Atlas Coffee Club
coffee subscription
Atlas is a unique offering that makes a great coffee gift. Atlas is an importer and roaster that sources its beans from a different country each month, whether it’s a rarely found Ugandan coffee that tastes like a cashew-dappled fudge bar or the familiar excitement of a fruity-chocolatey Colombian.
Subscribe during December, and your membership comes with a free bag of coffee. Get a six-month gift subscription for your favorite aunt, and it’s almost 20 percent off — plus free shipping. Use discount code ATLASHOLIDAYS if code is not automatically applied.
Sign up for the quarterly gift option, and every three months your recipient receives three bags from three different countries at a time. It’s a beautiful little mystery box of coffee flavors. Simply choose whether you want whole beans or ground and select the style and roast level of coffee, all according to your recipient’s preferences. Note that if you’re coming to this perfect coffee subscription gift idea at the last minute, you can set up the gift subscription for “email delivery” with a short gift note and a promise of coffee soon.
Trade Coffee Holiday Deals
Of the coffee subscriptions we’ve tested, Trade Coffee is our favorite with a curated selection of excellent craft roasters with the largest number of small preferences for the finicky coffee lover in your life (which may actually be you). Right now for the holiday season, gift subscriptions are 25 percent off. But perhaps the best deal is on the Basic subscription, which is 50 percent off for the first month if you click the little “50% off” widget and enter your email.
