2025 Coffee Club Reviews

Coffee of the Month Club

• Pricing: $37.95 to $40.95 per month, with free shipping
• Two 12-ounce bags of 100% Arabica coffee per delivery
• Subscription lengths from 2 to 12 months
• Delivery frequency options: monthly, every other month, or every three months
• Option to send personalized messages with each order for gift subscriptions
• 30 years of business experience with an "A+" BBB rating

Coffee of the Month Club operates under the parent company Clubs of America, which offers various clubs for perishables like pizza, chocolate, flowers, and even cigars. They have an "A+” BBB rating and have been in business for 30 years, with over 3 million packages delivered and 100,000 happy customers served. There are no unique selling points and not much potential for customization, though. It's kind of a "you get what you get” situation with these guys.

Mix and match with their other clubs

With clubs and subscription-based services becoming the norm, it looks like this company is losing its competitive edge day by day to companies that specialize in just one offering. The only advantage we can come up with here that you can't necessarily find with most other coffee clubs is the ability to mix and match your subscriptions. So, if you want coffee monthly as well as wine, you can do that in one place.

Coffees from around the world

The Coffee of the Month Club includes two 12 ounce bags of whole bean or ground 100% Arabica coffee and the coffee Expeditions newsletter with details about your selections and coffee in general. If you're gifting a subscription to someone else, you can send personalized messages with each order - a great way to regularly remind someone you love that they're on your mind. Past selections of this coffee club have included Guatemalan Faijanes, Celebes Kalossi, Indian Monsooned Malabar 99, and Zambia AA, to name a few.

No decaf, no choice

Whereas other companies allow you to make changes to your order before it's shipped, Coffee of the Month Club is not so lenient. You get what you get, and if you don't like it, there doesn't seem to be much you can do. There is a "100% satisfaction guarantee”, but their wording about it makes it sound like it doesn't cover individual taste. You might like to know that there are no decaf options with this coffee club, and sometimes, one of the two coffees in your order will be flavored. That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how much of a coffee purist you are.

$18.98 a bag

When you create your account or place your first order with the Coffee of the Month Club, you'll choose the length of your subscription, ranging from 2 to 12 months. Longer subscriptions offer slight savings. The cost starts at $37.95 (or $18.98 per bag) and goes up to $40.95 per month, depending on the subscription length, and shipping is free. You can set your delivery frequency to monthly, every other month, or every three months. Each delivery includes two 12-ounce bags of premium coffee. Lastly, you'll need to specify your coffee preference: ground or whole bean. We didn't see anywhere to indicate preference for light, medium, or dark roasts.

Not competitive

We find Coffee of the Month Club a bit outdated. While they've been around for 30 years, they don't quite keep pace with today's coffee subscriptions. You can't customize much, and the price isn't great either. There's nothing that really makes them stand out. Try one of our higher-rated coffee clubs for something more personalized.
