Tester: Alaina Chou is a commerce writerThis service is best for: Anyone who wants expert guidance to discover new coffees. After testing this service for several months, I was impressed with the way Misto customized its selections according to my tastes. What sets MistoBox aside is the second, more detailed quiz that asks you about your brewing method, how you grind and other details to help the team place your order. I find the whole process genuinely personal and the expert-curated aspect to be the second major perk of a subscription. The first shipment of the Roma Espresso Blend was from Parisi Artisan Coffee. It was described as having notes such as milk chocolate, honeysuckle, and almond. I drink espresso most often with milk, in a cappuccino that is made using my Breville Oracle Jet. The Roma blend that MistoBox sent to me based on this information worked beautifully. The coffees you have tried will appear in your dashboard. Your “Brew Queue” (also known as your “Brew List”) and the coffees you are currently brewing will also be displayed. The next coffees that will be delivered to your home are listed in a “MistoBox’s choice” order. However, if you love a coffee and want it again, or see a coffee in their collection that you would like to request, you can add specific coffees to your queue. These will appear as “MistoBox’s choice” by default, but if you loved a coffee you tried and want it again, or spy a coffee in their collection that you’d like to request, you can opt to add specific coffees to your queue as well.The bottom line: MistoBox’s user-friendly interface and extensive feedback options make it a great choice for anyone looking for some expert guidance in discovering new coffees from roasters all over the country.For the decaf drinker: Swiss WaterSwiss WaterCurated Coffee Subscription$18 Swiss WaterPros and consProsGreat quality decaf coffees from a wide range of roastersStraightforward serviceConsNo customization options or choicesShipment dates can vary depending on roasters’ timelinesOnly available in the USPrice: $18/12-oz.
