Meet the passionate founders of Exhale
Founded by husband and wife team, Al and Kirsty, Exhale was launched in lockdown 2020 as a result of Al's 7 year battle with auto-immunity.
He learnt that by following a naturally healthy, balanced lifestyle (and by having the right amount of obsession!) we are all capable of anything we dream of.
The hardest part is taking those first steps, every day, which is where ridiculously healthy coffee comes in! It's your motivation in a cup 😁
A true family owned and run business
Their first ever hires:
👧🏻 Laura, Kirsty's sister-in-law who still runs customer services 4 years later!
🧑🏻 Kaspar, their next door neighbour who still runs ops.
👦🏻 Tom, Kirsty's brother who fled to follow a career on stage!
Overcoming adversity to follow a dream
After feeling like he was 'slowly dieing from the inside out', Al has regained control of his health, completed multiple ultramarathons, marathon swims and an Ironman; and has followed a dream to live by a surfing beach in Portugal.
It was kickstarting his health journey with the transformational power of coffee that made all this possible. He's now on a mission to spread healthy coffee with the world!
FAQs
If you have any questions, however big or small, please email Laura on hey@exhalecoffee.com and she'll be happy to help.

How will Exhale make me feel?
Rather than answer this ourselves here are what other customers feel after drinking Exhale (all verified Trust Pilot reviews):

Can you back up your bold claims?
This is our favourite question! There have been over 21,000 studies published on coffee or caffeine so there is very little about coffee we don't know.
For a full write up on why coffee is healthy, listing dozens of studies supporting our claims, visit The Science page.
For a full explanation of how our unique process is designed to create a ridiculously healthy and uncompromisingly sustainable coffee visit Our Process.
We also have written a broad range of articles explaining almost any question you could have on coffee and health, in depth, all fully cited, in our Journal.
How much should I drink for maximum benefits?
The research is clear - for the maximum health benefits from coffee you should drink 3 to 5 cups a day (or 2 to 3 mugs). Read our article on how much coffee is too much?
1 x 450g bag contains around 30 mugs of coffee.
If you're sensitive to caffeine try mixing our regular coffee and our decaf for a half-caf. Or go for our decaf.
Is it instant coffee?
No, it needs brewing in something like a cafetiere, AeroPress, espresso machine or dripper etc.
It's well worth the effort though because it's healthier and more delicious!
Check out the merch section of our website for our Team Exhale approved kit.
Instant coffee has been linked to some nasty diseases and has 4 times the amount of mould / mycotoxins on average! Read our article reviewing the latest research.
Why is Exhale Coffee more expensive?
Pound for pound it’s the same price as other speciality grade, organic certified coffees. But with Exhale you’re getting a coffee that's scientifically verified healthy. Through 9 different independent lab tests we ensure it's especially high in polyphenols, antioxidants and vitamin B3 while being free from contaminants like mycotoxins and pesticides.
Our subscription price includes next day delivery, fully tracked direct to your door which is worth over £3.50 in itself.
Finally, we send it in plastic free packaging from renewable plant-based sources. Hope you think it’s worth it!
Is Exhale coffee mould and mycotoxin free?
It is indeed. We test every shipment of our coffee at an independent lab for pesticides, mould, yeasts, mycotoxins and heavy metals to verify the coffees absolute purity.
It is then stored in GrainPro ultra-hermetic sealed bags in a temperature controlled environment.
Most supermarket bought coffees were roasted and ground months before you buy them leaving them likely to stale and open to contamination. All our coffee is roasted fresh weekly to make sure you’re drinking the freshest, cleanest possible brew.
If you want to know more, read our article on why you should avoid mycotoxins and learn how they're a bigger issue than you may think in coffee.
How can coffee be healthy?
Coffee comes from a fruit and like any other fruit is packed full of naturally healthy compounds. The most beneficial being polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid.
Through over roasting and poor handling these compounds are often significantly reduced in other coffees. Studies show up to a 31-fold difference between some cups of coffee!
During our unique process we sourced a bean naturally high in the healthiest compounds and roasted in a way that locks in as much of them as possible.
We also keep out the bad and our organic coffee also independently tested to be free from moulds, mycotoxins, pesticides and other nasties.
Do you add anything to Exhale coffee to make it healthy?
No we don't, because we don't need to!
A good quality coffee that's been treated right is as healthy as any other 'superfood' on the planet.
There's a modern trend towards taking poor quality ingredients (such as instant coffee, read our blog on that here) and adding whatever the latest fad, on-trend superfood is to make it 'healthy' again.
We instead took the care to (obsessively) look after every stage from farm to cup and work with the wonderful things naturally in our coffee already.
It definitely wasn't the easiest option, but it's the best one for you and the planet and that's what matters to us. 😁
Can I get health benefits from all coffees?
Yes you can, but multiple studies show the quantity of the healthiest compounds vary immensely from coffee to coffee.
In 2014 one study tested 104 espressos from cafes in Scotland, Italy and Spain and found a 31 fold difference between the highest and lowest concentrations of coffee's healthiest compound!
Coffee makes me anxious / jittery, will Exhale be better?
It should... One study shows that polyphenols counteract the negative effects of caffeine, reducing anxiousness. So a high polyphenol coffee like Exhale should reduce the jittery effects from caffeine.
This has been confirmed by lots of our customers who have reported this (just search for jitters or anxious in our Trust Pilot reviews).
However, everyone is unique so it’s impossible to say for certain how you will react. And if you're really worried then we also do a cracking decaf.
I’d love to know how you get on so please drop me an email on alex@exhalecoffee.com if you do try it.
Will Exhale coffee make me perform better?
Yes. It's true.
Caffeine is one of the few scientifically proven 'ergogenic aids to performance'. Meaning it will help you preform better, on average 11-12% better according to 2x meta-analyses!
However, unlike other coffees, Exhale coffee is also high in polyphenols which studies have shown can improve both sprint and endurance performance.
So in Exhale coffee the caffeine and polyphenols work synergistically to give you a double performance boost! Win win!!
For more, read our blog on how to use coffee to set a new PB.
Is decaf as healthy?
Most of the health benefits are the same across the caffeinated and decaf versions, with only a minor magnification of effects in some areas due to the ‘entourage effect’. So you’re still onto a winner with the decaf.
The areas where decaf isn't as protective are broadly:
- Liver health. Coffee is very protectiive of the liver. Those effects are more pronounced in regular coffee.
- Cognitive health. Especially age-related cognitive benefits are slightly less pronounced in decaf.
I wouldn’t worry though, if you’re not a fan of caffeine (or it's not a fan of you!), the decaf is still packed full of antioxidants and polyphenols so is hugely beneficial.
Is Exhale coffee as healthy for the planet as it is for people?
We try our best to make sure it is.
Health, taste AND sustainability were genuinely equally prioritised at every stage of our process. Whcih was recognised by our B Corp certification.
So technically there could be a healthier coffee out there (shhh!) but perhaps it didn't pay a fair price to the farmer, or was grown with polluting, non-organic pesticides, in which case we wouldn't touch it.



Coffee isn't bad for us, we're bad for coffee.
Good work on reading this far! But if you're still undecided, then it may be because you're wondering how on earth can coffee, that lifeless brown caffeine water, have all these benefits?
Well, coffee comes from a fruit. Inside these ripening Rubiaceae cherries are coffee beans and they're bursting with fruity goodness.
But through poor processing and over roasting coffee can lose up to 90% of its healthiest compounds and gain some pretty nasty ones too. We humans are good at that!
At Exhale, our unique process is designed to lock more of coffee's natural fruity goodness than any other. By working with nature, guided by science, we've crafted a coffee that can benefit your long term health in tangible ways.
