Frequently Asked Questions

About Your Coffee

What makes a perfect cup of coffee?

The best coffee always starts with the best coffee beans – Cameron’s, of course! Use 1-2 level tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of cold, fresh water. We suggest starting with 1 tbsp. per serving, then adjusting this up or down to your liking. Brew at 200°F for proper extraction. Always keep your coffee maker clean and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for brewing. Serve right away for maximum aroma and flavor.

Where is your coffee grown?

Our team travels the world searching for the best 100% Arabica beans. Coffee grows between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, so we source from a wide variety of regions including some of the highly sought-after beans in Ethiopia, Sumatra, Kona, Jamaica and Central & South America. We also proudly source a lot of beans from small family farms, we love getting to know our coffee farmers and their family!

How much of each type of bean are in your blends?

We do not share the exact percentages or regions of our blends—as those are our secret recipes that make our blends so unique from other coffees!

How is your coffee roasted?

Cameron’s Coffee is small batch roasted in European style roasters. We have some really cool roasting technology that allows us to roast dark, rich, smooth beans without ever tasting burnt. Learn more.

How is your coffee flavored?

All of our flavored coffees are specially designed to allow each flavor to enhance the natural taste of our 100% Premium Arabica Coffee. We won’t hide the taste of the beans with syrupy flavors; instead we create special blends that allow you to enjoy the flavoring and the coffee, too. All of our flavors are a combination of natural and artificial flavors.

Is there caffeine in your decaffeinated coffee?

Since caffeine is naturally found in the coffee plant, all decaffeinated coffees have minimal amounts of the substance. We guarantee our decaffeinated coffees to be 97% caffeine free.

What is our decaffeination process?

We use an indirect process to decaffeinate our coffee beans. This process involves a long water soak at near boiling temperature, where the caffeine is gradually drawn out of the coffee beans. The mixture of water and caffeine is treated to absorb the caffeine from the solution. The moisture is then heated to evaporation, removing the solution and the caffeine. Later, water is reintroduced to the beans to restore any moisture, oils, and flavors that may have been lost.

What is your satisfaction guarantee?

If for any reason you’re not happy with the coffee you’ve purchased, our coffee experts will work with you to find a better match and send a fresh batch your way!

EcoPods

How do Cameron’s EcoPods work?

Cameron’s uses a single serve coffee filter instead of a plastic cup. By using a coffee filter, our single serves work just like a drip brewer. The brewer punctures the lid, then fills the entire single serve with hot water—soaking all of the coffee grounds, then drips out the bottom to brew a full-flavored cup.

Are Cameron’s EcoPods sustainable?

Yes! Our 100% compostable* EcoPods are made with plant-based materials, consisting of a compostable* mesh filter, a compostable* ring, and a compostable* paper lid. Each of these components has been certified for industrial compost facilities, which means they will break down into organic matter with the proper application of moisture, heat and oxygen. Because our pods follow ASTM** D6400 standards, they do not leave damaging levels of toxins in the soil. At Cameron’s Coffee, we support the growth of industrial and municipal composting.

We also support home composting. While not certified for home composting yet, we know that all the materials in our pods are made with renewable, plant-based materials, and that they will break down into organic matter in home composting if proper composting methods are used. This may take longer than in an industrial composting facility because there is generally less heat in home composting. And your own results may vary depending on the types of materials you are composting, the amount of moisture present, and how often you mix or turn your compost. But in our personal experience, we have successfully composted our pods in home composting containers. We encourage you to go to www.epa.gov/recycle/composting-home to understand proper composting techniques, and then experiment with our pods. If done right, they should compost over time.

* COMPOSTABLE IN INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES. CHECK LOCALLY, AS THESE DO NOT EXIST IN MANY COMMUNITIES.
** Formerly American Society for Testing Materials

Sustainability

Are all of your coffees sustainable?

While not all our coffees are organic, all of our coffees are responsibly-sourced. Wherever possible, we’re purchasing from small farmers that we get to know (as well as their crews of workers and families) and ensure that they take care of their people, maintain clean facilities, and have good medical and cooking facilities for their community. This is their livelihood as well as ours! Read more about our sustainability efforts.

What is organic coffee?

Coffee is considered organic if it is grown without the use of chemical substances or additives, like pesticides or herbicides. Organic coffee is packaged only after our equipment has gone through extensive cleaning in order to maintain the integrity of the beans. Rest assured, your organic coffee is as fresh and tasty as nature intended!

Coffee Tips

How should I store my coffee?

We recommend storing your coffee in an air tight container in the cabinet, away from sources of heat or light. Room temperature is ideal for storing coffee. For more information, read our blog.

Should I keep my coffee in the fridge/freezer?
