Coffee subscriptions are the perfect way to make sure you never run out. They also give you the freedom to try tons of new flavours and brews without committing to loads of coffee you might end up not enjoying that much. Depending on how much coffee you drink though, it might be worth thinking about whether having a coffee sub is right for you. As convenient as it is, it may or may not save you money.
Pros
– Explore different beans and roasting methods to find your fave.
– Mostly save you money so long as you’re a regular drinker
– You can do your homework on the where the coffee has come from, if it’s sustainable and fairtrade and how it’s processed.
– The online subscriptions from roasters will have a far broader range than your local supermarket, so you’ll never get bored of your brew.
Cons
– Some subscriptions don’t let you pick the coffee you receive, so you have little control on what you end up drinking.
– It can be higher costs depending on if you’re buying directly from the roaster or not.
– You may not get great value for money after you’ve paid for shipping. If shipping isn’t included it may be worth buying multiple bags in a single-bag subscription.
