cup and work with the wonderful things naturally in our coffee already.

It definitely wasn't the easiest option, but it's the best one for you and the planet and that's what matters to us. 😁

The research is clear - for the maximum health benefits from coffee you should drink 3 to 5 cups a day (or 2 to 3 mugs). Read our article on how much coffee is too much?

1 x 150g bag contains around 10 mugs of coffee.

If you're sensitive to caffeine try mixing our regular coffee and our decaf for a half-caf. They're from the same farm so mix well together. Or go for our decaf.

No, it needs brewing in something like a cafetiere, AeroPress, espresso machine or dripper etc.

It's well worth the effort though because it's healthier and more delicious!

Instant coffee has been linked to some nasty diseases and has 4 times the amount of mould / mycotoxins on average! Read our article reviewing the latest research.

Coffee comes from a fruit and like any other fruit is packed full of naturally healthy compounds. The most beneficial being polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid. Read more on coffee's fruity side in our article.

Through over roasting and poor handling these compounds are often significantly reduced in other coffees. Studies show up to a 31-fold difference between some cups of coffee!

During our unique process we sourced a bean naturally high in the healthiest compounds and roasted in a way that locks in as much of them as possible.

We also keep out the bad and our organic coffee also independently tested to be free from moulds, mycotoxins, pesticides and other nasties.

Yes you can, but multiple studies show the quantity of the healthiest compounds vary immensely from coffee to coffee.

In 2014 one study tested 104 espressos from cafes in Scotland, Italy and Spain and found a 31 fold difference between the highest and lowest concentrations of coffee's healthiest compound!

It should... One study shows that polyphenols counteract the negative effects of caffeine, reducing anxiousness. So a high polyphenol coffee like Exhale should reduce the jittery effects from caffeine.

This has been confirmed by lots of our customers who have reported this (just search for jitters or anxious in our Trust Pilot reviews).

However, everyone is unique so it’s impossible to say for certain how you will react. And if you're really worried then we also do a cracking decaf.

I’d love to know how you get on so please drop me an email on alex@exhalecoffee.com if you do try it. 

Yes. It's true.

Caffeine is one of the few scientifically proven 'ergogenic aids to performance'. Meaning it will help you preform better, on average 11-12% better according to 2x meta-analyses!

However, unlike other coffees, Exhale coffee is also high in polyphenols which studies have shown can improve both sprint and endurance performance.

So in Exhale coffee the caffeine and polyphenols work synergistically to give you a double performance boost! Win win!!

For more, read our blog on how to use coffee to set a new PB.

Most of the health benefits are the same across the caffeinated and decaf versions, with only a minor magnification of effects in some areas due to the ‘entourage effect’. So you’re still onto a winner with the decaf.

The areas where decaf isn't as protective are broadly:

• Liver health. Coffee is very protective of the liver. Those effects are more pronounced in regular coffee.
• Cognitive health. Especially age-related cognitive benefits are slightly less pronounced in decaf.

I wouldn’t worry though, if you’re not a fan of caffeine (or it's not a fan of you!), the decaf is still packed full of antioxidants and polyphenols so is hugely beneficial. 

We buy only speciality grade coffee as defined by the SCA. Occasionally a coffee we buy is Fair Trade but most speciality grade coffees aren’t Fair Trade certified. This is because they are sold at such a high premium that Fair Trade certification isn’t needed. With our current coffee, for example, the farmer is paid 280 cts/lbs and the Fair Trade price is 180 cts/lbs. So we pay 55% more than the Fair Trade price guarantees.

It’s important to us that everyone in our supply chain is well looked after, including the planet. Because there’s no point in trying to improve our customers health at the detriment of our suppliers!

Also known as 'Butter Coffee' or 'Keto Coffee', Bulletproof coffee is a popular way of drinking coffee blending it with ghee/butter and MCT Oil.

To be suitable, coffee should be independently lab tested mycotoxin free and ideally high in polyphenols making Exhale the perfect choice.

Our Dark(ish) roast works best so get yours today!

It's as good as currently exists... all our coffee is delivered in compostable, plastic free packaging, and all the paper we use is from FSC Certified renewable sources.

The pouch itself is home compostable (you can compost it in your garden) but the valve and zipper are industrially compostable so tear them off and pop in your green waste bin.

The world's insatiable thirst for polluting, single use plastic has to stop. And we want to be part of that change.

We're always looking for more environmentally friendly ways to package our coffee so please let us know if you have any suggestions!
