Moka Clube

What's in the box: Freshly roasted 100% arabica Brazilian specialty coffee chosen from a rotating lineup of blends, single farm lots and limited editions.

Moka Clube is a Brazilian specialty coffee roaster based in Curitiba. It sells single bags and also runs a subscription club. It says every coffee is 100% arabica, scores 84 points or higher, and is roasted daily. The range is wide: chocolatey crowd pleasers, single farm lots, an organic coffee, a decaf, a dark roast, and a line of barrel aged coffees finished in bourbon whiskey and Shiraz wine casks. It also makes nitrogen flushed capsules. The company says it adds no flavorings, so notes like caramel or chocolate describe the beans themselves and not syrups. Moka Clube says it visits growing regions in person and has long relationships with producers that give it priority on rare lots, and new coffees come in throughout the year. The weak spot for a subscription shopper is detail. The homepage does not explain how the club works, how much coffee arrives, how often it ships, or whether you can choose your grind, so read the club page closely before you sign up. The service is built for Brazil, so most buyers abroad will need to look elsewhere, although the company does run a separate export business. For coffee drinkers in Brazil who want fresh, traceable domestic coffee with some adventurous options, it is a solid choice.
