Folk Coffee Club named one of Bon Appétit's best coffee subscriptions of 2026

We'll keep this short, because we're still grinning. Bon Appétit just named Folk Coffee Club one of the best coffee subscriptions of 2026. They picked us as "Best for artsy coffee lovers who are into rare beans." Honestly, we couldn't have written a better one.

If you've been with us from the start, you're a big part of why we're on that list. If you're just finding us, welcome. Pull up a chair.

What Bon Appétit had to say

Their review opens with a line that sums up exactly who we make Folk for:

If you're into the idea of coffee drinking as a ritualistic ~experience~, Folk Coffee Club is for you.

They also called our coffees "rare coffees you won't find anywhere else." And they closed with the line we'll be rereading for a while:

If you're the type to linger over your morning cup, this one's worth every penny.

Lingering over your morning cup is pretty much the whole point.

What makes Folk different

Rare coffees, chosen by a Q-Grader. Q-Graders are certified coffee tasters, the sommeliers of the coffee world. Only a few hundred of them work in the U.S., and Folk was founded by one. Every coffee we send scores 86 points or higher and is roasted in micro-lots.

One theme, two coffees. Each month's Volume is built around a single idea: an origin, a process, or a seasonal moment. Think of it like a wine flight, just for your morning.

A story and a soundtrack. Every box comes with the story behind each coffee: where it grew, who grew it, and why it tastes the way it does. There's also a playlist to brew to. It's an easy way to make an ordinary Tuesday feel a little more like Saturday morning.

No decisions, no overwhelm. Bon Appétit pointed out that Folk "gives you zero options," and we'll own that one. Picking from a wall of bags isn't the fun part. Tasting is. So we do the choosing, and you get to enjoy it.

Want to try it before you commit?

Bon Appétit mentioned that we're on the pricey side and that subscriptions are two coffees a month. Both are true, and both are on purpose. Coffees this rare cost more to source, and the pair tells the story.

If you'd like to dip a toe in first, you can pick up a single Volume or a single coffee without subscribing. Browse what's available in the Volume library, or match your favorite flavors to a Folk coffee with our Flavor Wheel.

How a Folk subscription works

1. We choose. Every month, a new Volume delivers to your door with two rare coffees that share one story.
2. You subscribe. Go month to month, or prepay and save. Shipping is always free on orders over $50.
3. You savor. Open, brew, and take your time.
