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 prefer local roasters, but if you need variety and a stand up company, I have been happy with Atlas. Their selection does start to repeat after awhile, but their beans are not dissapointing.

    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.

      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.

    I have two great single-location coffee shops who do subscriptions by mail, I have one coming once per month and another coming once per week and when I get bored I switch them.

    Local to me, but https://www.modest.coffee/ offers subscriptions as well.

    I haven’t subscribed because different times of year I order from Modest or pick up from another local roaster, but the beans I get were typically roasted a day or so before shipping.
