Ditch those stale beans and treat yourself to home deliveries of single-origin coffee straight from local roasters.
Waking up to find out that you've run out of coffee is a terrible way to start the day, and it's almost as bad as the burnt taste of a bad brew that you bought on sale. To help remedy these sad circumstances, L.A.-based Moustache Coffee Club offers a subscription delivery service of quality coffee from local roasters. They curate a selection of premium, single-origin beans that are lightly roasted and shipped the same day to your home.
Moustache rotates the sources of their beans to feature different Fair Trade coffee farms and seasonal selections. The beans are then roasted in or near L.A. by small batch roasters with names you'll likely recognize, including Intelligentsia, Culver City's Bar Nine, Mid-City's Healing Coffee Roasters, downtown's Suits & Knives and award-winning Portola Coffee Lab in Costa Mesa. And they're often adding more roasters to the roster. Moustache not only saves you the trouble of having to go to all these places and stock up, they also offer a fresher roast than even the beans that are on the shelves, which can sit there for a while. These are some seriously quality beans.
There are a few subscription levels to choose from, including weekly, bi-weekly and monthly, and you can even check them out with a free sample. The 12 oz. bags go for $19, which is about what you'd pay at most of L.A.'s premium coffee shops, plus you get the convenience of free delivery and rare, single-origin roasts, which can sometimes cost more at the store.
And if you're looking to upgrade your coffee-making skills along with your better batch of beans, Moustache Coffee Club can help with that, too.
