How to Choose a Coffee of the Month Club

Whether you’re a dedicated coffee fanatic or just starting to explore new varieties, a coffee of the month club is a fun way to keep fresh beans on hand. The majority of these clubs send a percentage of the beans (ground or whole) and allow you to choose your roast preference. If you’re interested in a specific blend, most also allow you to purchase the full bag directly from the coffee roaster.

Some of these clubs also offer a variety of options in terms of frequency of delivery, helping you conserve your beans and avoid having them go stale. To maximize your savings, make sure you choose a club that offers pre-ground beans for your preferred brewing method.

If you’re unsure of your preferences, many coffee subscriptions help you figure out what you like through quizzes or questionnaires. Some, like Atlas Coffee Club, source their beans from different international locations, letting you try unique picks each month.

Another option, Driftaway Coffee, highlights artisanal roasters from Seattle and has a subscription that starts at a very affordable price. Their Coffee of the Month Club delivers 12 ounce bags of whole or ground beans and comes with tasting notes and tips for brewing the perfect cup of joe.

If you love Peet’s, their single origin coffee subscription is a great way to try some of their most famous blends. They also offer a new Volcanica subscription that delivers high-quality beans from renowned volcanic regions.
