Coffee Bros Review
We went looking for the gap in their lab reports. The one we expected was not there. Two others were.
Coffee Bros
Publishes Its Lab ReportsThe testing is real, and we were wrong about the gap: certificates from Cambium Analytica, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under number 108157. We assumed the coffee-relevant mycotoxin would be missing. It is not — Ochratoxin A is on every certificate and came back ND, alongside all four aflatoxins and a mould and yeast plate count. Most roasters publish nothing at all.
But the sentence overreaches the documents: the pages say coffee is tested "for the absence of mold, pesticides, chemicals, and mycotoxins". Mould and mycotoxins are covered. Pesticides and “chemicals” are on no certificate we opened — and on an ethyl-acetate decaf, a residual-solvent test is the obvious missing one.
And "all our coffee" is doing heavy lifting: we found certificates on three products; the Ethiopia Shentawane, Kenya AA Riara Estate and both Colombia honey co-ferments had none linked. All three we did find share one August 2025 sampling date, and the Filadelfia page links a certificate for a different coffee — sample name "La Mina - Natural". That reads as a template copy-paste, not bad faith, but it is wrong on the page.
Credit where it is due on freshness: the shipping policy states "None of our coffee is shipped out if it is past 5 days of the roast date". That is a real, checkable commitment — though it does not match the product-page line "We roast our coffee immediately after an order", given the same policy says "we only roast coffee once a week" on Saturdays.
Affiliate disclosure: GLP1Drugs.org earns 4% of order value — about $1.00 on a $24.99 bag — and nothing on the advice to drink it black, buy the small bag, or move the afternoon cup to decaf. Verified 8 August 2026.

What We Verified
We downloaded and read the actual certificates rather than trusting the badge, and checked six product pages for whether a certificate was linked at all.
The Lab Reports Are Real, And So Is The Lab
Three certificates of analysis from Cambium Analytica of Traverse City, Michigan, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under number 108157, signed by a Laboratory Director and a VP of Scientific Operations. Samples received 6 August 2025, published 11 August 2025. Most roasters publish nothing at all
And They Test The Right Mycotoxin
We expected the coffee-relevant one to be missing and it is not: alongside aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2, every certificate includes Ochratoxin A — the mycotoxin actually associated with coffee — all reported ND at a limit of detection of 0.001 ug/g. Total mould and yeast were also ND at 10 CFU/g
But The Claim Covers Two Things The Tests Do Not
The product pages say coffee is "third-party tested for the absence of mold, pesticides, chemicals, and mycotoxins". Mould and mycotoxins are on the certificates. Pesticides are not. Neither are "chemicals" of any kind — and on an ethyl-acetate decaf, a residual-solvent test is the obvious one to run
"All Our Coffee" Is Doing Heavy Lifting
We found certificates on three products. The Ethiopia Shentawane, the Kenya AA Riara Estate and both Colombia honey co-ferments carried no certificate link at all when we checked. One document per SKU from a single August 2025 sampling date does not support a claim about all of it
One Certificate Is Attached To The Wrong Coffee
The Colombia Filadelfia Honey page links a certificate whose sample name reads "La Mina - Natural" — a different coffee they also sell. Most likely a copy-paste on a product template rather than anything worse, but a shopper relying on that page is reading a document about something else
The Freshness Rule Is Specific And Checkable
The shipping policy states "None of our coffee is shipped out if it is past 5 days of the roast date", with roasting on Saturdays and orders held over if there is no fresh stock. That is a real commitment. It also sits awkwardly against the product-page line "We roast our coffee immediately after an order"
The Claim Versus The Certificate
Their sentence names four things. We read three certificates to see which of them appear.
| Claimed | On The Certificate? | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Mould | Yes — total yeast and mould plate, 25g | ND at 10 CFU/g |
| Mycotoxins | Yes — aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 and Ochratoxin A | All ND at 0.001 ug/g |
| Pesticides | No — the word does not appear | Not evidenced |
| “Chemicals” | No — no solvents, no heavy metals, no residues | Not evidenced |
| “All our coffee” | Certificates found on 3 products; several had none linked | One sampling date, Aug 2025 |
To be fair to them: clean results from an ISO 17025 laboratory beat the nothing most roasters publish, and including Ochratoxin A rather than aflatoxins alone is the honest way to do it. The fix here is to edit one sentence, not to change the coffee.
Coffee When Your Appetite Has Collapsed
General guidance, not medical advice, and we earn nothing on any of it.
| The Problem | What Actually Helps |
|---|---|
| Liquid calories crowding out protein | Black coffee is near zero. Syrup, whole milk and cream can run to hundreds of calories that do not fill you up |
| Reflux and heartburn | Drink it with or after food, earlier in the day, in smaller volume — the pH of the cup is not the main driver |
| Nausea on an empty stomach | Never the first thing of the day. Gastric emptying is already slowed; coffee first thing makes it worse for many |
| Sleep, and the appetite chaos that follows | Caffeine takes hours to clear. Move the late cup to decaf rather than dropping the ritual |
| Taste has changed and you own 5lb of beans | Buy the 6oz bag at about $10 until you know what you still enjoy. We earn less saying that |
Frequent, persistent or new heartburn is worth raising with your clinician rather than solving by changing beans. Our side-effects guide covers the digestive side in more detail.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓Publishes actual certificates of analysis from an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory, which almost no roaster does
- ✓Ochratoxin A — the mycotoxin that actually matters in coffee — is on the panel and came back ND
- ✓Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 all ND; total mould, yeast and combined all ND at 10 CFU/g
- ✓A hard freshness rule in writing: nothing ships more than 5 days past the roast date
- ✓The decaffeination method is disclosed as ethyl acetate derived from fermented sugar, not methylene chloride
- ✓Publishes a measured brewed pH for its four core blends, which practically nobody does
- ✓Genuine specialty sourcing: named estates, a #1 Cup of Excellence lot, Gesha and Pacamara varietals, disclosed processing methods
- ✓Small 6oz bags from about $10.29 let you try a coffee without committing to a pound of it
- ✓Sensible perishable-goods refund stance: no returns on coffee, but 30 days to raise a problem by email
Cons
- ✕The testing claim names pesticides and "chemicals", and no certificate we read covers either
- ✕No residual-solvent test published for the ethyl-acetate decaf, where it would be the most relevant test
- ✕Several coffees had no certificate linked at all, against a claim about "all our coffee"
- ✕The Colombia Filadelfia Honey page links a certificate for a different coffee, "La Mina - Natural"
- ✕All three certificates share one sampling date in August 2025 — this is not per-batch testing
- ✕"We roast our coffee immediately after an order" does not match "we only roast coffee once a week" in the shipping policy
- ✕The page headed "Cancellation policy" contains only the returns text and no subscription cancellation terms
- ✕Specialty prices: about $24.99 for a 12oz single origin, $39.99 for Gesha lots, $79.99 for the Cup of Excellence lot
- ✕A 5lb bag at $123.48 is a poor fit for anyone drinking less than they used to — freshness is the whole proposition
- ✕Nothing here treats, prevents or affects any medical condition; it is coffee
- ✕Commission is 4%, so a $24.99 bag earns us about a dollar
Our Verdict
4.0 / 5 — unusually transparent, with a sentence that reaches past its own evidence.
We came to this one expecting to catch a familiar trick. Roasters that advertise mould-free or mycotoxin-tested coffee very often mean aflatoxins alone, which is convenient, because aflatoxins are much more a peanut and maize problem than a coffee one. The mycotoxin genuinely associated with coffee is ochratoxin A. So we downloaded the certificates instead of trusting the badge — and ochratoxin A is there, on every one, reported as not detected at a limit of detection of 0.001 ug/g. We were wrong, and the finding belongs on the page rather than in a drawer. The rest of the panel is clean too: aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 all ND, and a total yeast and mould plate count ND at 10 CFU/g. The laboratory is Cambium Analytica of Traverse City, Michigan, which states accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under number 108157, and the reports are signed by a Laboratory Director and a VP of Scientific Operations. That is a real credential and a real document, and the overwhelming majority of coffee brands publish nothing remotely comparable.
Which makes the overreach more annoying than it needs to be. The product pages say: "All our coffee is third-party tested for the absence of mold, pesticides, chemicals, and mycotoxins." Two of those four are squarely evidenced. Pesticides are not — the word appears nowhere on any certificate we opened. Nor does anything answering to "chemicals": no pesticide residue screen, no heavy metals, no residual solvents. That last omission is the one with teeth, because their decaf is an ethyl acetate decaf, described on its own page as "custom decaffeinated in Colombia, using a special, natural process that utilizes a solvent of ethyl acetate, which can be derived from fermented sugar". Disclosing the method is good practice and it is not the methylene chloride process people worry about. But if you are going to publish certificates and use the word "chemicals", a residual-solvent result on the solvent-decaffeinated product is the obvious one to include, and it is not there. Then the word "all": we found certificates on three products, while the Ethiopia Shentawane, the Kenya AA Riara Estate and both Colombia honey co-fermentation lots had none linked when we looked. The three we found share a single sampling date in August 2025, so this is a snapshot, not per-batch testing.
One more, offered as an error rather than an accusation: the Colombia Filadelfia Honey product page links a certificate whose sample name reads "La Mina - Natural" — a different coffee sold on the same site. That is almost certainly a copy-paste on a Shopify product template, and it is a five-minute fix. It still means a shopper who clicks the reassuring link on that page is reading a document about a coffee they are not buying, which is exactly the failure mode that makes published testing worth less than it should be. In the same category of sloppiness rather than deception: the product pages claim "We roast our coffee immediately after an order", while the shipping policy says "we only roast coffee once a week" with roasting on Saturdays and orders held over when there is no fresh stock. Both cannot be true. The shipping policy is the more specific statement and the one we would trust, and it happens to contain the genuinely valuable commitment — "None of our coffee is shipped out if it is past 5 days of the roast date". That is a real standard, and it is the main reason to buy from a roaster at all.
The sourcing is not decorative either. Named estates, disclosed processing methods, honey and natural and washed lots, co-fermentations, Gesha and Pacamara varietals, and a Brazil lot presented as a #1 Cup of Excellence coffee from Sítio Santa Luzia — Cup of Excellence being an actual national competition rather than a self-awarded badge. Prices on 8 August 2026 run about $12.85 to $12.89 for 6oz of a typical single origin and $24.99 for 12oz, $15.99 and $29.99 for the Filadelfia, $16.95 for the co-ferment lots, $39.99 for Gesha, $79.99 for the Cup of Excellence lot, and $10.29 or $19.99 for the decaf. Three rotating subscriptions start at $18.99, $19.99 and $22.99. There are also Lelit espresso machines from $1,699.95 to $2,999.95, which we have no basis to assess and are not commenting on. The refund stance is sensible for a perishable good: no returns on coffee, but thirty days to email about a problem. The one policy oddity is a page headed "Cancellation policy" whose text is simply the returns policy, with nothing about how to cancel one of those subscriptions.
For our readers specifically, the useful part has little to do with mycotoxins. If appetite has collapsed, coffee is often one of the few pleasures still intact, and the highest-value change is what goes into the cup rather than which farm it came from: black coffee is essentially calorie-free, while a large flavoured milk drink can carry several hundred calories that do not make you feel full and displace protein you are struggling to fit in. Good beans help precisely because they are worth drinking black. Beyond that: do not make coffee the first thing of the day when gastric emptying is already slowed, move the late cup to decaf rather than abandoning the ritual, and note that while the published pH of 4.60 to 4.90 across their four core blends is admirably rare information, reflux is driven mainly by sphincter relaxation and acid stimulation rather than by the acidity of the drink — so a low-acid coffee is not a treatment, and persistent heartburn is a conversation with a clinician. Finally, if your sense of taste has shifted, buy the 6oz bag rather than the 5lb one at $123.48, which costs us commission to say and is obviously right. Our disclosure: 4% of order value, about a dollar on a $24.99 bag.
Visit Coffee BrosFrequently Asked Questions
Is the mould and mycotoxin testing real?
Yes, and it is better than we expected — we went looking for a gap and mostly did not find one. Coffee Bros links certificates of analysis issued by Cambium Analytica, 1230 Woodmere Ave, Traverse City, Michigan, which states accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under number 108157. That is the international standard for testing laboratory competence, and it is the right credential. The certificates we read are signed by Leslie Varela as Laboratory Director and Douglas Smith as VP of Scientific Operations, with samples received on 6 August 2025 and results published on 11 August 2025. The panel runs aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 by USP <561>, plus Ochratoxin A, plus a total yeast and mould plate count. Every analyte came back ND — not detected — with limits of detection of 0.001 ug/g for the toxins and 10 CFU/g for mould and yeast. The detail we want to flag in the company's favour is Ochratoxin A. The mould-free coffee marketing niche is full of vague talk about mycotoxins, and a lot of it quietly means aflatoxins only. Aflatoxins are a peanut and maize problem more than a coffee one; ochratoxin A is the mycotoxin genuinely associated with coffee. It is on every certificate we opened, and it was ND. We had assumed it would be missing, checked, and were wrong — so we are saying so rather than leaving the insinuation lying around. Where the presentation does overreach is on the other two words in the claim, which is the next question.
So what is wrong with the claim?
It names four things and the documents cover two. The product pages say: "All our coffee is third-party tested for the absence of mold, pesticides, chemicals, and mycotoxins." Mould is tested. Mycotoxins are tested, and properly. Pesticides are not on any certificate we could open — the word does not appear on them. Neither does anything that would answer to "chemicals": no residual solvents, no heavy metals, no pesticide residue screen. On an ethyl-acetate decaf that last omission is the conspicuous one, because a residual-solvent test is precisely the test a cautious buyer would want, and it is not there. Then there is the word "all". We found certificates on three products — the Decaf Roast, the Espresso Roast and La Mina. When we checked, the Ethiopia Shentawane, the Kenya AA Riara Estate and both Colombia honey co-fermentation lots had no certificate linked at all. And all three certificates we did read share a single sampling date, so this is a snapshot rather than per-batch testing. One more thing, offered as an error rather than an accusation: the Colombia Filadelfia Honey page links a certificate whose sample name is "La Mina - Natural", which is a different coffee on the same site. That looks like a copy-paste on a product template, and it is easily fixed, but a shopper who clicks it is reading a document about a coffee they are not buying. None of this makes the testing worthless — clean results from an accredited lab are worth more than the nothing most roasters offer. It means the sentence on the page should match the documents underneath it, and right now it does not.
What is the decaf, and is it worth knowing about?
It is an ethyl acetate decaf and yes, because the alternative is the thing people worry about. Coffee Bros' decaf product page describes it as "Decaf De Caña", "custom decaffeinated in Colombia, using a special, natural process that utilizes a solvent of ethyl acetate, which can be derived from fermented sugar", and lists the process as "E.A. process". Worth being clear about why that matters. The decaffeination method that attracts consumer concern is methylene chloride, and a shopper who has read about it wants to know which process was used. Coffee Bros discloses theirs, which is more than many roasters do, and it is not methylene chloride. Two honest caveats. First, the disclosure is on the product page but not in the store's product data, so it is easy to miss — we only found it by opening the page itself. Second, ethyl acetate is still a solvent, sugarcane-derived or not, and as noted above there is no residual-solvent certificate published alongside the mould and mycotoxin one. If that matters to you, the water-based decaffeination processes are the ones marketed as solvent-free, and you would need to buy elsewhere for that. On price, the decaf runs $10.29 for 6oz, $19.99 for 12oz, $52.14 for 2lb and $123.48 for 5lb, checked 8 August 2026. And for readers of this site the decaf question is not incidental: if coffee is aggravating reflux or wrecking your sleep, switching the afternoon cup to decaf changes the caffeine without taking the ritual away, which is usually the thing people are actually protecting.
They publish a pH. Does that help with reflux?
It is genuinely unusual to publish it, and it is also not the number that decides whether coffee gives you reflux. Take the useful part first. Four of Coffee Bros' products list a measured brewed value: the Light Roast and the Decaf Roast at pH 4.60 brewed hot, the Medium Roast and the Cold Brew Blend at 4.90. Almost no roaster measures this, let alone prints it, and if you have been told to avoid acidic drinks it is a real data point. Now the caveat that matters more, because getting this wrong wastes money. Coffee's tendency to provoke reflux is driven mainly by relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter and stimulation of gastric acid secretion, rather than by the pH of the liquid you swallow — stomach acid is far more acidic than any coffee. So a higher-pH or "low acid" coffee can still trigger symptoms, and "low acid" in coffee marketing usually describes perceived brightness of flavour rather than a measured pH at all. This is worth spelling out for anyone on a GLP-1 medicine, because these drugs slow gastric emptying, and reflux and heartburn are commonly reported. If coffee has started bothering you in a way it never used to, the changes with the best odds are behavioural rather than varietal: drink it with or after food rather than on an empty stomach, move it earlier in the day, cut the volume, try decaf for the later cup, and do not lie down soon after. If symptoms are frequent, persistent or new, that is a conversation with your clinician rather than a shopping decision — persistent heartburn deserves proper assessment, and no coffee purchase substitutes for that.
Why is a coffee roaster on a GLP-1 site?
Because coffee is one of the few pleasures that survives a collapse in appetite, and because what people put in it is one of the easiest calorie problems to fix. Start with the second point, since it is the practical one. Black coffee is essentially calorie-free. A large flavoured shop drink with syrup, whole milk and whipped cream can run to several hundred calories, and on a medicine that suppresses appetite those calories are unusually expensive: they do not make you feel full, and they crowd out the protein and fibre you are trying to fit into a much smaller appetite. If you are drinking your calories while struggling to eat enough protein, that is the first thing to change, and it costs nothing. Buying better beans is genuinely useful here, because good coffee is worth drinking black — the entire point of a $24.99 single origin is that it tastes of something without help. Beyond that, three things worth knowing. Caffeine takes several hours to clear, so an afternoon cup can cost you sleep, and poor sleep makes appetite regulation harder — the decaf option is not a lesser choice. Caffeine is a mild diuretic and a stimulant to bowel motility, which cuts both ways when constipation is a common complaint on these drugs: it may help, but hydration matters more. And taste perception genuinely shifts for some people during treatment, which is a real argument for buying a 6oz bag at around $10 rather than a 5lb bag at $123.48 until you know what you still enjoy. To be completely clear: coffee does not treat anything, has no bearing on how your medication works, and nothing on this page should be read as a health intervention.
How fresh is it really?
Freshness is the strongest part of the offer, and the two statements about it do not quite line up. The shipping policy is specific and checkable: "None of our coffee is shipped out if it is past 5 days of the roast date", with the note that "we only roast coffee once a week", that roasting happens on Saturdays, and that "if we have no fresh inventory, your order may be held over until our next roasting date". Coffee orders ship within one to three business days when in stock, equipment within three to four, and some rare lots ship only once a month. That five-day rule is a genuine commitment and a meaningful one — supermarket coffee is routinely months past roast, and the difference is not subtle. The wrinkle is that product pages also say "We roast our coffee immediately after an order to ensure we lock in flavors and maximize freshness", which is not the same as roasting once a week on Saturdays. Both cannot be literally true. The shipping policy is the more specific and more plausible statement, and it is the one we would rely on; the product-page line reads like marketing that outran the operation. Practical advice either way: order early in the week if you want the shortest gap to the Saturday roast, buy the smallest bag that covers two to three weeks rather than stockpiling, keep beans in an airtight container at room temperature away from light, and grind immediately before brewing rather than in advance. Do not refrigerate beans. If you are drinking noticeably less coffee than you used to, size down — a 5lb bag defeats the entire reason to buy from a roaster with a five-day rule.
What does it cost, and is it worth it?
It is specialty pricing, openly so, and whether it is worth it depends on whether you drink it black. Prices from the store on 8 August 2026: the house Decaf Roast at $10.29 for 6oz and $19.99 for 12oz; typical single origins such as the Ethiopia Shentawane, Kenya AA Riara Estate and Colombia La Mina at about $12.85 to $12.89 for 6oz and $24.99 for 12oz; the Colombia Filadelfia Honey at $15.99 and $29.99; honey and purple honey co-fermentation lots at $16.95; Gesha lots including Guatemala El Socorro and Colombia Fruit Loops at $39.99; and a Brazil #1 Cup of Excellence lot from Sítio Santa Luzia at $79.99. Three rotating subscriptions start at $18.99 for the Signature Shuffle, $19.99 for the Espresso Rotation and $22.99 for the Roaster's Pick. They also sell Lelit espresso machines from $1,699.95 to $2,999.95, which is a different purchase entirely and not one we have any basis to assess. Is it worth it? If you take your coffee black, yes, plausibly — the sourcing is real rather than decorative, with named estates, disclosed processing methods, competition lots and varietals stated. Cup of Excellence in particular is a genuine national competition rather than a marketing badge, so a #1 lot is a real distinction. If you drown your coffee in syrup and milk, no: you cannot taste a Gesha through a flavoured latte, and you would be paying for information you are discarding. And one caution specific to our readers — if your sense of taste is currently shifting, buy the 6oz bags and find out what you like now before spending $79.99 on a competition lot.
What is your verdict?
4.0 out of 5 — one of the more genuinely transparent merchants we have reviewed, held back by a claim that reaches past its own evidence. What they do well is unusual enough to lead with. They publish certificates of analysis from Cambium Analytica, a laboratory stating ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation under number 108157, and the results are clean: aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 all ND, total mould and yeast ND at 10 CFU/g, and — the part we did not expect — Ochratoxin A, the mycotoxin actually associated with coffee, tested and ND rather than quietly left off. We went in expecting to find that gap, did not, and have said so. They disclose the decaffeination method as ethyl acetate derived from fermented sugar rather than leaving you to guess about methylene chloride. They publish a measured brewed pH for their four core blends, which practically nobody does. They commit in writing that nothing ships more than five days past its roast date. And the sourcing is the real thing: named estates, disclosed processes, Gesha and Pacamara lots, a #1 Cup of Excellence coffee. Against that, the claim on the product pages says coffee is tested "for the absence of mold, pesticides, chemicals, and mycotoxins", and no certificate we opened covers pesticides or chemicals of any kind — including, on an ethyl-acetate decaf, any residual-solvent result. Several coffees had no certificate linked at all despite the word "all", the three we found share a single August 2025 sampling date, and the Colombia Filadelfia Honey page links a certificate for "La Mina - Natural", a different coffee. Add a product-page line about roasting "immediately after an order" that contradicts the shipping policy's once-a-week Saturday roast, and a page headed "Cancellation policy" that contains no cancellation terms. These are fixable presentation problems on top of a good product, not a deceptive operation — which is why this is a 4.0 and not lower. Buy the 6oz bags, drink it black, and read the certificate for the coffee you are actually buying. Our disclosure: 4% commission, roughly a dollar on a $24.99 bag, and nothing on the advice to drink it without the syrup.
Buy Small. Drink It Black.
A 6oz bag from about $10.29 while your taste is shifting, nothing shipped more than five days past roast, and the certificate for the coffee you are actually buying — open it before you trust the badge.

Date reviewed: 8 August 2026. Catalogue and prices were read from the store's public product data on that date, listing 90 products. Prices cited: Decaf Roast Coffee 6oz $10.29, 12oz $19.99, 2lb $52.14, 5lb $123.48; Ethiopia Shentawane, Colombia La Mina and Kenya AA Riara Estate at $12.85 or $12.89 for 6oz and $24.99 for 12oz; Colombia Filadelfia Honey $15.99 and $29.99; Colombia Black Honey and Purple Honey co-fermentations $16.95; Guatemala El Socorro Gesha Washed and Colombia Fruit Loops Gesha Washed $39.99; Brazil #1 Cup of Excellence Sitio Santa Luzia $79.99; Signature Shuffle subscription from $18.99, Espresso Rotation from $19.99, Roaster's Pick from $22.99; Lelit espresso machines from $1,699.95 to $2,999.95. Prices change and readers should check them. Testing: we downloaded and read three certificates of analysis linked from product pages, each issued by Cambium Analytica, 1230 Woodmere Ave, Traverse City, MI 49686, stating 'Accreditation: ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - #108157', each recording 'Client: Coffee Bros.', a received date of Wed, Aug 6, 2025 and a published date of Mon, Aug 11, 2025, reviewed by Leslie Varela, Laboratory Director, and certified by Douglas Smith, VP - Scientific Operations, and each marked 'Type/Result: Quality Assurance - Pass'. The samples were named 'Decaf Roast', 'Espresso Roast' and 'La Mina - Natural'. Each certificate reported, under 'Aflatoxins - USP <561>' by LC-TQ, results of ND for Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 and for Ochratoxin A at LOD 0.001 ug/g and LOQ 0.002 ug/g, with 'Aflatoxins (Sum of B1, B2, G1, and G2)' given as 0.000 ug/g, and under 'Total Yeast & Mold - Plate - 25g - Full Range' results of ND for Total Mold, Total Yeast and Total Yeast and Mold at LOD and LOQ of 10 CFU/g; Action Limit and Status were listed as N/A on every row. No pesticide, heavy metal or residual solvent analyte appeared on any of the three certificates. The claim we compared them against, as published on product pages, reads: 'Mold and Mycotoxin Free All our coffee is third-party tested for the absence of mold, pesticides, chemicals, and mycotoxins.' The certificate linked from the Colombia Filadelfia Honey product page bears the sample name 'La Mina - Natural'. On the six product pages we checked for certificate links, none was present for Colombia Black Honey, Colombia Purple Honey, Ethiopia Shentawane or Kenya AA Riara Estate; this reflects those pages on the date checked and is not a claim that no certificate exists elsewhere. Decaffeination: the decaf product page states the coffee is 'custom decaffeinated in Colombia, using a special, natural process that utilizes a solvent of ethyl acetate, which can be derived from fermented sugar', names it 'Decaf De Cana', describes the process as working 'by soaking green coffee in a solution of E.A.', and lists 'Process: E.A. process'. pH: four products publish a brewed value - Light Roast Coffee and Decaf Roast Coffee at 'pH LEVEL: 4.60 - brewed hot', Medium Roast Coffee and Cold Brew Coffee Blend at 4.90; the remaining products in the catalogue publish none. Policies: the shipping policy states 'we only roast coffee once a week', 'All coffee orders, if the item is in stock, will ship within 1-3 business days', 'None of our coffee is shipped out if it is past 5 days of the roast date, and if we have no fresh inventory, your order may be held over until our next roasting date (on Saturdays)', with equipment shipping in 3-4 business days and certain rare coffees shipping once a month; product pages separately state 'FRESHLY ROASTED: We roast our coffee immediately after an order' and 'all coffee sent will be within 5 days of roast date'. The refund policy states 'Coffee is perishable and is roasted to order, so we're unable to accept returns on coffee' and directs customers to email hello@coffeebros.com 'within 30 days of your purchase'; the page headed 'Cancellation policy' contained only that returns text and no subscription cancellation terms on the date checked. Statements about ochratoxin A being the mycotoxin associated with coffee, about reflux being driven principally by lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation and gastric acid stimulation rather than beverage pH, about caffeine clearance, and about calorie content of black versus flavoured coffee drinks are general background and clinical observation, not claims made by the retailer. We did not purchase, receive or taste any product, and we have not independently tested any coffee.

This programme pays 4% of order value, roughly a dollar on a $24.99 bag, and we earn less when readers follow our advice to buy the smallest bag rather than the largest. We earn nothing on the guidance about drinking coffee black, timing it around food, or switching the later cup to decaf. This does not influence our editorial content or review ratings.
