4 Best Coffee Clubs and Subscriptions

Welcome to our round-up of the Best Coffee Clubs! Coffee clubs are a great way to have gourmet, fresh coffee delivered to your door every month. If you have a particular favorite coffee that isn't normally available in stores (like Kona Coffee) or would like a way to sample a variety of different kinds of coffee, a coffee club is a convenient and cost effective way to do it. Coffee clubs have also been growing in popularity as great gift ideas! Each of the coffee clubs ranked below offer a special incentive to give coffee club memberships as a gift, including free coffee and customized gift cards you can create on their website.
A lot of people don't realize that big coffee brands like Starbucks and Peet's Coffee & Tea offer coffee clubs. They also usually offer discounts on their coffee as incentive for joining their club. It can be as short as 3 months up to more than a year! Coffee companies love having regular customers who appreciate their coffee and come back to it month after month.

1. Koa Coffee Club

Fans of Kona Coffee are some of the most devoted and loyal coffee drinkers in the world. Most discover kona coffee when they visit Hawaii on vacation, and as a result it developed a reputation as a 'honeymoon coffee'. But lately it has been shedding that reputation by winning several major coffee cupping competitions around the world. With Koa's coffee of the month club, you can choose what type of coffee you want to have delivered (may I suggest the Koa Peaberry Roast). There is a swiss water decaffeinated option as well. You can also order it whole bean or ground. What's great about this coffee of the month is that, instead of paying for it all up front, Koa Coffee bills you monthly. So if you want to cancel or change your order, you can. Types of Kona Coffee Available:
  • Kona Peaberry Roast
  • Private Reserve Kona Coffee
  • Estate Kona Coffee
  • Grande Domain Kona Coffee
  • Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee
Ways to Save: Kona coffee tends to be more expensive than other coffees, but with the Koa coffee club you save an average of 15% off the regular price. Also on your first shipment you get a free 8oz. package of coffee. Click here to visit Koa Coffee's Club Page:

More about Kona Coffee:

Kona coffee is one of those rare delicacies that has the most loyal and devoted fans. All kona coffee is grown in the Kona district on the Big Island of Hawaii. It has several unique characteristics that make it stand out from other coffee regions around the world.
  • Kona coffee trees (called "Kona Typica") grow on the slopes of a volcano, Mauna Loa. As a result all kona coffee is hand-picked, as machine pickers used in other coffee regions can't navigate the volcanic terrain.
  • There are about 790 small family farms that grow Kona Coffee on the big island. The tradition dates back to Japanese family farms and has since extended to European and Philipino families.


2. Starbucks Coffee Club

A little known service gives you Starbucks right at your door.

Starbucks has a subscription service where you can Starbucks deliver to your door. The strength of this subscription is the flexibility and customization. You can specify how much product to be delivered and also how often. And the best part is that it extends beyond just whole bean coffee. In addition to any flavor of whole bean coffee, you can also create a subscription for:
  • Starbucks K-cup Packs
  • All Tazo Teas
  • Verismo coffee pods
  • VIA Coffee Packs
  • Starbucks Syrups

3. Peet's Coffee & Tea Coffee Club

Recurring Delivery of Freshly-Roasted Coffee

Peet's Coffee has a reputation in California as a truly artisan coffee shop. The gourmet coffee is roasted on site every day. Devoted customers refer to themselves as "Peetniks". Peet's also has a wonderful coffee delivery service. You are able to choose from any of their whole bean coffees and choose how often the coffee is delivered. But here's the best part: all coffee is roasted and shipped on the same day. This means that, if you have 'overnight delivery' shipping, you will get fresh coffee the day after it's roasted. Yum! There is no cost to join the coffee club. Peet's even offers 40% off shipping as a thank you for joining their recurring delivery service. Here's a selection of coffees that Peet's has available for the coffee delivery service:

Rogers' coffee club, called the Java Perks Coffee Club, has the widest variety of coffees for you to try.They have gourmet coffees from most coffee regions, decaffeinated coffee beans, kosher coffee and K-cups. Flexibility: You can stipulate how frequent you want your coffee orders to ship, anywhere from every 2 weeks every 20 weeks. Once you set up a recurring shipment, you can log in to change the frequency of shipments or the type of coffee you'd like to be shipped. Ways to Save: You can also purchase "super-saver" coffee bags of 3-5 lbs. This saves you more money over time, since it's more economical to ship one 3 lbs bag every four weeks rather than one 1 lbs. coffee bag every two weeks.
