Pros and cons

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

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.

Peet's Coffee Subscription
  • +$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.
