Misto vs Stumptown Coffee Club

Sixty independent American roasters matched to a taste profile, with free shipping

Scores higher on freshness & roast dates, choice & personalisation.

The widest choice of delivery intervals of any subscription here, from weekly to every eight weeks

Scores higher on cost per bag, and per kilo.

• +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.

• +Seven delivery intervals from every week to every eight weeks, which is by some distance the widest choice in this category.
• +Free shipping on every subscription order, with no bundle or minimum spend to earn it.
• +$58.82 a kilo on the 12oz bag, cheaper than Trade and level with Atlas.
• +Skip, change, pause and cancel are all offered at any time and stated on the sales page rather than buried in a help centre.
• +Rotating Roaster's Pick and Blend Shuffle options, or any blend or single origin kept on repeat, plus a coffee quiz for anyone unsure.

• −One roaster, so there is no discovery of anyone else's coffee.
• −No roast-to-despatch figure is published, only that coffee ships directly from the roastery.
• −The advertised prices are discounted against a struck-through list price, so check what the sixth delivery costs.
• −No money-back guarantee is stated.
• −The 5lb option is priced separately and not shown alongside the standard bag, so the bulk saving needs working out at the basket.
