Is it worth it?
Is a coffee subscription worth it?
It is worth it if you brew coffee at home most days and want to taste more than one roaster. You pay $20.99 a bag for any roast ($21.99 for a single origin), the first bag is free, and you can skip or cancel online whenever the coffee is piling up.
What you get for that price is a different independent Oregon roaster each box, roasted to order, instead of the same supermarket bag every week. If you already have one Portland or Bend roaster you love and never want to leave, buy from them directly. That is a good outcome too.
Why buy from Oregon roasters instead of a national brand?
Because the money stays close. The roasting, packing and cafe jobs are in towns like Portland, Bend, Sisters and Eugene, and for an Oregon address the bag travels a short way from roaster to you.
Water Avenue says 90 percent or more of what it roasts is hand delivered within 50 miles of its Portland roastery. Heart gives batches that miss its standard to the local food bank. The support local page has more.
Plans and price
How much does it cost?
$20.99 a bag, any roast ($21.99 for a single origin), or $39.99 for two bags plus $1 for each single origin. Decaf costs the same as its style. First bag free. Your price is locked in. If our prices change later, your subscription keeps the price you signed up at. Shipping is $8.99 a box for one bag, or $9.99 for two. With the first bag free, a one-bag first box costs $8.99.
Is the first bag really free?
Yes, your first bag of coffee is free. One free bag per customer, matched by email and shipping address.
What can I choose?
Roast level (light, medium, dark or mix it up), style (single origin, blend or espresso), caffeine (regular or decaf) and grind (whole bean or ground). The plan builder sets all of it, and a three-question quiz can pick for you.
How big is a bag?
A full bag from the roaster's regular retail line, in the roaster's own bag. Sizes vary a little from roaster to roaster.
How often does a box come?
Every 2 or 4 weeks, your choice.
We drink different coffee at home. Can we share a box?
Yes. Pick two bags and give the second its own roast, style and caffeine. A dark blend for one person and a decaf for the other both arrive in the same box.
Do espresso and decaf cost more?
No. Espresso and blends are $20.99 a bag, and decaf costs the same as the style it goes with. A single origin is $21.99. See the espresso, decaf and single origin plans.
Gifts
How much is a gift?
$80.99 for 3 boxes, $160.99 for 6 and $320.99 for 12, shipping included. You pay once and it does not renew.
What does the gift include?
One bag per box, each from a different Oregon roaster. You pick the roast, the grind and the start date (the weekday the first box ships, up to about 6 months out), and you can add a gift note if you want one.
Can I send a gift to someone outside Oregon?
Yes, to any US address. It is a good way to send Oregon to someone who moved away. More on the gifts page.
Delivery and freshness
How fresh is the coffee?
Roasted and shipped within 3 days. Each roaster roasts your bag to order and ships it from their own roastery.
Can I pick the day my first box ships?
Yes. On the checkout page, keep as soon as possible or choose a weekday up to about 6 months away, except holidays. A gift is paid when you order. A subscription with a later date is not charged until its first box ships, and its schedule starts from that day.
Who ships my box?
The roaster does, in their own bag and packaging, with our packing slip inside. The slip names the roaster, their shop and what to taste for.
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in the US.
The roasters
Which roasters are in the club?
Independent roasters that roast in Oregon, a different one each box, named on the packing slip. The roasters on our roasters pages are local favorites we list, and a listing does not mean a roaster is part of the club.
Will I get the same roaster twice?
Oregon has 213 independent roasters by the Roast Local count. We rotate through Oregon roasters and avoid repeats for as long as the roster allows. It depends on the size of the club's roster and your delivery schedule, so there is no set number.
How do you choose roasters?
They must be independent, roast in Oregon and be operating when we check. The full policy, including how a roaster asks for a correction, is on how we choose roasters.
Do roasters get a fair price?
Each roaster names its own wholesale price. We do not ask anyone to undercut what they charge.
Your account
Can I skip, pause or cancel?
Yes, online, anytime before the next box is roasted. Every email we send has the links.
Will I know before a box ships?
Yes. A reminder email 3 days before each box tells you it is coming, so you can skip or cancel first.
What if a bag disappoints?
Free replacement if a bag disappoints: tell us and a different coffee goes out. Your ratings steer the next bag.
How do I reach a person?
Email coffee@multnomahcoffeeclub.com. Offices and roasters write to the same address, and offices can also use the quote form on the office page.
