Crema.co

What's in the box: Each delivery is a bag of fresh-roasted specialty coffee from an independent roaster, chosen from your own queue and the site's quiz-based suggestions.

Crema.co is a coffee subscription built around a personal queue rather than a fixed monthly box. You take a short quiz about your taste and set how often you want deliveries. The site then fills the bottom half of your Brew Queue with suggestions, and you can add your own picks to the top. The first coffee in line is the next one roasted and shipped. You can reorder or remove coffees and pause at any time. As you rate what you drink, the suggestions are meant to get closer to what you like. The catalog draws on more than 65 independently owned specialty roasters and over 1000 coffees, so variety is the main appeal. Shipping is always free, and new customers get half off their first bag after taking the quiz. If you don't want to commit to a full bag, sample kits with three coffees from three roasters let you try a few first. If you want brewing equipment, note that this service sells beans, not gear. Instead of hardware, the site offers free brew guides for French press, Hario V60 and Chemex. There is also a separate option for workplaces. The company has left social media, so news and coffee giveaways come through a weekly newsletter.
