What's in the box: Two types of freshly roasted specialty coffee beans, 300g to 400g in total, over a three-month term.
Knockbox Coffee is a Hong Kong specialty roaster with cafes in Mong Kok and Central, and its subscription draws on the same beans it sells in its shops. The roaster says it roasts in Hong Kong every week and only buys coffee picked when ripe, which it credits for sweeter cups. The listed plan runs for three months and covers two types of coffee beans, 300g to 400g in total, for HK$820. The site does not clearly say how often deliveries arrive in that period, or whether you can choose filter or espresso roasts. The wider range leans toward light filter roasts from origins such as Colombia and Panama, including competition lots, plus a darker espresso roast that the roaster describes as sweet rather than bitter. That range suggests the coffee is chosen with care, but with so little detail on selection and customisation, it is hard to know what each shipment will hold. The fixed three-month term also means you pay up front instead of month to month. Knockbox also runs brewing and latte art classes and sells equipment, so it suits local drinkers who want coffee, gear and training from one place. If you live outside Hong Kong, check delivery options before ordering, because the site says little about them.
