I’m doing less of a lot of things right now: walking in the park, putting on makeup, eating food at regular hours. But there is one thing I’m doing a lot more of in quarantine, and that’s drinking coffee. I went on a hunt for the best coffee subscription service because, since social distancing went into effect, I’ve been guzzling the dark stuff down like it’s the linchpin holding my sanity together.
I’ve never not been a coffee person. I started drinking it black in high school (shout-out to McDonald’s drive-through), the coffee bar at my wedding was better stocked than the open bar, and my teeny-tiny Brooklyn kitchen has an entire shelf dedicated to coffee accoutrements. Yes, I’ve sacrificed cooking essentials and matching cups to store my scale, Chemex, espresso maker, and kettle. Given that local coffee shops are closed and I want to limit trips to get groceries, I decided to test a number of coffee subscription services and ranked them all below.
Apart from sending you liquid gold, some of these coffee subscription boxes are doing especially awesome things right now—like giving back to local roasters, donating a portion of proceeds to charity, or giving directly to the people who grow their beans internationally. So go on, wake up, smell the coffee, and do good while you’re at it.
