The coffee subscription thread

    On the hunt for a new subscription. I usually go for 6 month subs, so here's the current lay of the land for those:

    Red Strand Coffee: €170 (great for the coffee lover with patience)

    Stone Valley: €40 per month so €240

    Ground State: €210

    Groundwork Celbridge: €210 (or just €35 delivered for 1kg of some of their beans without sub as recommended above)

    West Cork: €210

    Bell Lane: €202.50

    Cloudpicker: don't seem to do a sub with variation for blends, only the same blend for x months.

    Bear Market: don't seem to do a sub with variation for blends, only the same blend for x months.

    I'm leaning towards Ground State and Groundworks. May order a kg of groundworks and see before deciding since now difference in price anyway.

    ^ "Red Strand Coffee: €170 (great for the coffee lover with patience)"

    Sorry but what does this mean exactly? Are they slow shipping?

    Bear market do a rotating roasters choice with different bean each month (espresso &filter options) - 40 per month cancel anytime - 20 euro for the 500g option

    Groundwork sub is 30 euro per month - so 180 for 6 months

    Ah it's all above in the thread there - a few of us are just coming out of a subscription with them. Lovely coffee, but completely unpredictable delivery dates. Sometime a week late, other times a month late. I'd absolutely be signing up for another 6 months if they could sort their deliveries out so they arrived in the 1st week of the month even, but I probably spent more time wondering where it was and chasing for an update than anything.

    Ah I couldn't see it, and still can't actually when I go back and check it now. They have a step by step subscription picker thing that only seems to give these 3 options:

    Maybe I'm missing it somewhere? As a sidenote, I'm not gone on these step by step things to help you along. I know they're trying to be helpful, but I find them a bit annoying. Cloudpicker do one too I think.

    Ah sorry Bawn - the rotating option is only available for filter, not espresso! My mistake as I only get filter single origins. I agree - hate those plan things without the info up front :(

    Ya it's a shame - I'd have no interest in the same coffee every month unfortunately. You mentioned above Groundwork was 30 per month - are you seeing that somewhere? I can only see €35 per month on the site unless you can collect yourself maybe.

    Still seeing 35 here (including shipping) - just want to make sure I'm not missing something if it's there for cheaper than I can see it 🙂

    Hmm I have never been charged shipping for my sub - maybe it is new, sorry!
