Pros and cons

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

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.

Stumptown Coffee Club
  • +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.
