About Coffee Subscriptions

What is a coffee subscription, and how does it work?

A coffee subscription is your passport to better mornings — freshly roasted coffee, delivered on your schedule. With Bean Box, you choose how often you’d like deliveries (every 2–4 weeks), your roast preferences, how many bags you want per delivery and whether you’d like whole bean or ground coffee. Bean Box's team of experts curates your coffee from the country’s top artisan roasters, ensuring every shipment is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly matched to your taste.

Who are coffee subscriptions best suited for?

Anyone who loves great coffee and convenience! Whether you’re a curious beginner, a home barista, or just want to stop running out of beans, a Bean Box subscription keeps your cup full and your mornings inspired.

How much does a coffee subscription typically cost?

Bean Box's coffee subscriptions start around $16–$20 per bag, depending on your plan and frequency. Every coffee Bean Box sends is roasted-to-order by award-winning roasters, so you’re getting premium small-batch coffee that’s often fresher and higher quality than what you’ll find on store shelves.

Are coffee subscriptions worth it compared to buying locally?

Absolutely — especially if freshness, quality, and variety matter to you. Each Bean Box coffee is roasted just before it ships, so it arrives at peak flavor. Plus, you’ll discover beans and roasters you might never find locally, all curated by coffee experts who taste hundreds of coffees each month.

Do coffee subscriptions offer discounts or rewards?

Yes! Subscribers save up to 15% on all individual coffee purchases in addition to getting free shipping on 2+ coffees from any roaster. Bean Box also runs exclusive promotions, early access drops, and seasonal gifts for Bean Box's members. It’s Bean Box's way of saying thanks for sharing your coffee journey with us.

Are the coffees freshly roasted before shipping?

Always. Each batch is roasted to order by Bean Box's roasting partners and shipped within days. You’ll see the roast date right on the bag — Bean Box believes freshness is the secret to the perfect cup.

Where do the subscription coffees come from?

Bean Box works with more than 60 top independent roasters across the U.S., from Seattle to Brooklyn. These roasters source beans from the world’s best-growing regions — Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, and beyond — ensuring every cup tells a story of origin, craft, and care.

Does Bean Box support sustainable sourcing?

Yes. Bean Box is proud to partner with roasters who are committed to ethical, sustainable sourcing — including direct trade and fair compensation for farmers. Many of Bean Box's coffees are organic, Rainforest Alliance, or Fair Trade certified.

Can I personalize my subscription?

Definitely. You can choose your roast level (espresso light, medium, dark, decaf or all), your delivery frequency, and whether you prefer whole bean or ground coffee. Bean Box's system also learns your taste over time, refining your matches with each review.

Can I skip, pause, or change my deliveries?

Yes — total flexibility. You can skip an order, pause your subscription, or change your roast preferences anytime through your account dashboard. Bean Box makes it easy to fit coffee around your life, not the other way around.

How does Bean Box ship its coffee?

Bean Box roasts and ship within the same week to ensure every bag arrives fresh. Shipping is free on most plans, and Bean Box currently ships throughout the U.S. All coffee is packed in airtight bags designed to preserve aroma and flavor.

What happens if I don’t like a coffee?

Bean Box will make it right. Bean Box's Coffee Match Guarantee ensures you’ll always love what’s in your mug — if a coffee doesn’t hit the mark, Bean Box will replace it or credit your account with another option that better fits your taste.

Can I send a Bean Box subscription as a gift?

Yes! Gift subscriptions are one of Bean Box's most popular options. You can send a personalized digital gift card or have the subscription start right away. Bean Box will even include a note so your recipient knows who to thank for their morning joy.

How do different coffee subscriptions compare?

Bean Box Curator’s Choice: Balanced, expertly curated, personalized and ever-changing — best for those who love discovery.
Single Roaster Subscriptions: Consistent taste from a favorite roaster, great if you’ve already found “your” coffee.
Coffee Clubs: Often focus on variety, but may not guarantee freshness or expert curation.
With Bean Box, you’re getting all three: freshness, variety, and personalized curation — with every box backed by our expert tasting team.

Which coffee subscription is best for beginners?

Bean Box’s Curator’s Choice Subscription is perfect for newcomers. You’ll receive a different coffee each month, from different roasters and origins, with tasting notes and brewing tips. It’s a fun, low-commitment way to discover your preferences and expand your palate.

What’s the best subscription for espresso lovers?

For espresso drinkers, Bean Box recommends choosing Bean Box's espresso preference in your Bean Box plan. Bean Box will send coffees that hold up beautifully under pressure — smooth, chocolatey, and full-bodied — ideal for espresso and milk-based drinks.

What’s the difference between curated vs. direct-roaster subscriptions?

A direct-roaster subscription gives you coffee from one brand only — great if you’ve found a favorite. A curated subscription (like Bean Box) brings together coffees from multiple top roasters, all selected and tasted by experts. It’s like having a personal coffee concierge — you get variety, quality, and freshness, all in one.
