This Curated Coffee Subscription Box Will Turn You Into a Morning Person

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Gonzaga chapter.

I’m no coffee connoisseur, but like most adults in the United States, I crave and savor my daily cup o’ Joe.

I love testing out new coffee drinks and blends but making a decision about which one to purchase can be difficult when you’re not exactly sure which roasts and brands suit you best.

And, that’s why I let MistoBox call the shots (pun definitely intended).
MistoBox is a coffee subscription service that caters to your preferences. It’s easy – you simply fill out a flavor profile and allow your assigned coffee curator to select a java that will make you jump for joy.

The “basic” price tier ranges from $13 to $16, with 6 shipments for $13.59 and 12 shipments for $12.72; the “deluxe” tier from $15 to $18, with 6 shipments for $16.14 and 12 shipments for $15.19; and the “exclusive” tier from $17 and up, with 6 shipments for $18.69 and 12 for $17.59. MistoBox will replace your coffee free of charge if you find it’s not to your liking. And, yes, shipping is always free, plus you can pause or cancel the subscription at any time.

Seth Mills, my coffee curator, has been nothing but incredibly helpful and attentive. MistoBox employees take pride in providing high-quality, personal customer service. When I corresponded with Seth, he noted, “We work really hard to give all of our subscribers a genuine experience with someone who wants to take care of them. We work with over 30 of the best roasters in the country…so we are able to send you a variety of coffees that are specified to exactly what you want to drink.”

Seth mentioned his favorite thing about MistoBox is that there is something for every kind of customer.

“If you are a coffee nerd who has really specific preferences and wants to talk about extraction percentages and your favorite brew method or ratios, we love that,” he said. But MistoBox is also happy to cater to newbies like me who don’t know to operate a French press from a French horn. All coffee enthusiasts are welcome here.

For my first shipment, I was sent Anodyne Coffee Roasting Company’s Milwaukee Rock Star Blend, a “dark and light roasted South and Central American coffee,” with “tons of body, mild acidity, and a smoky spice.” I thoroughly enjoyed this coffee because it was relatively bold, but not too bitter. MistoBox did an excellent job of selecting a coffee to fit my profile, and I can’t wait to see which brands and roasts they send in the future.

MistoBox is perfect for college students who are bored with their current caffeine routines and those who are coffee-curious. For coffee lovers, new or seasoned, there is little more satisfying than finding the perfect blend, getting the ratios right, and enjoying a warm cup of pure bliss before morning classes. MistoBox streamlines this process by sending you unique, quality brands to fit your flavor profile.
