Head over to Atlas Coffee Club right now and buy a gift certificate for a monthly coffee subscription. It’s available for 3 months, 6 months, or if you want to give your love 365 days worth of daily love reminders via their coffee cup, then spring for the 12-month option.

Co-founder Jordan Rosenacker says the subscription plan takes customers on a coffee journey and gives them a chance to see how unique and different coffee can taste. “For instance, this month our coffee is from Peru. It has pear and caramel flavor notes,” he said. “We don’t flavor the coffee.” Instead, they find exotic blends that, like wine, bring out distinct flavors.

The coffee bags feature local textiles and landscapes to further celebrate the region where the coffee came from. They don’t put any logo or branding on the front of the bag. They also include a card that provides facts about the coffee and the country of origination.

“What people like is the experience to try new coffees in a new way,” he said. “We do the curating and find out what’s best. It allows them to hop on board and see what’s out there.”

While a certain coffee variety may only be available once through a monthly shipment, the company does keep some core varieties for individual purchase on its website.

There are choices to make when you sign up for a subscription. You’ll choose whether to receive 1, 2 or 3 bags a coffee, whether to receive bi-monthly or monthly, roast type, and whole bean or ground. A three-month subscription is $59.95, six-month $108, and a full year for $199.

Can you make great coffee in a single serve? Klatch Coffee’s answer
Is there a better option than K-Cups?
Crazy Goat coffee

While K-Cups can be appealing to coffee drinkers who value convenience at home or in the office, they're not the right choice for everyone. Although it's a fast and easy way to prepare a single cup of coffee, there are a few downsides to the system — namely that K-cup pods can be difficult to recycle (and while refillable pods exist, that depends on the user choosing that option, which isn't always a given considering quick and convenient are two of the main appeals of the system). We interviewed Klatch Coffee's expert roaster, Heather Perry, to learn more about the specialty roaster's approach to single-serve coffee.
Klatch Coffee's single-serve coffee alternatives

Klatch Coffee's single-serving Bruvi pods make it easy to enjoy high-quality, specialty coffee wherever you are. The brand has partnered with a few select providers who share their vision, one of which is Bruvi.
"Bruvi is an improved pod coffee system with a couple of unique features," Perry said. "First is taste and quality; the proprietary brewing system brews to the same high standards as specialty coffee roasters like Klatch Coffee, including adjusting the brewing parameters to match our brewing recipe. That’s why premium coffee from roasters like Klatch is offered on the Bruvi platform. Second, Bruvi’s B-Pods are enzyme-infused and designed to be tossed in the trash, making them guilt-free. B-Pods degrade faster in the landfill without leaving microplastics behind."
It’s also worth noting that for coffee drinkers who only want a single cup at a time, single-serve brewing can be more efficient on resources like water, coffee, and energy. Pre-portioned coffee doesn’t spill, and machines only heat the water needed for a single cup. There’s no waste from discarding leftover coffee from a large pot.
