From drip coffee makers to French presses to pour-overs, there are numerous ways to make a quality cup of coffee. But avid coffee drinkers know that the beans are the most important, which is why subscription services that expertly curate artisanal and locally-sourced beans are so worth the money. Plus, in honor of National Coffee Day, a coffee subscription makes a thoughtful and personalized gift for anyone in your life looking to try out new blends every month. From Trade Coffee, which sources their beans from more than 450 roasting companies, to Seattle-based Bean Box, whose mixes are put together by their in-house curator, here are eight of the best coffee subscription services to check out this year. Trade Coffee is the best choice for those looking to support small businesses, one of the reasons it boasts more than 300,000 rave reviews on its website. From San Francisco’s Ritual Coffee to Boston’s George Horwell, there are more than 450 roasting companies to choose from. When signing up, you’re asked to complete a seven question quiz that they use to recommend three types of beans for your first delivery. Plus, if you aren’t happy with their selection you get replacement bag on the house.
