The Best Coffee Subscriptions to Fuel Them Up

There are a lot of great coffee subscription options out there, but Partners edges out the rest. We love that this New York-based brand offers both gift subscription and an ongoing coffee subscription, which means your giftee can keep their favorite flavor coming, or you can even score some for yourself. Carefully sourced coffee beans are roasted in Brooklyn with this stellar coffee subscription program that allows the subscriber to choose from 13 coffee selections in a range of quantities and grinds (whole bean, drip, and cold brew, to name a few).

For us, Partners provided two delectable whole bean selections, Manhattan and Elevate. The former offered rich hints of choclate and caramel, while the latter carried a crisp autumnal taste of red apple and pecan pie.

Other offered flavors include the Jumpstart (with notes of caramel and poached pear), Ghost Town (a decaf blend with hints of white chocolate), and a rotating Roaster's Choice. With the right amount of variety to always ensure quality, Partners makes for a great coffee subscription option, starting at $16.

So maybe you're not the most knowledgeable about coffee. Maybe you feel a bit intimidated selecting blends you think your giftee would like best. In that case, you can count on Bean Box's Curator's Choice to handle the selection, with seasonally-minded offerings tailored to taste.

We put our morning brew selections in the hands of BeanBox's curators and were provided with two very different, and very delicious blends, Colombia La Piramide from Tandem Coffee Roasters in Portland, Maine and Theo Blend from Cafe Vite in Seattle, Washington

The bags’ labels provide info on the source company, their locale, and when and how they were roasted, as well as a lovingly crafted description of what flavor hints to expect. Plus, if you really love the flavor, there's a link and QR code to help you order more.

Still, you really can’t go wrong with this top-notch coffee platform which offers monthly ($24), biweekly ($22), and weekly ($20) subscription plans. World Coffee Tour, Coffee + Chocolate Tasting Box, and Bean Box Coffee Sampler all make for quality gift subscriptions too.

The newest coffee subscription service on the block is hoping to shake up the java space by offering premium selections of both single-origin and blend coffees.

But the most intriguing aspect of Zend's offerings are their three wellness-oriented functional blends, which are designed to be mixed in with any of their offered grounds. Their Recovery blend (great for the morning after a long night) is made up of turmeric root extract, cinnamon bark powder, ginger root extract, and black pepper powder, while their Serenity blend which encourages stress relief contains L-theanine and rhodiola rosea. There's also a Beauty functional blend aimed at hair, skin, and nail health which features biotin and vitamin C.

These functional blends can be mixed with any of their offered coffee grounds, and can even offer a bit of extra flavoring without ever overpowering the core coffee flavors they're mixed with. Subscriptions start at just $27.

Are they unsure of their particular tastes? The Trade team will work hard to help identify what they look for in a cup of coffee, and expose them to new styles as well, with a one-bag subscription starting at $15.75 plus shipping.

Are they a fan of instant coffee? Waka Coffee’s instant coffee is made from 100% arabica beans and is freeze-dried to ensure the flavor is locked into every sip.

If they're the adventurous type, and you’re looking for the most java options, go for Caribbrew (you can also check them out on Amazon here). Flexibility is the name of the game here, with K-cups, ground, or whole beans available, starting at 1 pound for $20.

The socially conscious, minority-owned company partners with more than 4,000 small-scale coffee growers in Haiti, so they'll know that each cup they enjoy is also making an impact in impoverished communities. The organically grown, roasted-to-order coffee is absolutely delectable, to boot.

For health-focused and eco-conscious coffee sippers, take comfort in knowing that each batch of Kion Clean Coffee is sourced from 100% organic arabica beans that are grown and harvested on sustainable, fair-trade coffee cooperatives.

The company also regularly tests its coffee for icky substances like mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides. Bonus: The coffee is packaged in nitrogen-flushed bags to seal in freshness.

We’re obsessed with the Dark Roast and Decaf Whole Bean also on offer. Score a single bag subscription for $24, or three for $73.

This single-serve coffee comes in packets like tea and requires no machine to make, meaning it’s ideal for travel or people who don’t like fussing with (and cleaning!) a coffee machine.

Soon they'll have the perfect stress-free brew for their morning commute or their next vacation, for just $14.20 a shipment.

Shopping for somebody committed to the vegan lifestyle? Or very particular about what ingredients go into their morning brew? Daily Harvest has their hookup.

We’re obsessed with this plant-based brand (which made the cut for our favorite vegan meal delivery services). From ice cream and smoothies to flatbreads and oat bowls, DH has it all. They’re also here to fulfill health enthusiasts’ latte fantasies. The coffee and almond lattes are heavenly, and java junkies will likely also swoon for their chaga (a type of mushroom) and chocolate lattes, matcha and lemongrass lattes, and ginger and turmeric lattes.

Your health-focused friend can enjoy 'em hot and cold and rejoice in knowing they're made with real, wholesome ingredients, sans fillers or added sugars. They can pause, skip, or cancel their Daily Harvest weekly deliveries at any time, but if they supercharge their mornings with these fine lattes starting at just $5.99 per two cups, we doubt they’ll want to anytime soon.
