Four weeks in, two coffees received and one went missing. One or the two has been ok and the other I didn’t like. They credited me for the missing one so that’s cool. I’m not overwhelmed so far. Will stick with things but am disappointed so far.

Coffee is super fresh and packaging isn't too big etc. But I wish there was more choice in regards to a darker or lighter blend. I understand you can buy 2 levels of subscription and buy additional coffee in a few more blends. But I wish there was more choice for the more basic subscriptions

I have the house blend and I'm sorry to say it tastes pretty average, not as nice as some big branded coffees I've bought at the supermarket.

The £1 special offer was obviously very good value but the coffee was ok but not fabulous. Hoping for better from the next pack, otherwise will try again locally.

I find that the coffee varies quite a lot from one type to another, which is a good thing, but there are some that I like a lot better than others. Instead of dairy milk I use oat drink - specifically Oatley Barista which tastes great in coffee. It’s compatible with every coffee and tea I’ve come across except for Pact Coffee coffees, unfortunately - and it’s not just one of the coffees you offer - it’s every one I’ve tried. The latest drink just makes the coffee curdle.

Hi Owain, thank you for leaving a review of Pact’s coffee and service! We’re sorry to hear that. Some of our coffees can be too acidic to pair with non-dairy milk but I am sure we can recommend a coffee better suited to oat milk.

2 star service on getting the subscription going - (gift) - but the coffee (house) was actually very good. (4.5 star). Would I recommend - yes if the web site for new subscriptions is sorted - amending the subscription once it was live was actually very good. (4.5 star) - so would I recommend - not sure - as I would need to set up a new subscription to be able to give a view - but the coffee itself was very good. So on the basis of my experience (which hopefully will be sorted) would be a no to a recommendation. But give it go - as hopefully it has since been sorted in which case it would be yes - if it works ok.

This may have the merit of convenience but is actually a very expensive way of buying coffee and I am on the brink of stopping the subscription

Hi Gerry, we hope you’re loving the coffee and our service! We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’ve had with Pact and hope we can get this resolved for you. The cost per bag of our coffee comes from its specialty-grade quality, the care taken in roasting and processing it, and the care taken by the farmers to produce this fantastic crop! Every bag of coffee delivered to your door goes to ensuring that the farmers get a great wage for their work, from House coffee through to Micro-lot. This is why our coffee is more expensive than other retailers. We aim for 5-star service every time, so if there is anything that can be improved please let us know at ahoy@pactcoffee.com or over the phone on 0203 095 3975 and we will be more than happy to help.

The first pack I received was stronger in flavour, but this house coffee is weak, and I like strong coffee.

The coffee is good. The packaging is not recyclable because of the mixed materials. Is there a way you could fix this please? If this can’t be done then I will not continue with Pact.

Hi Kristian, thank you for leaving a review of Pact’s coffee and service! We’re sorry to hear that you wouldn't continue with Pact based on the packaging but we completely understand where you're coming from. The coffee bags can currently be recycled at certain locations for composite materials when you separate the hard plastic valve from the rest of the bag but we are working on a curbside-recyclable solution. We aim for 5-star service every time, so if there is anything that can be improved please let us know at ahoy@pactcoffee.com or over the phone on 0203 095 3975 and we will be more than happy to help.

I was with these other guys, bean to door, who were quite good, but then they emailed me to say that they were shutting down and that I should move to ‘Pact’ who do exactly the same thing, but happen to be £2 a month more expensive! Whole thing feels very suspicious to me....

First off - the good: Delivery and customer service is exceptional. I love that you get an email just before the coffee is sent asking if you need it urgently or if you want it delaying. And the not so good: I ticked a tasting profile box around what coffee I liked and the first batch definitely met those preferences, but the second was basically the opposite of what I like and what I'd ticked. The coffee itself is of a good standard but doesn't quite match the 'micro lot/premium' label. Don't get be wrong it is tasty and enjoyable, but it isn't as good as some other providers. But it is 2/3 the price. So swings and roundabouts I guess. Overall a great service, with a good product.
