Best Coffee Subscriptions With Free Shipping

Shipping is the cost that quietly decides whether a coffee subscription is good value. A flat fee on every box can add more than the coffee's own price difference over a year, so a subscription that ships free on every order often beats a cheaper bag that does not. Every service on this page says shipping is included on its subscription, but how far that promise goes is worth reading closely.

Which coffee subscriptions have free shipping?

Atlas, Blue Bottle, Intelligentsia, Stumptown, Volcanica, Peet's, Origin, Misto and Black Rifle all say their subscriptions ship free, in most cases on every order. By contrast, Bean Box charges a separate flat rate on subscription deliveries that it does not publish, Podium adds a flat $5 to every order, and Trade ships free only on prepaid or 2 lb plans. Those three are on our other subscription lists but not this one.

Free shipping on a subscription does not always extend to everything in the account. One-off add-ons, gift orders and shipments outside the continental US can carry their own charges, and a few services ship free only above a minimum order. If you live in Alaska, Hawaii or outside the US, read the shipping page before you subscribe.

Free shipping coffee subscriptions by bag size

Bag size	Subscriptions	Suits
227 g (8 oz)	Volcanica	One light drinker, or a rotating plan where each origin should be finished fast.
250 g	Origin	One daily drinker on a two-week schedule.
340 g (12 oz)	Atlas, Blue Bottle, Intelligentsia, Stumptown, Black Rifle	The standard US bag: about two weeks for one person at two cups a day.
454 g (1 lb)	Peet's	Two coffee drinkers, or anyone who wants fewer deliveries.

Misto does not publish a single bag size. Work out how much you need with our coffee per month guide.

Free shipping coffee subscriptions by delivery schedule

Free shipping makes a frequent schedule affordable, which is good for freshness: smaller bags more often beat a big bag going stale. Stumptown offers seven intervals from one to eight weeks, Black Rifle every 14, 21, 30 or 60 days, Atlas every two or four weeks, and Volcanica a monthly box delivered on your schedule. Blue Bottle, Intelligentsia, Peet's and Misto let you set and change the schedule from your account. Pick the interval that finishes each bag in two to three weeks; if you find yourself with an unopened bag when the next one arrives, move the schedule out rather than let coffee pile up.

Grind options on free shipping coffee subscriptions

Almost every subscription here ships whole bean or ground to order. Atlas lists six grind options, from French press to espresso, Origin offers whole bean, filter or AeroPress grinds, and Black Rifle adds K-Cups to whole bean and ground. Whole bean keeps its flavor longest, so choose it if you own a grinder; otherwise pick the grind for the brewer you use every day. Our guide to whole bean or ground subscriptions explains the trade-off.

First order offers on free shipping coffee subscriptions

Many subscriptions discount the first bag or box. It is a fair way to try a service, but judge it on the regular price, since that is what you pay from the second delivery on. Set a reminder to check you still like the coffee before the full-price orders start. Our guide to coffee subscription free trials covers what to look for in the terms.

Is a coffee subscription with free shipping worth it?

If you drink coffee every day, yes: included shipping is the difference between a subscription that costs about the same as the supermarket and one that costs noticeably more. Every service here also says you can pause or cancel online. Compare every service we rate, with or without free shipping, on the coffee subscriptions page.
