Sip The Drip

Anyone else feel like August is the start of fall? Around this time of year we start getting excited for all the spookiness and fall vibes. Colorful trees, warm drinks, and soups are just around the corner and we can’t wait!

This month, you’ll find coffees from Wild Goose, Rising Star, Heartwood, and Commonplace Coffee. Subscribers will notice some new coffees from Rising Star and Heartwood, along with fan favorites from previous boxes making a comeback this month. Since some of our subscribers missed on on last month’s Wild Goose selections we’re showcasing the same coffees in our August box as the July box.

Summer is in full swing and we’re ready to soak up all the sunshine and drink plenty of coffee. Thankfully we have the perfect coffees in store for these long summer days! Keep yourself “hydrated” during the summer heat by making iced coffee! *Pro Tip* use coffee to make iced coffee cubes and substitute these instead of ice so your coffee doesn’t get watered down!

*Insert funny “It’s gonna be May” meme*

Time is flying by but hopefully you’ve found a minute to sit back, relax, and sip the drip. Take a moment to savor these incoming coffees because they are truly unique! We’re bringing some new goodies from our very first roaster, Rising Star and also showcasing some phenomenal works of art from our newest roasters Mad Priest, Commonplace, and Notion. We’re very excited to try Rising Star’s new Spring blend, Notion’s Retro Espresso, and Mad Priest’s Bugoyi Islands single origin.  

Happy Easter! Instead of getting an easter basket, you’ll be getting an easter box filled with amazing coffees! We’ve got fan favorites coming from Wild Goose, Heartwood, The Grind, and Dark Ritual and some unique new coffees from our newest roasters Notion & Mad Priest! We’re so excited to have Notion and Mad Priest partnering with us to help bring you all amazing specialty coffees. The guys over at Notion are some of the friendliest people we’ve had a chance to work with and their coffees have been incredible to try via pour over. We’ve loved every single coffee we’ve had from them and we hope you do too! We’re also excited to have the fun and hilarious group over at Mad Priest become part of Dripbox! We love having the ability to work alongside roasters that are extremely skilled at what they do, but also have a great sense of humor. If you get a chance – check out their YouTube videos (one of which is a Pulp Fiction parody)!
