How Much Does A Coffee Subscription Cost?
Although I’m obviously a little biased, coffee subscriptions are the future.
It’s not like you can pick specialty coffee up from the supermarket. And to have a couple of new coffees delivered every couple of weeks is a game changer.
However, if you want to enjoy the best coffee in the UK you may have to part with a few more pennies compared to that jar of Gold Blend.
But how much do coffee subscriptions cost?
Well, obviously there is not one set price for a coffee subscription as they come in all shapes and sizes.
However you can expect to pay between £8 - £12 per bag of coffee.
Or depending on the type of coffee subscription between £8 - £25 per box of coffee (as some coffee subscriptions have more than one bag per box).

It is sometimes hard to put a price on how much a coffee subscription costs as there is pretty much always a range of prices depending on the quality of coffee, type of coffee and the amount of coffee you purchase in a package.
Do coffee subscriptions save money?
Yes. The majority of the time coffee subscriptions save you money.
Take a look at Batch coffee subscription:
It would be more expensive if you were to purchase each of the two bags of coffee online that you receive in your coffee club box directly from the coffee roasters.
Aside from coffee subscriptions saving you money though, they also save you time.
This is especially true with Batch coffee club as the coffees that we showcase are some of the best coffee we have in the UK and the time it would take to research and purchase a different coffee each week would certainly be time consuming.
Is a coffee club worth it?
I think you may have guessed our answer.
Yes, a coffee club is definitely worth it.
If you fall in the rather large bracket of loving specialty coffee and trying new origins and roasters but not having the time to spend finding new coffee businesses, then a coffee subscription could be right up your street.
What are the disadvantages of coffee subscriptions?
If you opt for a coffee subscription where you receive the same coffee in every box then one of the disadvantages could be that you don’t get to try the host of incredible seasonal single origin coffees out there.
You may also be the sort of person that enjoys going to new coffee roasters and buying coffee beans directly from them, in this case a coffee subscription may not fit your needs.
Why should I get a coffee subscription?
If you are short of time and enjoy drinking freshly roasted delicious specialty coffee that has been curated for you, then a coffee subscription could be exactly what you need.
Specialty coffee isn’t really something that you can just pick up in your regular commercial grocery shop so if you’re not lucky enough to live close to a coffee roaster or a (typically independent) grocery shop that stocks specialty products such as coffee.
Is coffee an expensive hobby?
Well, the answer to whether coffee is an expensive hobby depends on various factors, including personal preferences, location, and lifestyle.
If you enjoy a simple cup of instant coffee at home, it can be a relatively inexpensive hobby.
However, if you are someone who loves to try new single origins, roast profiles, and coffee processing methods, the cost can add up.
Specialty coffee beans can be expensive and if you are into collecting expensive coffee paraphernalia like espresso machines or burr grinders.
Similarly, the cost of coffee can vary depending on where you live. In some cities, a cup of specialty coffee can cost upwards of £5, while in other places, it may be much cheaper.
Your lifestyle also plays a role in determining the expense of your coffee hobby.
If you frequently visit cafes and coffee shops, the cost can add up quickly, but if you prefer to make your coffee at home, you can control the cost especially if you sign up for a coffee club.
Overall, coffee can be an affordable or expensive hobby depending on personal preferences and lifestyle.
