Pros and cons

From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.

Atlas Coffee Club
  • +A 30-day money-back guarantee, which is a refund rather than the replacement most of this market offers.
  • +The entire plan builder, including the price, is shown before you create an account or hand over an email address.
  • +Every coffee is a single origin from a named country, sent with a postcard and tasting notes for that origin.
  • +$58.82 a kilo on the 12oz bag, which is materially cheaper than Trade's $70.94.
  • +Grind is offered for drip, French press, pour over, espresso, AeroPress and cold brew, plus whole bean, and decaf is available.
  • −Atlas roasts everything itself, so you are choosing between origins rather than between roasters.
  • −The United States and Canada only.
  • −The 'Bright and Expressive' flavour profile costs $2 a bag more than the standard one.
  • −Frequency is limited to every two weeks or every four, with no longer interval offered.
  • −The advertised price is a sale price against a struck-through list price, so what you pay after the first bag needs checking.

Misto
  • +Free shipping on every plan, with no prepaid bundle required to earn it.
  • +Sixty roasters and 600+ coffees, and unusually for this market, both numbers are published rather than implied.
  • +Reschedule parks the next shipment up to 90 days out and keeps your queue exactly as it was, which is a pause without the word.
  • +Roast level, grind, frequency, flavour profile and a maximum price per bag are all adjustable from the dashboard.
  • +Cancelling is two clicks under Settings, and any prepaid credit already on the balance stays usable afterwards.
  • −No bag weight is published, so the price per kilo cannot be calculated before ordering and we have not scored it.
  • −Individual coffee prices vary by roaster, and a coffee priced above your chosen maximum simply stops being offered to you.
  • −The prepaid balance renews automatically once it can no longer cover a shipment, which is a charge you have to opt out of rather than into.
  • −Where Misto ships is not stated on the pages we read.
  • −There is no money-back guarantee stated, only the ability to leave.
