How Atlas Coffee Club Works
When you head to the Atlas Club website and click through to the ‘How it Works’ section, you will find two links. One takes you to the Coffee of the Month Club to subscribe, and the other takes you to learn more about The Coffee Collection. Bear in mind that it is not possible to select or purchase individual bags of coffee from the Coffee Collection and you are only able to select your subscription preferences to get a certain flavor palate. Once you sign up to an Atlas Coffee Subscription, you will get:
- One bag of single origin coffee
- Brewing tips and tasting notes for your coffee
- A postcard from the coffee’s country of origin
You can customize your subscription in several different ways, including choosing to receive from just half a bag of coffee to four bags of coffee, with options to select whether you would prefer to receive light, medium or dark roast beans, and whole beans or pre-ground coffee. Once you have signed up for your subscription, you will get access to an Atlas Coffee Club customer account where you can log in and adjust your preferences whenever you like. You can also choose when you would like to receive orders, including as frequently as one package per week, or less frequently, such as a bag every couple of months. The subscription is billed on a pre-order basis; however, you can log into your customer account at any time to make changes to this. You can also choose decaf options if you like the taste of coffee but are avoiding caffeine.
