What the espresso plan sends
Our espresso bean subscription sends a 12 oz bag roasted for espresso by a different independent Massachusetts roaster in every box. Set the style to espresso in the plan builder, pick whole bean or ground, and choose every 2 or 4 weeks. It costs $16.99 a bag like every other roast. First bag free, you pay $7.99 shipping.
Each roaster decides what goes in an espresso bag. One roaster's idea of espresso is a dark, heavy blend for milk drinks; another roasts a single origin lighter for straight shots. That spread is the point of the plan.

A bag roasted to order by a Massachusetts roaster ships straight from the roastery to you. It never sits in a distribution center first. The money goes to people roasting here. More on why local roasters matter.
Espresso plan questions
Does espresso cost more than other coffee?
No. Espresso is $16.99 a bag, the same as every other roast and style.
Can I get espresso and a drip coffee in one box?
Yes. Choose two bags and give the second its own roast and style, for example espresso for the machine and a medium blend for the drip brewer.
Is there a decaf espresso?
Not as one style: espresso and decaf are separate styles in the plan builder, so pick espresso for one bag and decaf for a second bag. Several roasters we list, such as Jaho, sell a decaf espresso on their own sites.
