Moustache Coffee Club Subscription Review + Free Trial – March 2016

Moustache Coffee Club  is a coffee subscription featuring freshly roasted single origin beans that are shipped the day they are roasted.  They feature certain roasters that appear quite frequently, but with different offerings (and always good quality).

Moustache Coffee Club offers several different plans, depending on your coffee demands, as few as a bag a month to as many as one five-pound bag every week.  You can get your first bag free by signing up. You may cancel anytime and if you don’t like the coffee you can get a refund or double the coffee.  I have not yet had to use their refund policy.

Mustache ships its coffee in sealed bags (they would be hermetic, if not for the specially-designed vent), so the coffee is always fresh from the roaster when it arrives — the bag is also resealable to maintain the freshness.  The coffee previously shipped in a bubble mailer — now it comes in a handsomely-patterned box.

I received Los Dos Socios from La Libertad, Guatemala. The beans were roasted by Lord Windsor, a regular Moustache contributor.

Moustache includes notes about each coffee on the bag.  Here: notes of papaya, cherry cola, and cacao.  I found this was a good assessment of the major flavors.  The papaya is not particularly distinct, but a sweet fruitiness does pervade the top notes.  A mellow cherry cola blends with the cocao base, making an interesting and balanced cup that has lots of interest without having an acidic or bitter character.

The note sometimes contains some general info about the coffee — but all the pertinent tasting notes and detailed information about the beans is included on the bag itself.

Moustache beans always have a very vivid nose, and the roast level is very appropriate for preserving the interesting flavor and olfactory notes.
