Uncover New Roasters with Trade Coffee

Trade Coffee, Keep Grindin’

Tried all the coffee you can find at the store? Ready for new flavors, new roasts, and variety in your daily drip? We are too. That’s why discovering new coffers, supporting independent roasters and getting new coffee delivered to your door that tastes realllllyyyy good is what Trade is all about.

Trade is a coffee brand that gives coffee lovers a first class ticket to exploring freshly roasted coffee while meeting roasters across the world (not literally just by trying their coffee), so you can experience great coffee in your best cup. Trade guides coffee fans to coffee freaks (like us) through various brands and beans aiming to deliver your next best cup. Our crew gave Trade a test and explored their lineup and process for great coffee shipped to consumers doors.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

Better coffee matters and that is why Trade sources the best speciality coffee on the planet and ships it to your door. Most coffee is dull, stale, and questionably sourced, and Trade saw there was a better way. That’s why they handpick the highest quality, ethically sourced coffee, to connect coffee drinkers to roasters across the US and help them discover coffee they’ll love.

Here's How Trade Makes It Happen

Expert Curation

Our dedicated experts search the US for the very best roasters. From there, our Q Grader (coffee’s premier certification) tastes each coffee and curates a special selection meeting the highest quality standards while satisfying the widest range of tastes.

Human-Backed Personalization

Our data scientists and coffee pros join forces to deliver the best coffee matches on the planet. They pair feedback from real coffee drinkers with expert tasting notes to narrow down 450+ coffees to personalized recommendations for each coffee drinker.

Direct Connections

With a tech-supported network and rich suite of customization tools, Trade delivers coffee from across the US to your door — always sent at peak freshness at your preferred timing. Our revolutionary compostable packaging is better for the Earth, too.

TESTING IT OUT

Once our crew signed up for Trade (which is free to do so), and started filling out the profile on our Coffee Preferences and interests, we started getting excited about what was to come. This process was pretty simple and easy to go through. The platform makes picking easy and yes, you can change these settings at any time.

Our crew went more towards flavors we haven’t tried before, picked our grind settings and the submitted the quiz. Instantly we were given suggestions and coffee recommendations. Our first bag was confirmed and after plugging in our billing information, the order was on the way!

The first bag of coffee arrived and man was it good! We had seen the coffee in a local shop when we visited Lake Tahoe but never knew much about it- until now. Our crew prefers to grind our own beans so we got a nice bag of full whole bean light roast and brewed it up! Each order comes with specific information about Trade process and the coffee gurus who make it happen.

After the first bag arrived, Trade got back to work curating our next bag that shipped. Every two weeks, a new roast is roasted and ready to ship to your door. You can cancel, change bags or brew, and modify before the final cut off for shipment. The flexibility really is unique!

Testing these coffee blends/varieties out was a hit around the office. The bag holding the coffee didn’t impact the taste, and the beans were fresh and perfect. Much respect to Trade for delivering such good quality coffee with so many options.
