Nomad Coffee

What's in the box: A monthly delivery of freshly roasted specialty coffee from Nomad's rotating single origin lineup, available as whole bean or ground.

Nomad Coffee is a well known specialty coffee roaster based in Barcelona, with a cafe in the Poblenou neighbourhood. Its subscription, called Nomad at home, lets you choose how you want to receive coffee each month. The site does not spell out plan details, so check the subscription page for formats and frequency before you commit. The wider shop gives a good sense of what to expect. Coffees are listed by origin and producer with clear tasting notes, such as a Burundi lot with dried apricot, honey and white flowers, or a competition grade Peruvian coffee with mango and mandarin notes. Both whole bean and ground coffee are offered, which suits people without a grinder. Shipping is free to Spain and Portugal on orders over 30 euros and to the rest of Europe over 80 euros, though an asterisk on the Spain offer suggests some regional exceptions. Beyond the beans, Nomad runs a coffee academy with barista and brewing courses, sells immersion bags and brewing gear, and caters events. That depth signals a serious roaster rather than a reseller. The main drawback is that the site does not state subscription prices or customization options up front, so comparing value takes some clicking.
