Podium Coffee Club launches first-of-its kind coffee subscription service

Podium Coffee Club has made a grand debut — delivering exceptional coffees only from roasters who have stood on the podium at the nation’s top coffee competitions. This first-of-its-kind coffee subscription service is designed for coffee lovers who want the highest quality, freshness, and flavor delivered to their doorstep. Sam LaRobardiere, co-founder of Podium Coffee Club and certified Q Grader, noted that the company is “excited to launch what [they] think is the best coffee subscription on the market.”

After competing with major coffee roasting competitors, Sam recognized the gap in the market for subscribers who want the best coffee in the nation. From this idea, he founded Podum Coffee Club with co-founder Paul Pigott. The brand is focused on three things that set it apart from other coffee subscription services on the market. Firstly, the brands included in the subscription are only from the top 1% of the nation’s talent. Secondly, coffees are shipped within 24 hours of roasting to ensure the optimal freshness for every brew. Lastly, Podium Coffee Club does not require a long-term commitment by subscribers, giving them the flexibility to adapt the subscription to their needs. Paul said the ability for customers to cancel at any time puts the “pressure on [them] to send subscribers amazing coffee consistently.”

If you've felt bloated after your morning cup of joe, you'll want to understand how coffee can affect your digestive system.
Can coffee cause bloating?

This is because coffee is acidic and may stimulate the production of stomach acid, potentially leading to discomfort or digestion issues like bloating." Coffee can also cause irritation to the lining of the small intestine and stomach, leaving you with other symptoms that accompany bloating, such as gas or abdominal pain.
