7g Roaster Monthly Coffee Subscription

What's in the box: A monthly delivery of specialty coffee roasted in house in Vila Nova de Gaia, likely drawn from its current single origin range.

7g Roaster is a specialty coffee roaster based in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from Porto. It also runs a cafeteria and short stay apartments. Its monthly subscription sits alongside a regular shop of single origin coffees, brewing equipment and apparel. The current range leans toward African origins, with lots such as Kenya Ndunduri AA, Kenya Lot 20 and Ethiopia Ayla Bombe. That suggests a roaster that values bright, fruit forward specialty beans over everyday blends. The site is available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Checkout takes MB Way, card and ATM payment, which will suit buyers in Portugal. Orders ship within 24 to 72 hours to Portugal and the rest of Europe. Note that the free shipping offer for larger orders does not apply to subscriptions, so expect to pay delivery on each box. The site does not clearly set out how the subscription works: bag sizes, grind options, how coffees are chosen each month and the subscription price are not stated. Check those details before you sign up. If you live near Porto or simply want a small Portuguese roaster with its own café behind it, this is an appealing way to try rotating specialty coffees.
