The Check up blend
The Check Up Blend started it all. Luke’s parents wanted him to be a doctor, so he became a “coffee doctor” instead. This blend began his love for coffee and for giving people the pick-me-ups they need.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Got a coffee problem?
The Coffee DRS are in.
From choosing the right beans to getting your daily dose right, here are our prescriptions for some of the questions we hear most.
COFFEE PRESCRIPTIONS
-
It depends on your daily dose.
1–2 cups a day → 250g per week / 1kg a month
2–4 cups a day → 500g per week / 2kg a month
6–8 cups a day → 1kg per week / 4kg a month
Based on approximately 16–21g of coffee per cup.
-
Keep your beans sealed, cool, dry and away from direct sunlight.
Avoid heat, moisture and air as much as possible.
Doctor's note: Only grind what you need if you have a grinder. Whole beans stay fresher for longer because the surface area of the coffee bean is less exposed over time.
-
The key is to take the coffee out once, not every day. Repeatedly opening, warming and returning the same coffee to the freezer can expose it to moisture and accelerate staling.
The Coffee DRS prescription:
Portion your beans into amounts that'll last around 2 weeks.
Keep your current portion sealed in a cool, dry cupboard.
Freeze the remaining portions in airtight containers or bags.
When you're nearly out, take your next portion from the freezer the night before.
Let it come to room temperature overnight while still sealed.
Once it's out, keep it out........don't refreeze it.
Freeze once. Thaw once. Drink happy.
