COFFEE

Working with independent coffee roasters, Wonky Coffee rescues surplus coffee, repackages it and sells it on to customers – thus reducing waste. Its in-house Q Grader checks the taste, colour and grade of each batch to ensure quality and to provide a detailed profile of each blend. Since its coffee selection is ever-changing, its Coffee Subscription (from £3.99) is a great way to try something new while also doing good for the planet. wonkycoffee.com
