Pros and cons
From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.
- +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.
- +$43.98 a kilo on the Signature Blend Series, which is the cheapest coffee per kilo in this comparison by a wide margin.
- +Priced by the pound on the page, so the per-kilo figure is published rather than derived from an assumed bag size.
- +Free shipping on every subscription, with no bundle or spend threshold.
- +Eight curated series including single origin, cold brew and a dedicated decaf series, or build your own from individual coffees.
- +Reschedule or cancel at any time, and grind, quantity and frequency are all chosen at signup.
- −No roasted-to-order claim is made, unlike Trade, Misto, Intelligentsia and Origin.
- −No specialty-grade claim on the subscriptions page, and no direct trade or certification statement.
- −One roaster, so there is no discovery beyond Peet's own range.
- −No money-back guarantee is stated.
- −The 30% new-subscriber discount makes the first orders much cheaper than the ongoing price, which is the number to plan around.
