If it sounds too good to be true, it isn’t. A coffee subscription is a cheap way to have an expert source beans for you, looking out for the coffee you’ll enjoy the most, and then deliver it right to your home.

8 Best Coffee Subscription Brands 2024

1. Atlas Coffee Club

If you’ve always wanted to try coffee from all over the world but don’t have the budget for it, the Atlas coffee subscription program is perfect for you. 

Atlas Coffee Club curates high quality micro-lot coffees from over 50 countries.

This means that every month, you can try a coffee from some of the best coffee-growing countries in the world, including Ethiopia, Colombia, and Indonesia!

With the promise of a totally new coffee and roasters in each delivery, you’ll never get tired of drinking brews from all around the world!

Here’s how Atlas Coffee Club decides which coffee to send you.

First, you have the option of choosing how many bags of beans you want in each shipment. You can decide on a 6 ounce, 12 ounce or double (2 x 12 oz).

You can also pick how often you want Atlas to make their delivery. Options include coffee delivered either bi-weekly or every four weeks if you’re trying to save on their (nominal) shipping cost.

Importantly, Atlas Coffee Club takes into account your roast preference. You have the option of ordering light to medium or medium to dark roasts. And if you’re not picky, you can opt to receive all roast types that Atlas feels you would enjoy!

Lastly, this subscription coffee gives you the option to order either whole beans or pre-ground beans. While buying beans whole, in general, is the way to go you’ll need to accompany it with a high quality burr grinder which you might not have (spoiler: you should!).

To make a long story short, Atlas Coffee Club describes their subscription as a “world coffee tour”, and that’s exactly what you’ll be getting from this coffee subscription. It’s a fun and adventurous way to brighten up your mornings and acquaint yourself with some of the best bags of coffee from around the world!

2. Trade Coffee

If you’re looking for something that gives you more say on which coffee you get in every order, a Trade Coffee subscription is also a great option. It’s also useful that you get 30% off on your first purchase!

Trade Coffee collaborates with some of the best roasters from all over the U.S. to give you the coffee that’s right for you. 

So how does Trade Coffee figure out which beans they think you should try? Upon signing up for a coffee subscription, you’ll be answering a test to help their experts decide!

The questions range from whether you’re a newbie to the coffee scene or a “total coffee nerd”, to how adventurous you’re willing to be with your coffee. Do you stick to what you like, or are you looking for something different?

They also take into account your roast preference and how you usually brew and drink your coffee. Do you prefer sipping on cold brew, espresso, or are you more of a pour over fan like myself?

Trade uses all of this information to suggest different coffee types that they think you should try, including flavor notes and some information on the roasters. They’ll let you pick which of their coffee recommendations looks most appealing to you!

What’s great about this coffee subscription is that you can choose to keep trying new coffee types or repeat an order of a particular bag of coffee that you like. It’s super flexible that way, and genuinely catered to your coffee needs!

After that, all that’s left is to decide how many bags you want to order, how often, and whether you want your beans whole or ground. Then, you get to choose whether you want beans every week, every other week, or every three weeks.

After that, you can let Trade coffee handle the rest. They’ll coordinate with their partner roasters to deliver your freshly roasted coffee right to your doorstep. With free shipping too!

I like this subscription because you have the option to choose exactly which coffee comes to your door and repeat an order seamlessly. If choice makes you anxious, don’t worry, Trade will narrow down the best choices for you from over their selection of 400 coffees to just 3. So you won’t have to worry about analysis-paralysis!

3. Angel’s Cup

Are you on a mission to try as many types of coffee as you possibly can within your lifetime? If that’s the case, there are thousands of people who trust Angel’s Cup to give them a new, broad selection of coffee beans every week.

This is the coffee subscription for the curious. All you have to do is indicate to Angel’s Cup the size of the samples you want, how often you want your coffee delivered, your preferred roast profile, and whether you want your coffee whole or pre-ground.

There’s the Black Box option, which gives you 4 large samples. There’s also the Cupping Flight option for about half the price if you just want a taste of each coffee. Lastly, there’s the All Stars option, which is slightly pricier.

What makes this different from the previous options on this list is that it offers both a coarse and fine grind alternative for pre-ground coffee, depending on your preferred brewing method.

After that, you indicate whether it’s a personal purchase or a gift, to finalize the payment terms. Angel’s Cup and their partner roasters will take care of the rest! Expect four new, freshly roasted coffees at your doorstep. And you get to choose whether that’s weekly, every other week, or monthly.

If you find that you fall in love with one of those samples and want to put a ring on it, you can cancel your subscription and order directly from their website.

A word of warning: Angel’s Cup doesn’t restock their beans. So all of their high quality selections have limited availability, and grab what you enjoy while you can!

4. Bean Box

If you’ve read some of our other articles, you’ll know that we’re huge fans of Bean Box. The main reason is that they only get coffee from award-winning roasters. And it’s no secret that they offer some of the best artisan coffee choices in the world.

Bean Box gives you two ways to enjoy their expertly curated and freshly roasted coffee. The most popular service is a coffee bag subscription, where they send you a 12-ounce bag of coffee at the frequency of your choice with free delivery. They can send it weekly for, biweekly for, or monthly. The more often you order, the more economical it becomes!

Like Angel’s Cup, they also have a tasting subscription at a more affordable price point each month. Here they send you 4 different 2-ounce bags of coffee every 30 days.

The tasting subscription is a great and affordable way for you to expand your palate while giving yourself unlimited variety in your morning cups of coffee!

Once you’ve chosen which subscription is more appealing to you, just tell Bean Box your roast preferences and whether you want whole or pre-ground coffee. Then, Bean Box and their partner roasters will make sure to get their rare micro-lot coffees to your doorstep fresh and fast!

If you come across a particular cup of coffee that you like, you can order it directly off Bean Box’s website. Whether you opt for a tasting subscription or a coffee bag subscription, one thing’s for sure: you know you’re getting world-class coffee whenever you order from Bean Box.

5. Driftaway Coffee Club

Sustainability is a buying factor that has become increasingly important for many coffee guzzlers over the past few years. It’s something Driftaway Coffee Club values too. And that’s why they deliver coffee that’s sustainable in every sense of the word.

Driftaway Coffee sources their beans responsibly by fairly compensating their partner roasters and farmers. And they also use 100% compostable packaging for their coffee.

Driftaway Coffee Club is unique because they don’t rely on a quiz to send you beans that you like. Their first delivery is a tasting kit with four different coffees. And they all have their own roast profile: a light roast, medium roast, light-medium roast, and medium-dark roast.

How you rate these beans is what helps Driftaway determine your taste profile. In turn, they use this profile to decide which bag of coffee to send you every month. If you want to save some money, you can save about a bag worth by ordering for the next 6 months in advance.

There’s no better way to know what kind of coffee you like than by actually tasting your options. The only downside to getting a Driftaway subscription is that they really cater to your taste profile. So if you’re looking to get out of your coffee comfort zone, this might not be the subscription for you.

But if you already know exactly what you want, Driftaway could be your perfect match! Driftaway’s coffee subscription is easily customizable. You can rate and review ongoing deliveries, so they can adjust which coffees you take a liking to. And if there’s a particular coffee you want to have again, you can request it for your next delivery.

All in all, Driftaway Coffee Club caters to the needs of its customers, partner farmers and roasters, and the environment. So if you’re looking for a subscription where everybody wins, look no further!

6. Mistobox

Mistobox is a coffee subscription that has been around for almost ten years. And since they first started, they’ve partnered with 52 roasters to give their clients the best new coffee possible.

Mistobox offers three different coffee subscriptions. Their basic subscription offers the cheapest coffee near $10 a bag. This is followed by the deluxe subscription, which provides a more premium set of coffee beans for approx 20% more. Finally, the exclusive subscription gives you the highest quality coffee 50% more than the basic range. 

All you have to do is take their quiz to help Mistobox curate the right coffee for you. This includes questions about how you usually take your coffee, which roast profile you tend to prefer, and whether you want to get your coffee whole or pre-ground.

They also allow the option of getting a decaf alternative, a blend, or even espresso beans. Some subscriptions only offer single origins. And while many coffee lovers would often prefer that, it’s hard to speak for absolutely everyone.

Mistobox also gives you the option to receive your beans every week, every 2 weeks, every 3 weeks, or every 4 weeks. Once you’ve settled your desired delivery frequency and payment method, the real fun starts: their coffee subscription is 100% compatible with Brew Queue and Alexa.

Using Brew Queue, you can select which of their 590 coffees you want them to send you. While this might be overwhelming for some, it’s also great for people who already know what they like (or want to try).

Meanwhile, you can ask Alexa to give you updates about your coffee, customize your delivery schedule, or even reorder a particular roast that you liked. Mistobox lives in the future, and so can you.

7. Blue Bottle Coffee

Blue Bottle is widely regarded as one of the best coffee companies in the world. If someone were to choose which coffee I should drink every morning, I’d definitely trust (and want) them to do it.

If you’re a bit skeptical as to whether this coffee subscription will give you bang for your buck, don’t worry. Blue Bottle offers a free trial so you can give it a shot risk-free!

But even though it’s relatively pricey compared to other coffee subscriptions, it’s not just a subscription for coffee. Blue Bottle will also give you early access to their new products and VIP events. So if you want to live the coffee high life, this subscription could be for you.

Like with most of the coffee subscriptions on this list, all you have to do is take a quiz. The questions range from asking what your favorite brewing method is, to your favorite salad dressing. I’m not sure what knowing your favorite salad dressing tells them about your taste in coffee. But it does tell me that these guys know their cup of joe like no one else.

You can choose whether you want an assortment of single-origin beans, blends, or espresso beans. Along with how much coffee you want and how often you wish to receive it. Once you finish, you can get started with your free trial.

And lastly, if you have a particular Blue Bottle blend that you like, you can subscribe to just that coffee!

8. Crema Coffee

If you’re looking to have total control over the beans you get from your coffee subscription, Crema Coffee might just be for you. They believe that no one knows which coffee you’ll enjoy more than you do.

Interestingly, Crema offers two coffee subscriptions: one for your home and one for the office.

For both plans, first, you’ll have to take a quiz. While Crema won’t surprise you with a coffee you didn’t pick, they do make recommendations based on how adventurous you want to be.

Then, there are other questions, such as your favorite tasting notes and even how you prefer to eat lemons (strange, but if it helps, alright). Once you’re done, they’ll use your answers to make recommendations from their selection of 450 different coffees.

These coffees vary in size and price. Some 12-ounce bags are cheaper than 10-ounce bags, so you’ll just have to get the coffee that most appeals to you.

They also allow you to choose between buying whole beans, coarse ground, medium ground, or fine ground coffee. And they even have decaf alternatives for those who want coffee without the caffeine!

If you don’t want to choose from Crema’s recommendations, you can also choose from their catalog yourself. Just add the coffees you want to your “playlist”, and they’ll “play” you these favorite coffees throughout your subscription!

Although, If you’re not sure where to start at all, Crema Coffee also offers what they call “Coffee Flights”. These are samplers of 3 two-ounce or four-ounce bags, containing different categories of coffee. The assortment here includes options for cold brew, espresso, blends, Ethiopian coffee beans, decafs, and various other single origins.

Crema also has a wide range of shipping frequencies available. From every 3 days to every month, they’ll deliver fresh bags of coffee to you whenever you need them. And just like with your Spotify playlist, you have the option to update or pause your Crema playlist anytime!

The Final Verdict

Our favorite coffee subscription on this list is the Atlas Coffee Club subscription. For me personally, I like that every delivery is a mystery. I’m happy just to tag along for the ride and let them surprise me every month.

But not all coffee drinkers are like me. You may not enjoy the mystery as much as I do, and instead, look for coffee to try out yourself. If that’s the case, there are many such subscriptions on this list, such as the Crema Coffee or Trade Coffee subscriptions.

At the end of the day, it’s your money going into the subscription you choose, so make sure the one you pick is what fits your preferences the best. And if it doesn’t work out, no worries–there’s no lack of options out there for you!
