Best coffee subscription
Discussion
Can’t find the search function, am sure this has been asked before.
I’ve tried a few different subs. Latest being the free(ish) offer from Tank that’s been marketed to me - not a huge fan tbh
People rave about Rave - is it worth it?
I’ve tried Origin, was Ok. Also 200 degrees was decent.
Prefer 250g bags so I can get one per fortnight, and South American beans
Drink mostly americanos plus the odd filter coffee
What have you got on sub and why?

I get 4 bags of Rave once a month, but I order it. I get the espresso lovers mix and a random bag to tip me into free delivery (make the 4th bag about £3, so I go wild)
It's great stuff and the mix set it fairly middle of the road, but they do do specials, so you can try new stuff.
They are just decent and reliable, recommended to a few people and they think the same.

Wogan Coffee from Bristol is good but I do try and use a guy called Kev Lewis who has a good youtube channel and has started his own subscription https://www.cworks.co.uk/

As it happens my monthly subscription from Wogan turned up today...................
It's just a single (500g bag) per month of their "monthly favourites" as it gives me something to try that maybe I wouldn't pick myself. I do use Rave and can recommend them as well - both companies freshly ground and prompt delivery.

Used these in the past for coffee. Very good stuff. I don't currently have a machine, that's the reason why I said 'in the past'

I’ve ended up finding myself on the rave coffee subscription and getting a 250g bag every couple of weeks.
I like their standard beans, I don’t like the beans that have hints of fruit like raspberry etc.
But at one bag every couple of weeks the postage cost adding 50% onto the cost doesn’t make sense to me.
I’m not keen on buying the bigger bags or multiple bags as the coffee may get stale.
Do people just take the postage cost on the chin, or are there better alternatives? I’d be happy to collect the beans but live nowhere near Cirencester!!

I order 4 bags at once, which gives free delivery. But I do go through a bag a week, so they don't sit around for long!I like their standard beans, I don t like the beans that have hints of fruit like raspberry etc.

I can recommend Cannon (https://www.cannoncoffee.co.uk/) coffee. No personal connection (a guy on SELOC runs it IIRC and offers a discount to members); I've just had a cup of their Gunpowder blend and it's excellent. Not badly priced, either.
Used to subscribe to Cast Iron (the place Caffeine & Machine get their coffee from), which are good, but Cannon is just as good (if not better, actually) and cheaper.

Currently on grind for 1kg of beans every three weeks (editions single origin version), generally good enough for my espresso fix with some great flavours at a reasonable price.
What you get delivered in wholebean is much fresher than anything sold in shops or pre-ground
Absolutely. The Origin beans are usually posted out within 2 weeks of roasting. Shop equivalent can be 2 or 3 months old.What you get delivered in wholebean is much fresher than anything sold in shops or pre-ground
I used to buy from deverroast for a while but they appear to be a small team and not really getting things out on time. ONce the bags turned up open and beans in the box - they did refund tbf but it all just appeared a bit sloppy
Now on to rounton which is free delivery for orders above £25. I like their daybreak for pour over filter. 1kg last about a month and there is a noticeable increase in flavour in the first week and then a slow decline the next three weeks but it's still better than anything I can easily access in my daily routine from a shop, not to mention significantly cheaper.
