Origin Coffee Subscription vs Peet's Coffee Subscription

British buyers who want next-day despatch and a letterbox-sized bag

Scores higher on cancelling, skipping & getting out, freshness & roast dates, what actually arrives.

The cheapest coffee per kilo of any subscription here, priced honestly by the pound

Scores higher on cost per bag, and per kilo, choice & personalisation.

• +Next-day despatch on daily fresh roasts, which is the tightest published roast-to-post window in this batch.
• +Free delivery on every subscription order, with no bundle or minimum to earn it.
• +The bag is sized to fit through a letterbox, so a delivery does not need somebody at home.
• +A certified B Corp, with the sourcing commitments that certification requires, rather than a self-declared claim.
• +Ships to the UK, EU, US and worldwide, which is the widest reach in this batch.

• −Pausing, skipping and cancelling are done through their iOS and Android app, and no web equivalent is stated.
• −Priced in pounds. Our dollar figure is a converted estimate and is deliberately not scored, so the value criterion sits at the midpoint.
• −One roaster only, so there is no discovery of other roasters.
• −The free-delivery threshold is advertised at both £25 and £35 in different places on the site, which needs clarifying at the basket.
• −No money-back guarantee is stated.

• +$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.
