Can I just say I’m not impressed with the Starbucks Coffee Subscription? Yes, I can definitely say it because I am sooo not impressed.
You don’t get a discount on the price of the beans. Shipping isn’t free until you hit $49 and they aren’t offering any cute freebies the way Gevalia does and the way Boca Java does. What’s the point? The only benefit I could see, for me, would be the ability to order my "seasonal favorite", Gazebo, all year long. But Gazebo isn’t even on the list today, while it is in season. So no benefit.
I suppose if you live a zillion miles away from a Starbucks and you really like their beans but don’t want to be stuck with the one or maybe two types offered by your grocery store, then this would work for you. But for the masses – I don’t think so.
Starbucks should do better.
Booooooooooooo. The Boca Java Club is only for the US. So’s Gevalia.
Sorry to hear that your Starbucks experience isn’t all it was cracked up to be. Have you ever tried Illy coffee?
Its a European espresso coffe blend that is very smooth and lacks the burnt taste that Starbucks has.
I only mention it because they have a subscription program for coffee and for espresso makers that you can pay off over a few months for those budget conscious.
I have a write up about Illy on my site if you are interested. I’ve been very pleased with them. Ciao.
