As clichéd as it is to admit, the day really doesn’t start before coffee. Who among us hasn’t felt the vexation of realizing that you’ve run out of your favorite roast and have no choice but to venture out for your fix? (Hollywood caffeine connoisseurs like Brad Pitt, Cole Hauser, Emma Chamberlain and the Weeknd might agree.)

Luckily, coffee subscriptions exist to make sure you’re always well-stocked. From subscriptions that truly turn coffee into a hobby to coffee subscription gifts and simple boxes that deliver premium coffee at an affordable price, these are the best coffee subscriptions of 2023 that have caught our eye.

Several of them use quizzes — similar to those you’ll know if you’re a subscriber to wine clubs like Winc or Firstleaf — to dial in your java preferences. Everyone’s got their own approach to coffee, and you deserve the good stuff whether you labor over it with special equipment each morning or pop a K-cup in the machine and call it a day. By the way, these coffee subscriptions don’t limit you to bags of whole beans or ground coffee. We’ve also included subscriptions for cold brew coffee concentrates, biodegradable coffee pods, tea and more.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for a present for your coffee-loving friend, these are the best coffee subscriptions to shop now.

BEST COFFEE SUBSCRIPTION OVERALL

When you buy a Driftaway subscription ($14 and up), the first thing you’ll receive is the brand’s Coffee Explorer Kit, which features five coffees from around the world. Information about the coffee, like the origins and flavor notes, isn’t printed on the bags because the intention is to have customers sample the coffee without any preconceived notions. After you try them — either by yourself or with Driftaway’s weekly Zoom tasting — you can open the included postcards with all the information about the coffee and learn more about where they come from. From there, you can set your subscription preferences and rate the coffees you’ve tried, which helps Driftaway dial in your preferences. And each month, they release new coffees so you’ll always have the chance to enjoy something new.

Boxes start at $14 per shipment and can be delivered every week, every two weeks or every four weeks. If you’re a beginner who doesn’t quite know your coffee tastes yet, this subscription is helpful for discovering your preferences. But experts who love discovering new blends and appreciate tasting each and every subtle note will also be delighted by what’s in this box. (If you’ve already tried their coffee or you definitely know what you like, you can skip the Coffee Explorer Kit and jump straight to a subscription).

BEST, MOST CONSISTENT FLAVOR

We’re fans of Bay area-born Blue Bottle for its wide range of light, medium and dark roasts that are delivered consistently with the same, delicious flavor that tastes like it’s fresh out of the roastery. Whether you’re into bold flavors with notes of berry and citrus, or you prefer hints of chocolate and marshmallow, there’s something for everyone to choose from in their offerings of single-origin coffee, blends, cold brew assortments, espresso and instant coffee in your choice of light, medium or dark roasts. (The brand just released an instant version of its Samra Origins collab with The Weeknd featuring “jammy fruit flavors and complex sweetness.”)

Choose from six-ounce half bags ($13 and up) or 12-ounce full bags ($21 and up), or instant coffee for $25 per delivery. Decaf is also available.

BEST SINGLE-ORIGIN COFFEE SUBSCRIPTION

Atlas Coffee Club’s subscription is basically the equivalent of your globetrotting friend discovering and sharing coffees from every corner of the world. Each month, subscribers receive coffee from a different country, a postcard that tells the story of the coffee, tasting notes and brewing tips. It’s a fun gift for any coffee lover, and it’s easy to customize. Choose from ground coffee, whole beans or even Keurig-compatible coffee cups. If you choose ground or whole-bean coffee, you’ll have the option of choosing your grind type and receiving your shipment every two or four weeks. Choose between a half-bag ($9) a single bag ($14) or two bags ($28). If you go the K-cup route, shipments will be between $29 and $49.

BEST VARIETY OF COFFEE ROASTS

If you believe variety is the spice of life, you’ll want to consider Trade Coffee. Rather than send you bags from one brand or roaster, you’ll get to try a ton of different ethically-sourced ones. The brand boasts over 450 unique roasts for customers to try. You’ll start with a short coffee quiz to find blends that Trade Coffee thinks you’ll like from coffee makers across the country. As you rate and review different ones, the algorithm suggests coffees tailored to your preferences. You can even specify the grind setting, which is helpful if you prefer to use your own Burr grinder or want your bag to arrive pre-ground for French press, Chemex, pour-over, AerPress, espresso or cold brew, to name a few. Subscriptions start at about $16 per bag, and you’ll get a free bag when you sign up.

That said, each shipment does come with information and fun facts about the coffee you’re drinking if you want to know more about it. You’ll get an 8.8-ounce bag for $17 or a 12-ounce bag for $23, with delivery options starting at once a month and increasing from there.

MOST POPULAR COFFEE SUBSCRIPTION

Most coffee drinkers are at least passingly familiar with Portland-based Stumptown Coffee Roasters. The cult-favorite brand offers three subscriptions: the Roaster’s Pick, which highlights the freshest, in-season single-origin coffees; the Blend Shuffle, which sends customers a rotation of the seven most popular Stumptown blends; and the Blend on Repeat, which ensures subscribers always have a bag of their favorite blend on hand. Subscriptions start at $16 per shipment and can be sent every one to four weeks.

MOST AFFORDABLE COFFEE SUBSCRIPTION

With subscriptions starting at $8 per 12-ounce bag, Craft Coffee is definitely one of the most affordable coffee subscriptions on the market. You can choose your blends based on the coffees you already enjoy from major brands. For instance, I entered a Lavazza coffee I’ve been enjoying lately and Craft Coffee recommended a blend that’s “bright and sweet with notes of milk chocolate, nuts, and hints of fruit,” but also provided recommendations for both a lighter and darker blend that I might enjoy. They also provide recommendations for a slightly more expensive ($11 per bag) coffee along with single-origin and decaf choices. This coffee subscription is ideal if you’re looking to upgrade from your grocery-store coffee but aren’t sure exactly where to start. You can also give a subscription as a gift.
