5 Coffee Subscription Services To Try — With Blends from Common Man Coffee Roasters, PPP Coffee, and More

Since working from home, many of us have become proud owners of coffee machines which we’ve been using daily to get our caffeine fix. While it isn’t difficult to refill our coffee supply, a lot of us might prefer the ability to switch up our roasts without having to commit fully to the new flavour — and this is where coffee subscription boxes come in.

Understanding that there might be folks who prefer different types of coffee, several local coffee businesses in Singapore have created coffee subscription boxes as part of their caffeine offerings that allow you to try out different roasts and flavours. The service works with a box of your selected coffee blend sent to you based on the subscription duration you’ve selected — which can be once every week or once every month. 

Here are 5 coffee subscription services you can consider trying.
