The 8 Best Coffee Subscriptions of 2025, Tested by Coffee Lovers

If you're looking for the cheapest coffee club, Atlas is the most budget-friendly of the many we've tried. It might also be the most giftable of the coffee subscriptions because each delivery feels like something a friend would send you while traveling the world.

Atlas Coffee Club delivers single-origin craft coffee from more than 50 countries and draws from independent coffee roasters where amazing coffee is produced. Not only is the coffee high quality -- I got incredible roasts from Peru, Tanzania and Costa Rica -- but every coffee subscription box delivery comes with a postcard featuring its country of origin, as well as a message with tasting notes and brewing tips.

Atlas makes gifting easy with free US shipping and two subscription options -- every two or four weeks -- starting at just $6 for a half bag (with a first-time discount).

"Every pound saves a hound," is the slogan of Grounds and Hounds coffee company, which donates 20% of all profits to dog rescue organizations. With blends like Morning Walk, Paper & Slippers and even a decaf roast called Hush Puppy, this is the perfect subscription for dog lovers. 

The coffee I had when I tried Ground and Hounds was fresh, smooth and mild but perhaps a little less exciting than some of the other clubs. It's a great subscription to please a wide range of coffee drinkers, with nothing that'll scare away a person with a less adventurous palate. You also won't find as many niche roasters with this service but what it does send is high quality and consistently good.

You can join the Grounds and Hounds Coffee Club with a subscription requiring at least two bags (around $28 minimum). It's the ideal way to keep a steady supply of coffee at the ready for those post-walk mornings in front of the fireplace with your best buddy snoozing at your feet.

Bean Box highlights renowned Seattle roasters. You choose either ground or whole bean coffee, then your taste preferences are followed by a choice of one bag or two per shipment, which will come every two or four weeks. Plans start at a very affordable $17 for pay-per-delivery or $485 for an annual plan. 

If you're looking for gift ideas, there are three subscription options. The Curator's Coffee of the Month Club, Coffee Around the World Subscription and US Coffee Road Trip subscription. The Curator's Coffee of the Month Club has options for three months, six months or annual starting at $72, World Coffee Tour and US Coffee Road Trip both have four, eight and 12-month subscriptions. The first starts at $120 and the latter at $98.

This NYC-based roaster sends some of the best organic, fair-trade coffee from various regions around the world to you in signature bright purple packaging. Many of the service's producers are female-owned and you can use a filter to narrow your search to include only those. In a trial run of Bean & Bean, I got some of the most interesting coffees of any club on the list. I tried the organic Peru Las Damas (chocolate lemon and orange notes) and a female-owned Santa Felisha Purple Gesha honey coffee (currently out of stock) from Guatemala and both were fresh-tasting, complex and flavorful.

This is one of the pricier services and breaks down to about $24 a bag (inclusive of shipping). Considering it's mostly organic and fair-trade coffee that supports female-owned businesses and the coffee is all roasted and ground to order, I think it's worth the extra few bucks a month.

This is one of the smartest coffee subscriptions I tried. Trade has taste algorithms down to a science and just about every coffee I had delivered was right in my flavor wheelhouse. As far as types of coffee subscription options go, you can select your style of coffee and pay per shipment for $16 or prepay for 3 or 6 bags.

With a slick website and fun marketing copy, this is the cool kid coffee club to be certain. The good news is that Trade has some great beans, too. If you love traveling around the US and always check out the local coffee scene when you do, a Trade coffee subscription box is a good one for you. They have all the best coffee roasters from across the country, like Gimme! from the East Coast, Sightglass from the West Coast, Intelligentsia from the Third Coast and even more artisan coffee roasters. 

Some subscriptions had some misses together with the hits but I tried Equator Coffee for a few months and there wasn't a bad bean in the bunch. Yes, taste is subjective but for me, this was the most consistent coffee subscription service, sending fresh, flavorful and interesting whole beans from places like Ethiopia and Colombia. 

Curated blend subscriptions start at $19 and will net you one 12-ounce bag of coffee per month (free shipping). The cheapest bags of subscription coffee start at $10 a month (for espresso pods -- shipping not included). If you don't want to commit to a subscription, Equator has an entire shop of fabulous coffee available for a one-time send. Shipping is free on orders of more than $45.

Some folks can be particular about their coffee beans and Mistobox understands that. Celebrates it, even. 

This is another coffee club we tried and it really does feel like a club. When you join this slick coffee subscription club, it'll take you through a tasting quiz to hone in on exactly what types of coffee you like. You'll answer questions about the preferred roast level and intensity, blends versus single-origin and more. MistoBox even wants to know how you take your coffee -- black, with cream or espresso-style. From there it'll pull from a roster of more than 60 roasters and get the best beans in your hands monthly. The service will then use an algorithm based on what you liked and didn't like to keep the coffee you do like rolling in.

With shipping ($5 per order) a 12-ounce bag of beans will start at $15 a bag but you can save a little by paying upfront for a longer subscription. I tried this subscription and found it had one of the most impressive rosters of producers including cult favorites such as Methodical, Bixby Brothers and Ritual.

Fellow's coffee subscription scores points for combining high-quality coffee beans with a simple, no-fuss ordering and delivery system. The whole beans I received in my month-long trial of Fellow were excellent and interesting and included a dreamy Agaro Ethiopian roast with notes of peach and bergamot. 

This coffee subscription service has a new and unique text-to-order system. First, you'll sign up for Fellow's program and provide your mobile number. Each week the expert panel selects a new coffee and texts you the pick. It's then up to you to decide if you want to order a bag or two. Prices vary from week to week.
