If there is one One thing most of us can agree on is that a good cup of joe is a great way to start the day right – a glass mugs half full, if you will. What do however, a good cup of coffee is up to your taste buds. The best first step? Upgrade your coffee with freshly roasted beans. Atlas Coffee Club is one of our favorite coffee subscription services, and if you’ve never subscribed before, it’s The Amazon Prime Day deal gives you a 50 percent discount until July 14th.
Atlas sends coffee from a new country every month, and you can choose your preferred type of roast, whether you want whole beans or ground, how many bags you want, and how often. (More on why we like the Atlas further down.) The standard bag of 12 ounces, which corresponds to approx. 30 cups, usually costs $ 14, but the Prime Day campaign reduces it to just $ 7 for new subscribers. (Note: The price will go back up to $ 14 after the first shipment.)
On Prime Day itself (July 12 and 13), Atlas Coffee Club has two other deals going live. Its 4-pack World of Coffee Sampler will be 20 percent off, effectively costs $ 20 ($ 5 discount), with free shipping. The set contains four 1.8-ounce bags of specialty coffee from four different countries and also includes unique postcards with flavor notes. Atlas also recently launched a tea subscription service and its 4-pack World of Tea sampler will be 30 percent off, costs $ 18 ($ 7 off), plus free shipping. It also includes four 15-gram bags of loose-leaf tea from four different countries as well as unique postcards. We have not yet tried its tea service, but it is well reviewed around the web.

Why we like Atlas Coffee Club
Atlas Coffee Club collects beans of single origin from more than 50 countries and shakes them even in Austin, Texas before being sent to your door. This means that your coffee is incredibly fresh, which is one of the easiest ways you can upgrade the quality of your coffee. Its coffee bags are beautiful and thematic around the country of origin, plus you get a postcard about the country and another that explains the coffee’s taste notes and the best way to brew it. You can choose from whole bean or ground, light to medium or medium to dark roasts – or both – one, two or even half bags, and if you want them delivered every two or four weeks.
All coffee subscriptions help you discover new brews and locate your favorite notes, but Atlas makes it easy to see what’s going on outside your local Starbucks, from places like Costa Rica, Papua New Guinea, and Honduras. Given the range, you might get a bag you do not love as much as last time, but we did not get one that we did not like in our years of testing.
