Frequently Asked Questions / Terms of Service
Counter Culture's mission is to source, roast, and deliver the most exquisite, freshest coffee in the world. We have – and always will – roast to order.

We love to hear from our customers, so please don't hesitate to send us an email at info@counterculturecoffee.com or call us at (888) 238-5282.
Our headquarters and training centers do not function as retail locations. And, we do not offer local pick up. Thanks!
Refund Policy
We hope you enjoy our coffees as much as we do. We do our best to describe the characteristics of each coffee, and we stand by the quality of every single batch we roast. We also recognize that tastes differ, and that when someone takes a chance on something new, he or she might not love what they choose.
Our overarching goal is to bring you, our customers, the best coffee experiences possible, and we do our best to ensure that you are satisfied with your purchases.
Because we roast to order, the following rules apply:
- We will refund the cost of up to two 12 oz. bags of a single selection per order.
- To receive a refund, unused portions of coffees must be returned at the customer's expense.
- Shipping costs may not be refunded.
- Refunds will be honored up to 30 days after roast date, but not afterward.
To report errors or process a return, please contact us info@counterculturecoffee.com or 888.238.5282 x123.
