Frequently Asked Questions

We have one simple mission: to bring you amazing coffee experiences every month. Our tasting boxes allow you to sample three different super premium coffees from roasters around the country. Our coffee industry experts taste over 60 coffees a month and hand-select only their absolute favorites to include in your tasting box.

The coffee beans that you'll receive in your tasting box are not your typical grocery store varieties. These beans are painstakingly sourced and lovingly crafted into the perfect flavor profiles. Artisan hands and expert palates guide them into your cup.

At Craft Coffee, we believe in our roasters and the quality product that they deliver to you. We work closely with every roaster whose product we include in your tasting box. Some are tiny upstarts, fighting for a chance to change what coffee means to you. Some are award-wining micro-roasters who live on the vanguard of cuisine and culinary excellence. But each of them pours their heart and soul into their craft.
