“A Subscription of Well-Above-Average Joe
The beans-by-mail subscription from Driftaway Coffee takes a remarkably pragmatic approach to pleasing a giftee. The first item to arrive: a kit of four coffees to sample and rate so experts at Driftaway can learn a recipient’s preferences. “Coffee is subjective, so our tasting kit covers profiles ranging in roasts and origins,” said co-founder Anu Menon. A three-month subscription includes an 8-ounce tasting kit and two deliveries of 7-ounce packages that the coffee snob on your list will actually enjoy. From $44″
“No one can turn down the gift of food. You can customize this coffee subscription according to the amount of coffee, the delivery frequency, and the subscription duration.”
“Every subscription to Driftaway starts off with a sampler kit that helps determine future shipments based on your preferences, so this is a no-brainer for the extra-picky coffee lover. Plus, each bag comes personalized with your recipient’s name, so it’s an extra personal gift.

“With the goal of carbon-free coffee by 2022, Driftaway Coffee is hyper-focused on sustainability. They minimize energy use through their green sourcing, roasting, and shipping methods, and they offset their remaining carbon footprint through contributions toward an organization that fights deforestation. Not only that, but their packaging is compostable. So much green!
Given that, a gift subscription is a wonderful present for an eco-aware java-holic, and a tasting kit subscription delivers an extra element of variety and fun. As an example, a three-month tasting kit subscription will cost $75, delivering four mini (4-ounce) bags of whole bean coffee each month for the recipient to brew and sample.”
