A coffee subscription means you can get high quality, freshly roasted beans right to your door, the office, or wherever else you want to make a good cup of coffee. Coffee subscriptions are completely worth it in our opinion; if you love good coffee and convenience, a subscription is the way to go.
What is a coffee subscription?
Purchasing a coffee subscription means signing up to have freshly roasted coffee delivered to you at regular intervals. You will typically be charged each time the subscription is triggered for renewal, so when and what you pay is also very consistent.
Different roasters will approach subscription options in various ways. Some companies are curators rather than roasters, essentially selling a range in coffee subscription boxes - this can be a fun way to try smaller coffee roasters who may not offer their own services, but some coffee lovers will have personal preferences already that outweigh the novelty.
Other roasters still may only have set options or bundles (i.e. the subscription is not available for individual bags), and payment options can range from fixed schedules to pay-as-you-go models.
Are coffee subscriptions cheaper?
Yes, there is often a cost savings benefit to subscribing. Instead of buying individual bags at retail price, most roasters will offer a discount on subscriptions as a gesture of thanks for your loyalty. Some of these discounts might be tiered depending on the amount you order at once, or how frequently you order - or, some places might offer free shipping for coffee subscriptions if they don’t have an outright product discount. In any case, you can often save money with a coffee subscription.

3 benefits of a coffee subscription
The main benefit of coffee subscriptions lies in their consistency: Consistent fresh coffee taste, consistent access to the product, and consistent delivery frequency at your pace. Here’s some more detail:
1. Your coffee is always fresh
Preserving coffee freshness is an underrated art; good quality packaging from the roaster can be crucial here to keep your beans protected while they travel to you. For example, our roasting facility packages coffee beans in nitrogen-flushed, one-way valve bags that reduce any residual oxygen and slow the oxidation process. That means your coffee is always full of aroma and flavour when it arrives.
How you store your coffee at home is important too, so make sure you have an airtight container and a cool, dark, dry place to keep your beans once the bag has been opened.

2. Your coffee beans come to you, wherever you are
If you are time-poor, or live too far away from your local coffee roasters, subscriptions can be an excellent option. You can enjoy your favourite beans without having to do any additional legwork.
An office coffee subscription is also a great way to power productivity.
Subscriptions are a great way to experiment with your taste preference - if you can update your subscription service easily, you can switch between blends and preferred roast level until you find your favourite brew.
Some roasters, like Vittoria Coffee even have international shipping options, providing premium beans to loyal customers worldwide.
3. You’ll never run out of coffee again
No more hassle from emergency supermarket runs, or buying coffee online via manual order each time - once you set up a coffee subscription plan, you can essentially forget about it. Your coffee order will automatically renew, be sent, and arrive without you having to give it a second thought.
Subscriptions for coffee are designed to be incredibly convenient. They are perfect for busy people who simply lack the time to shop around or stock up in person - especially for those who forget they need to get more beans until they open an empty container.
How to find the best coffee subscriptions
There’s a few items to consider when deciding whether a coffee subscription is worth it for you - and from there, which coffee subscription service is the right fit. Ask yourself:
How much coffee do you drink every week?
Your coffee drinking frequency will ultimately determine how much coffee you go through, so you can then work out how much you would need to order when you subscribe. Some models will only offer larger quantities for subscriptions, and others will allow you to choose whatever you need.
What delivery frequency options are on offer?
If you don’t drink a lot of coffee, but you have to buy a lot to reap the benefits of a particular subscription, you’re going to end up with more than you need with regular deliveries.
If you consume a lot of coffee or are ordering for a shared home or workplace, you could find yourself short on your fresh coffee supply - or having to order larger quantities to compensate, which you then have to store correctly.
How important is quality coffee to you?
There’s a wide range of coffee subscription services available, and they’re not all equal.
You might prefer specialty coffee as well, as this has the most stringent quality requirements.
You will also want to ensure that you receive fresh coffee beans in your order. Try checking how your beans will be packaged to ensure the flavours and aromas will be preserved as well as possible.
What are the company's reviews like?
This can be less to do with the coffee itself, and more to do with the customer experience. By starting a subscription service you essentially form a sort of relationship with the supplier - so it is a good idea to check that they take care of their customers, and honour any promises around delivery, quality, and what happens if something goes awry with your order.
