FAQs
General Questions
Which Brew Method do you recommend?
FRINJ Coffee can be brewed many different ways, but most people choose a drip brew method. This can include a pour over or auto drip, which is similar to a pour over. We also have people that enjoy French Press and Aero Press. One of the fun things about fine coffee is the ability to explore different brewing methods that fit your style and your palate.
Do you sell decaffeinated coffee?
No, we do not sell decaffeinated coffee but we do sell Laurina, a rare coffee which naturally offers about half the caffeine content of a typical coffee. It is wonderfully sweet and spicy and perfect for those who want to experience fine coffee with a lighter caffeine content.
When will I be billed to the coffee club?
We bill on the 10th day of each month.
When will my order be shipped?
We are roast to order so to ensure the freshest coffee we ship within two days of roasting.

Where did the name FRINJ come from?
FRINJ is a name that Jay Ruskey came up with years ago. The name is defined to be on the edge but still connected to the main body. Jay feels that what we are doing with coffee and crops is the cutting edge and FRINJ represents that well. Also, the spelling is a tribute to Jay’s poor spelling.
