Tonx until February: Free, as in beer.

Dear Internet Friends,

We started Tonx just a few short months ago and the response has been very encouraging. We do one thing, and do it well - which is ship great coffee to your doorstep when you need it.

Right now we want more people to experience our product, plain and simple.

So we’ve decided (temporarily) to allow people to sign up for a free trial of Tonx. If you sign up before February (and we haven’t totally run out of product) we will send you a half bag of Tonx, for free.

If you know of others who have been wanting to try Tonx, or perhaps someone who doesn’t know about Tonx yet but should - now might be a good time to spread the word!

Sincerely, Nik

one bag at a time: Kenya Karatina AA - Tonx

They [Tonx] work hard to back up the claim that they really want you to drink good coffee and it shows. This means You can email them, call them, or send them a letter and they’ll respond. This also means they ship out your coffee within 24 hours of it being roasted and send it priority so it gets to you super fresh. If you haven’t yet left this silly blog to sign up for their awesome subscription, which gets you an awesome bag of coffee every two weeks, I’ll go on. Something that their coffee and business model has taught me is to just chill out. You don’t have to fret about whether you are drinking the coolest current single origin or waste a lot of time dialing that coffee in to your preferred method. I’ve had five coffees from them in the last two months and they’ve all been tasty in all the methods I can think of. Tonx is like rehab. Relax and enjoy the coffee.

This type of feedback creates many smiles in the Tonx HQ.

@nleach: 2011 in Coffee

nleach:

Coffee of the Year

Looking back over the year, was there a single stand out? You bet!

Tonx

I’d like to say this was a difficult decision, and while more than a few exceptional coffees hit my cup, none came close to the El Salvador Finca Montery Bambu from Tonx. The Coffee Adventures review of this coffee pretty much sums it up for me:

I enjoyed this coffee more than I can put words together to describe this feeling.

The aroma alone convinced fellow developer Bob Patterson to give coffee a second chance.

Hot damn! Thanks Nicky!

This presentation from Tom Preston-Werner, founder of GitHub, is a veritable master class on building teams and company culture. 

Have a flip through here or click/tap to see the speaker notes which add much more depth to the slides. 

Frankly, almost everything that has come out of Powerset and Github on company building/culture is something that frequently send to others and re-read frequently. They are empowering, smart, and wonderfully opinionated.

brews: (Photo via Nathen Heskew) A couple of months ago I signed up for Tonx, a coffee subscription service. Their pitch: We are a small team of longtime coffee zealots focusing on sending great coffee straight to your door. All of our efforts go towards helping you brew the best possible coffee at home. Most subscriptions are created by previously notable coffee roasters. Tonx was started by a former Intelligentsia employee, but they are not attached to any existing coffee shop. They ship (2) 12 oz bags a month for 35 dollars and the coffee is different every time. This review would end right here if the coffee was bad, but that is not the case. I wake up every morning excited about how the new batch will taste. However, one of my favorite parts about the subscription has nothing to do with the coffee. Every piece of correspondence they send proves that they: Care about coffee. Care about their customer’s coffee and experience. They send cupping notes, emails about how excited they are about a particular batch and even remind people to change their mailing address for the holiday if they are traveling. I feel like my coffee experience is in good hands with Tonx. The coffee is more expensive than the Stumptown beans that I was buying at a local shop, but in this new Amazon Prime based world, the convenience is worth a few extra dollars per month. They ship immediately after roasting and the LA to NY trip takes 2-5 days. I wish it was always two days, but most of the beans I find in local shops are at least a week old, so this is not a deal breaker. Tonx is a great option for those that want no fuss infusions of good coffee and good cheer. It is also nice to support a couple of guys who are trying to share what they love. Thank you so much! We appreciate the support!
