Atlas Coffee Club Review

Ready To Try Some Of The Top 1% Of Coffee From Around The World?

Atlas Coffee Club is a subscription service that curates the world’s best coffee and delivers it right to your doorstep.

Atlas makes it easy to travel the world with a cup of coffee -- its curated single origin  coffees come from over 50 countries — think Tanzania, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica, Malawi... 

The best part? Each of these countries offers coffee with unique differences in their flavor: you’ll be able to taste the naturally occurring flavor notes, such as chocolate, raisin, berries, honey, and more.

For as low as $9/month, Atlas Coffee Club delivers the following to your door: 

• Single-origin, specialty-grade, freshly-roasted coffee -- no more brewing beans that have been sitting on the shelves for months!
• A postcard with an image of the country’s unique beauty and information on the history of coffee in that region
• The unique tasting notes of that coffee, including chocolate, black tea, blueberry, honey, strawberry, fig -- specialty coffee has 800 aromatic and flavor notes
• Brewing tips (such as what type of device to use)

As a coffee lover, I can honestly say the coffee I’ve tried from Atlas is some of the best I’ve ever had. No two bags of beans have the same flavor profile and I get to try coffee that I would never get to otherwise. 

Atlas is the perfect way for you to try unique micro-lot coffees from around the world that you can’t find anywhere else -- all from the comfort of your home!

Full disclosure: Atlas sent me several bags of beans to try, but all opinions are my own. 

How It Works

Each month, you’ll receive a bag of coffee curated by Atlas that highlights the unique flavors from a specific country. These bags contain specialty grade, single-origin, sustainably farmed beans or grounds with their own flavor, a result of the conditions in which it was grown (soil, climate, elevation, harvest time, etc). 

Atlas Coffee Club sources beans grown at a high altitude, hand-picked when they are perfectly ripe, and carefully roasted to showcase their unique sweetness, tasting notes, and flavor profile. 

Wondering how those delicious nuances change from country to country? It’s thanks to factors like climate, soil, and processing that make coffee from each country have unique regional flavors. With Ethiopian coffees, expect notes of berries and red fruit; brew a batch from Indonesia and you'll pick up on earthier, herbal notes; sip on a Guatemalan brew to enjoy a rich, chocolatey sweetness.

Something else equally important: the coffee you’ll be enjoying is sustainably grown and ethically sourced. Atlas always pays their farmer partners above fair trade prices, so these farmers can continue to invest in their crops and communities and grow high quality coffee year after year. 

The coffee delivered to you is fresh -- beans are roasted to order to ensure you receive the freshest batch.

Atlas sends you coffee in a beautiful and uniquely-designed vibrant bag that reflects and celebrates the country’s culture, wildlife, landscapes, and textiles. Just looking at the patterns and colors inspired by the country helps you connect with the rich heritage.

Getting this incredible and fresh coffee is also affordable. Atlas offers three different subscription models: 

1. $9 for a half bag (6 ounces, around 15 cups)
2. $14 for a single bag (12 ounces, around 30 cups)
3. $28 for a double bag (24 ounces, around 60 cups)

No matter how much you order, you’ll only have to pay a flat shipping fee of $4.95 -- and you can skip, cancel, or change your shipping frequency at any time.

After you place your first order, you’ll be automatically enrolled in a rewards program that allows you to earn points based on the number of countries you’ve received coffee from, how far the coffee has traveled, any referrals made, and gifts bought for family and friends. 

Atlas makes the subscription process easy -- you can even personalize your coffee preferences! Need beans more than once a month because you just love fresh coffee? You can set your schedule to have bags delivered every two to four weeks. Have a favorite roast? You can choose that too -- light-to medium, medium-to-dark, or all roast types. You can even pick the grind -- whole bean or ground bags.

Bonus: Atlas makes a great gift for coffee loving friends and family — you can go on a “coffee world tour” together and enjoy what the world of coffee has to offer!

I've really enjoyed trying coffees from Atlas and I'm looking forward to where my coffee will take me next. If you want to start trying coffee from around the world, you can try the club here.
