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!
