Great coffee should be simple. So should fixing it when it isn't.

If your order arrives damaged, incorrect, or something simply isn't right, email us at contact@tideandbeancoffee.com within 14 days and we'll make it right.

That's the whole guarantee. There's no form to fill out, no ticket number, no returns department. We're a small team and we answer our own email.


What to send us

Just enough for us to sort it out quickly:

  1. Your order number
  2. A short description of what went wrong
  3. A photo, if there's visible damage — helpful, not required

You don't need to ship anything back. It's coffee; that doesn't make sense for anyone.


If the coffee just isn't for you

Taste is personal, and specialty coffee covers a lot of ground. A natural-process Ethiopia tastes nothing like a dark Sumatra, and one of them might not be your cup.

We can't take back opened bags — food safety, and common sense. But tell us what didn't work and we'll point you at something better suited. The Find Your Coffee quiz is a good place to start, or just email us and describe what you like.


Why we do it this way

Because a guarantee written in legal language isn't really a guarantee — it's a set of conditions under which you might eventually be helped.

We'd rather say the simple version and mean it. There's a person on the other end of that email address, and the whole business depends on you wanting to order again.
