So what is a Coffee Membership?
First of all, we need to start by explaining exactly what a membership product is, in a general sense. Since the pandemic, the rise of digital products have become increasingly popular on the internet.
So what are memberships exactly?
Memberships are subscriptions or community driven products which offer you some form of value. That could be in the form of content, video, audio or exclusive perks for members who subscribe.
Typically, these memberships provide a range of tailored benefits in exchange for a small fee.
So now we’ve explained that, let’s get back to coffee memberships specifically.
Generally speaking, most offer you some rewards or money saving benefit which in tougher times like these (heading into a recession), it’s a great idea to help your bank balance.
So now we’ve explained that, let’s get back to coffee memberships specifically.
I’ve done some thorough research online and found a handful of these new membership products so you can explore them and decide whether you like the look of them.
From the research we’ve carried out, coffee memberships seem to fall into two main categories:
Digital Coffee Memberships
1. Eating in London – VIP Membership
So we have some exciting news. We actually recently launched our very own membership product (That’s why we know so much about this topic).
Ours is actually a broader food and drink membership which offers food and drink fanatics the opportunity to save money online by subscribing and redeeming discounts and offers.
Not only that, but we’ve carefully validated every partner brand to ensure they align with quality. Since afterall, we’re really fussy about our food, drink and coffee quality.
As a VIP member you’ll access exclusive restaurant deals in London, as well as a huge range of online partner brands. Examples include Hello Fresh, Pip & Nut, Pasta Evangelists along with a big range of coffee roasters who we’ve managed to privately negotiated exclusive discounts with.
Examples of coffee partners include: Assembly Coffee, Gentleman Baristas, Rounton Coffee, Balance Coffee, Pact Coffee & More.
What does this mean?
It means you can subscribe & save to unlock these amazing deals and save up to 60% off coffee online.
Give us a try from just £4.99 per month.
2. Coffee Perks
The second coffee membership we found is from Coffee Perks. They specifically cater to coffee shop savings rather than online purchases when compared to Eating in London.
So if your work takes you to different places, and you’re always buying coffee from different coffee shop chains and independents then this product could be for you.
What we like most, is the key benefits is their downloadable app.
3. Tastecard Coffee Membership
If you haven’t heard of Tastecard, you might have been hiding under a rock for the last 10 years. Just kidding. Although, they are a pretty well known food and drink card which offers members discounts to high street restaurant chains and restaurants.
We selected Tastecard because they recently launched a coffee club perks section featuring high street coffee chains like Black Sheep Coffee, Coco Di Mama and Farm Girl.
Again, if you enjoy buying coffee on the move, this could certainly save you some money.
4. Costa Membership
Costa coffee have their very own coffee club too. Members get exclusive benefits that regular customers can’t. For example, cake on your birthday, a ‘get your drink faster’ benefit plus, loyalty rewards too.
If you’re a fan of Costa coffee, then we recommend checking that out.
Coffee Subscription Services
A coffee subscription service is a form of coffee membership however, it’s not the type that offers a wide range of options from different uk coffee roasters or coffee shops like the options listed above.
Instead, each coffee company offers their own personalised perks for subscribers. Whether that’s exclusive discounts on products, tailored service plans or freebies.
Here are a few of the best coffee memberships we’ve picked out from conducting our research.
1. Balance Coffee Subscription
offer a fantastic UK coffee subscription with a whole host of benefits for their customers. For example, free shipping, 15% off on every recurring order which is a huge saving if you’re really into drinking speciality coffee.
2. Due Fratelli Coffee Subscription
I’ve been working in the coffee industry for over a decade and I hadn’t heard of Due Fratelli Coffee before.
To my surprise, they’ve put together a fantastic coffee membership for vip customers which is worth taking a look if you’re a coffee obsessed person.
3. Peets Coffee Memberships
Finally, is Peets Coffee. A veteran coffee company, originally starting back in 1966 We really love their website because they have a coffee subscription quiz finder which matches your preferences via engaging questions a coffee flavour wheel – genius!
You’ll get some awesome perks for becoming a subscriber too so give them a try.
