This post is mostly for me to look at alternatives. I currently subscribe to Trade. But recently I’ve been hearing about their bad practices like sending packages with wrong weight, or paying very little money to the roasters.
If you like your current subscription, please place a link so that others can check it out. If you don’t, and want to switch, tell why so that I can avoid it too.
I subscribe to coffee from my local roastery, which is great.
I do have some nice local roasteries. But I like some variety. So subscriptions that include multiple roasteries are ideal for me.
Do any of them do single origin roasts? My local roastery does new single origin roasts every month, so we get variety with a single subscription.
Here’s a shameless plug for Nossa Familia Coffee in Portland, Oregon. I’m the head roaster there and we have a subscription service.
I have been buying from HappyMug for years, I do a subscription thing with them that gets me one bag of one of their blends that I picked and then one bag of single origin coffee every month. I’m very happy with it.
I couldn’t find any subscriptions on their website. Can you provide a link?
It looks like they’ve changed the way they do it a bit they now have these (this is light to med, there’s another one for med-dark roast): https://happymugcoffee.com/products/roasters-choice-a
Same for me. I usually have a “daily drinker” to keep me awake at work and then something nicer for weekends. I’ve been quite happy getting a bag of their roasters choice every couple weeks so that I have something fresh and new for the weekends when I can enjoy it more.
Their prices are very reasonable and I’ve received some bags that I would not have picked out myself but really enjoyed.
Yes. I get my coffee from a local roaster as a subscription. A couple bags a month guaranteed at the same price each month, sometimes a few extra goodies in my box, a free cup of coffee in house every day of the month, and a discount on merchandise and coffee.
The roaster is Caravan Coffee. They ship, too, but I’m relatively local so I just pick my box in person. https://caravancoffee.com/
