Bean Box is a coffee delivery company for the adventurous java enthusiast. The box comes with freshly roasted coffee beans in a variety of flavors from top sellers. This subscription allows people to save money on gourmet coffee because the company buys in bulk. Your first box ships the Wednesday after your purchase and you will receive a box one Wednesday per month after that.
This subscription box for coffee lovers comes with three different payment options for the Bean Box Sampler plan:
Duration | Price |
|---|---|
Month-to-month | $18 / month |
6-month prepay | $19 / month |
1-year prepay | $21 / month |
This pricing includes shipping to the United States, including territories and military bases. This company also ships to Canada, but additional fees apply.
This company works with 21 of the best coffee roasters in Seattle to find great beans to put in each box. These roasters are all committed to fair trade practices from the farm to the mug. Each batch is perfectly roasted to bring out rich flavors.
The coffee in this box contains no additives, flavors, or harmful chemicals. As for allergens, there’s only one ingredient: great coffee beans. However, you may get a little surprise chocolate or candy from time to time in the box.
If you’re a real coffee connoisseur, you know that it matters who roasts the beans. Huge companies just don’t have the time to dedicate to ensuring quality in every bean. That’s why this subscription company only works with small, independent roasters.
Some of these roasters have been in the business for years. Others are just starting out, but they all have in thing in common: a dedication to quality. Bean Box thoroughly vets all partners to be sure they care as much about what goes into your cup as you do.
The sampler box includes four 1.8oz bags of whole bean coffee each month. This amount makes about 16 cups of coffee. However, exact results vary based on brewing methods and the strength of the coffee.
You can choose between light, medium, dark, espresso, and decaf roasting options. These fresh beans come from some of Seattle’s top roasters. If you love one of your sampler bags, you can purchase the full-sized version on the company’s website.
In addition to a sampler box, this business offers a Coffee of the Month subscription. This option allows you to receive a different full 12oz bag of coffee each month. You can even choose to receive a full bag each week.
| Frequency | Price |
|---|---|---|
Option 1 | 1 bag per month | $23 / month |
Option 2 | 1 bag every 2 weeks | $41 / month |
Option 3 | 1 bag per week | $78 / month |
This company also offers gift options for all kinds of occasions. Send one to a corporate partner to celebrate an accomplishment, to your dad on Father’s Day, or the coffee lover in your life for Christmas.
They also have gift boxes filled with coffee and chocolate pairings, coffee preparation tools, and more. It’s the perfect way to let a java junkie know you’re thinking of them.

When you sign up, your first box will ship the following Wednesday. Why Wednesday? They only send packages in the middle of the week to ensure freshness. The partners roast the beans on Monday and Tuesday.
Then, this company packages them to send to you while they are still perfectly fresh. That keeps the coffee from being bitter. After that first shipment, your monthly box will ship every four Wednesdays.
If you ordered the weekly subscription, it would ship every Wednesday. The bi-monthly subscription will ship every-other Wednesday.
Shipping is free for United States customers. However, the company does offer expedited shipping at an additional cost. If you just can’t wait, you can choose this option at checkout.
If you are planning to purchase a box for a special holiday like Christmas, Father’s Day, or Valentine’s Day, be sure to check with the company for details. There may be a rush of orders for these holidays, which means there can be a cutoff for order dates.

To make sure you aren’t charged for your next box, cancel by 11:59 pm Pacific Time on Thursday before your next package is set to ship.
As you can imagine, Bean Box was founded by a couple of coffee enthusiasts. Matthew and Ryan, two guys in Seattle, believed that nobody should have to drink stale, bitter coffee. So they started a subscription box done the right way.
That was in 2014. In the years that followed, this company has gotten more and more attention. They have become a leader in the coffee industry and have earned recognition from major media like The Boston Globe and Seattle Weekly.
