Ready to have a brew-tiful morning? Why not upgrade your coffee routine with a coffee subscription? These coffee subscription services make delectable, affordable coffee a few clicks away. You’ll enjoy professional barista-level coffee at home, save some money on your café habit, and perhaps even discover a new roast or two to stockpile for, oh, the next bajillion hectic work mornings you have on the calendar.
Choosing the best coffee subscription service for you (or the lucky coffee connoisseur in your life) is largely a matter of personal preference. When looking for that hug in a mug, we recommend zooming in on what kind of roast and type of coffee (whole bean, ground, instant, or K-cups) you’re looking for in a subscription service. If caffeine makes you jittery, or you avoid it completely, you’re obviously going to want to opt for a service that offers decaf options — we’ve highlighted several, too.
For many, sustainability initiatives and ethical sourcing when it comes to coffee purchasing are top of mind, so look for brands that partner with small farmers and implement organic practices into their coffee cultivation. Supporting independent roasters is a great choice, too (Bean Box, for instance, works with indie coffee roasters across the country and Partners Coffee is a small-batch coffee roaster in Brooklyn, New York).
Last but not least, consider the amount of coffee you’re ordering. You don’t want 5 pounds of espresso taking up precious counter space or feel pressured to chug more java than you can tolerate.
Pick either a pre-paid gift subscription or an ongoing coffee subscription for your household’s caffeine needs. Carefully-sourced coffee beans are roasted in Brooklyn with this stellar coffee subscription program that lets you choose from nine coffee selections in a range of quantities and grinds (whole bean, drip, and cold brew, to name a few).
Subscribers also get early access to new roasts and can manage their subscription via text message. You can even send a text to a coffee expert if you have any questions.
Dark and toasty, espresso, decaf, light and bright, medium and cozy … how are we ever going to decide what kind of whole bean or freshly ground coffee to order? Our answer: Curator’s Choice, and leave it to the Bean Box team.
Still, you really can’t go wrong with this top-notch coffee platform which, in addition to monthly, biweekly, and weekly subscription plans, also has a slew of great coffee gifts. World Coffee Tour, Coffee + Chocolate Tasting Box, and Bean Box Coffee Sampler are our top picks if you’re giving a present to a mocha guy or gal in your life.
Flexible deliveries? A carefully culled collection of 400-plus coffees? Supporting local farmers? Expect all of the above with Trade Coffee. The big draw here, however, is the human-powered algorithm to match you with more than 60 roasters across the country and to personalize the experience to your preferences. For coffee aficionados in your life, we also love their gift coffee subscription option.

Best Instant Coffee
Waka Coffee Colombian Medium Roast Instant Coffee 8-Ounce Bag
Fan of instant coffee? Waka Coffee’s instant coffee is made from 100% Arabica beans and is freeze-dried to ensure the flavor is locked into every sip. The high-quality instant coffee comes with free shipping and 12% savings on the brand’s 8-ounce bags when you subscribe through the brand’s website.
With palate-pleasing choices like Tabi Yellow Honey (a medium-light roast with notes of caramel, green apple, and yellow fruits) and Ember River (a medium-dark roast with notes of hazelnut, cherry, red fruits, and raw sugar cane), this ethically-sourced coffee company has plenty of fantastic roasts in whole bean and ground options.
As delightful as its java, this Colombian coffee company implements many practices that are good for the planet, from reusing the cherry pulp as fertilizer to paying to offset their carbon emissions from shipping their products. They also pay farmers 10-15% above market value, helping empower Colombians to improve their quality of life.
What pairs better with coffee than a good book and a chill Sunday morning? Okay, throw a comfy couch or chair in the mix, too. This subscription club allows for whole bean and ground coffee plan options, and subscribers can select genres ranging from fantasy and romance to non-fiction and mystery. Whatever you choose, you’re in for a page-turner and mug-sipper.
If you’re looking for the most java options, go for Caribbrew (you can also check them out on Amazon here). Flexibility is the name of the game here, with K-cups, ground, or whole beans available.
The socially-conscious, minority-owned company partners with more than 4,000 small-scale coffee growers in Haiti, so you know that each cup you enjoy is also making an impact in impoverished communities. The organically-grown, roasted-to-order coffee is absolutely delectable, to boot.
Kion Clean Coffee gives 10% off every subscription order (choose delivery for every one, two, or three months). For health-focused and eco-conscious coffee sippers, take comfort in knowing that each batch of Kion Clean Coffee is sourced from 100% organic Arabica beans that are grown and harvested on sustainable, fair-trade coffee cooperatives.
The company also regularly tests its coffee for icky substances like mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides. Bonus: The coffee is packaged in nitrogen-flushed bags to seal in freshness. We’re obsessed with the Dark Roast, Medium Roast, and Decaf Whole Bean also on offer.
Also available on Amazon, this angle-serve coffee comes in packets like tea and requires no machine to make, meaning it’s ideal for travel or people who don’t like fussing with (and cleaning!) a coffee machine.
To subscribe, you choose your favorite roast (Mild, Medium, Dark, French Roast, and Decaf), and then select how often you’d like to receive your coffee (delivery options range from every one to six weeks). The Organic French Roast (the “Breakwater Blend”) is our personal favorite, but experiment a bit and settle on your personal go-to.
Yes, we’re obsessed with this plant-based brand (which made the cut for our favorite vegan meal delivery services). From ice cream and smoothies to flatbreads and oat bowls, DH has it all. They’re also here to fulfill health enthusiasts’ latte fantasies. The coffee and almond lattes are heavenly, and Joe junkies will likely also swoon for their chaga (a type of mushroom) and chocolate lattes, matcha and lemongrass lattes, and ginger and turmeric lattes.
Enjoy 'em hot and cold and rejoice in knowing they're made with real, wholesome ingredients, sans fillers or added sugars. You can pause, skip, or cancel your Daily Harvest weekly deliveries at any time, but so long as you supercharge your mornings with these fine lattes, we doubt you’ll want to anytime soon.
