Each month brings a new origin to broaden your mug horizons. Roasted fresh, hoofed fast - every bag’s a kick-ass coffee that’ll have your taste buds doing cartwheels.
The Mule's pick
The Mule picks, you sip.
You choose your pack size and grind, and leave the rest to this stubborn Mule. No contracts, no nonsense – you’re the boss of your brew.
A proper winter warmer, all syrupy sweetness, blackberry, ripe stone fruit, and rich molasses.
This kick-ass coffee hails from the highlands of San José de Lourdes in Northern Peru, right up near the Ecuadorian border. It’s a thriving spot for top-notch beans, thanks to high elevation and steady rainfall that make the growing conditions just right for producing sweet, complex coffee. The smallholder farmers who grow this coffee face their share of challenges, from unpredictable weather to tough market access, so getting a fair deal is everything.
Back here in Yorkshire, we’ve roasted it respectfully to bring out the sweet, clean flavours that make this region a standout. We think it's a perfect example of what this part of Peru has to offer, and ideal for the cold winter days ahead.

Subscription FAQs
What kind of coffee will I get?
Not your average speciality stuff. The Mule sniffs out small-batch beans with big flavour, roasted fresh and full of character.
Each month features a different coffee - a new origin, a new story, a new brew to get stuck into. You’ll travel the coffee belt from Central and South America to Africa and Asia, one mug at a time.
Our coffees are graded 84+ on the SCA scale, meaning clean, complex, high-quality beans that taste a cut above your supermarket shelf. Every batch is traceable and small-scale - often from a single producer or a group of smallholder farmers. Some months you’ll get a single origin, other times a carefully crafted blend - always roasted to bring out its best flavour.
Is it ethically sourced?
Always. The Mule only works with people and organisations that share our values - fair pay, transparency, and respect for the planet.
We’ve built long-term relationships with co-ops and growers who go the extra mile for their communities and the land they farm.
How do I sign up?
Pick your pack size, choose your grind (or choose whole bean), and let the Mule do the rest. We’ll hoof fresh coffee to your door like clockwork.
Can I choose how often I get coffee?
Yep. You’re in charge of how often the Mule trots up to your door - every 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 weeks. Pick what suits your mug habits, and we’ll keep the beans coming right on schedule.
Do I have to create an account?
Yep. Keeps things tidy so you can manage, pause or cancel without chasing us down the paddock.
When will my first bag arrive?
We roast to order and get it out the door sharpish - usually within 1–2 working days. Before you know it, your kitchen will smell like the Mule’s roastery.
Do we roast coffee freshly before it’s sent?
Always. The Mule roasts in small batches once or twice a week, then hoofs it out within a couple of days. Fresh, punchy, and straight from the roastery to your door.
Is delivery really free?
It is. And letterbox-friendly, so no waiting around for the postie.
Can I change my delivery address?
Course you can. Just log in and update your details before the next roast heads your way.
On what date on the month does that coffee change?
The 1st of each month brings a brand-new coffee to your subscription.
When do I get charged?
You’ll be charged when you place your first order, and then again on each renewal date after that. Simple as that - no sneaky extras or surprises.
Can I skip a delivery?
Absolutely. Going on holiday? Cupboards full? Skip a round - the Mule won’t sulk.
Can I pause or cancel anytime?
Deffo. You’ve got the reins. Pause, cancel or start again whenever you fancy.
Can I change the coffee I get?
Each month the Mule picks one cracking coffee for everyone - no choosing, just great brews discovered for you.
How do I update my grind preference?
Easy. Log in to your account, pick your grind, and the Mule will take it from there. Need a hand choosing?
• Fine: Espresso machine
• Medium: V60, Clever Drip, Stovetop, AeroPress
• Coarse: Cafetière or cold brew
Whatever your brew method, there’s a grind that fits best.
How long should I rest my coffee before brewing?
Coffee resting refers to the time freshly roasted beans need to reach a stable state before brewing. Straight after roasting, beans release CO₂, which can get in the way of proper extraction and mute the flavours.
As a rule of hoof:
• Filter brews (like V60, Clever Drip, AeroPress or cafetière) are usually ready after 3–7 days.
• Espresso prefers a bit longer - around 7–14 days.
Darker roasts settle faster. Lighter ones take their time. A little patience pays off - once rested, the flavours even out, the sweetness shines, and the taste comes through just right.
These are just guidelines - every coffee’s got its own personality. Some are friendly and open up right away. Others are a bit more stubborn about showing their best side. Timing (and your own taste) might vary, so be patient, be curious, and have a bit of fun experimenting.
Can I use discount codes on subscriptions?
Some work, some don’t - depends on the offer. We’ll tell you up front if it applies.
Can I give the Mule Subscription as a gift?
Not quite yet - but we’re working on it. For now, you can send coffee to a different address (just note the emails and account details will still come to you).
Whoever’s on the receiving end will think you’re a legend either way.
