What To Know About Coffee Subscriptions

A coffee subscription can be a great solution if you find yourself out of beans and without a refill on a pretty regular basis. There are a few things to consider before you subscribe to ensure you have the best experience possible.

Ground or whole bean? Many coffee subscriptions will send you bags of whole coffee beans to grind yourself, in which case, you may want to invest in a good coffee grinder. Some services will grind beans for you depending on your coffee maker. If you're not sure what size grind you need, check out our guide on coffee brewing methods.

How many bags? This is more of a kitchen storage question. Depending on the service, some subscriptions come with multiple bags of beans at a time. Make sure you have space to store the bags in a cool, dry place so they stay as fresh as possible until you're ready to brew.

How much does it cost? Quality coffee doesn't have to be expensive. Depending on your budget, you can find a subscription service that's a solid value without sacrificing flavor or ethical practices.

What about the coffee? Whether you're a self-proclaimed coffee snob or are an open-minded explorer when it comes to roasts and origins, there's a coffee subscription to fit your tastes. Newbies and those looking to try new blends should opt for services that pick beans for you. Those who know what they like should opt for more consumer-led services that put the buyer in control.

Based on price of bagged coffee

If you love trying new local coffees, look no further.

Looking for flavorful coffee without the addition of sugar and cream? So was Kris Christian, which sparked the idea of grinding up dried fruits, chocolate and nuts into her coffee beans to achieve her ideal cup of coffee. What resulted was Chicago French Press, which now carries five hand-flavored, organic and single-origin coffee blends, including Maple Pecan, Peach Nectar and Coconut Cream. With a Chicago French Press subscription, you’ll get either a 3-ounce or 8-ounce bag of your choice plus a 3-ounce surprise flavor each month.
