Highly recommend

I love Gustatory. It’s a very unique subscription tailored to my preferences and I’m not tied into anything. The coffee comes from only the best roasters from around the world and I look forward to every delivery knowing that it will be great every time! I’m a huge coffee snob and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!

One of the best in a saturated market

A great selection of constantly changing roasters at a very fair price point. I also had excellent communication over a delivery issue caused by the courier - no fault of Gustatory but they resolved it regardless, and very quickly.

Every month a little box of Joy arrives….

Every month a little box of Joy arrives. The coffee is always high quality and often a roaster I’ve wanted try or one that I’ve not heard of but often grow to love as a result. Gustatory keep it simple, the ordering process makes sense, if I have too much coffee I can pause my subscription till the next month. I tell all my friends about Gustatory and now have group of friends who all love it as much as I do. I would recommend Gustatory to anyone who loves coffee, a little surprise each month and wants to keep it simple.10/10!

Great service and superb coffee beans

Great service and superb coffee. I order 87+ coffee (natural/fruity) and cannot enjoy much other coffee beans sold on supermarkets after tasting this coffee selections. Thank you for making our mornings more beautiful.

They have very broad spectrum of roasters and we are suprised with high quality coffee each month. You can see which farm the coffee is coming and where it is roasted. Highly recommend

Well curated coffee selection

I wanted to try some new UK and international roasters but shipping prices were way too much. Gustatory solved this by not only saving me a fortune in shipping cost but also having the same coffee cheaper than otherwise ordered! The coffees shipped in the Premium subscription are consistently amazing and I loved drinking almost every single one.
One thing I'd wish they improve is the number of different subscriptions they offer. First time I came across Gustatory I did not give them a try because there were too many options to choose from on the website.

Excellent Service & Great Variety

I've been on the coffee subscription for several years now. The variety of coffees I have received is excellent. With a bit of tweaks to my taste preference, I have found my favourite type of coffee! Each month, I receive beans originating from all over the world. The customer service at Gustatory is excellent. Most notably, Michael recently saved the day after I had some delivery issues. Gustatory offer a tailored and personalised experience. I have recommended them to friends and will continue to do so.

Ordered a light roast subscription

Ordered a light roast subscription – all four bags were dark roasts despite being described as light in the notes – I wasn't sent the wrong subscription, the issue was entirely with the quality of the coffees.

If you're a lover of delicate, light and fruity coffees, avoid Gustatory. If you're keen on darker roasts, the customer service and delivery times were all good – someone with different tastes to me might have been much happier with what I got.

Hi Natty, thanks for leaving a review.

As this isn't something we hear, hopefully the below will help clarify. From our understanding you like light roasted delicate coffees, and whilst all our roasters we feature are always light roasters only, we also import up to 35 coffees a month to match everyone's choices of subscriptions and personal preferences. Across this breadth of coffees are differing levels of quality, and each are allocated to any subscriber's choice of subscription. On checking your choice of subscription as one of our mid-range price point options, namely Single / Light, we do offer 3 subscription choices that each feature higher scoring coffees and at a guess it sounds like any of these subscriptions may have been more suitable for the level of coffee quality expecting.

I can see that we previously sent the following within your Single/Light:

- TOMA - Gilbas, Indonesia (Natural) - Pineapple, Blueberries, Black Tea, Mint - (85/100 scoring)
- Father Carpenter - Danissa, Ethiopia (Natural) - Lime, Bergamot, Mango - (87/100 scoring)
- Miche - Refisa, Ethiopia (Washed) - Apricot, Floral, Delicate - (84/100 scoring)
- FREE: 17 Grams - Yukro, Ethiopia (Washed) - Oolong Tea, Orange, Caramel - (84/100 scoring) - this bag was the warm welcome freebie and isn't part of your Single / Light subscription

And using Plus87 as an example comparison, we'd have alternatively provided in the same months:

- Tim Wendelboe - Tatmara, Ethiopia (Natural) - Floral, Tropical Fruits, Strawberries - (89/100 scoring) OR NOMAD - Gahahe, Burundi (Washed) - Floral, Mandarin, Pineapple - (88/100 scoring)
- The Barn - Volcan Azul, Costa Rica (Natural) - Fig, Blueberry - (88/100 scoring) OR Uncommon - Suke Quto, Ethiopia (Natural) - Fruity, Strawberry, Blueberry, Kiwi - (88/100 scoring)
- Manhattan - Shoondhisa, Ethiopia (Natural) - Berry compote, White sugar, Strawberry juice - (89/100 scoring) OR Mabo - Shakisso, Ethiopia (Natural) - Orange, Apricot, Earl Gray - (88/100 scoring)

We hope the above clarifies. If any of our higher pricepoint subscriptions were of interest, for example our Plus87, coffees from our light roasters DAK and Fuglen are primarily featuring in such a subscription choice this month.

GUSTATORY delivers an impressive coffee…

GUSTATORY delivers an impressive coffee subscription experience! The variety of beans is superb, offering global selections and unique flavours. The customer service team is quick, responsive, and personal, adding extra value. While the website could use a redesign, the quality of coffee remains outstanding, making it totally worth it. Highly recommend the 87+ subscription option!

The best coffee subscription

The best coffee subscription in the market. The variety is incredible, you truly get to try different coffee notes.

I'm someone who gets bored with the same product easily and already tried everything that's on grocery shelves. Thought to try a subscription as I really wanted something new and different and I wasn't disappointed.

I loved every single bag so far.

Superb subscription

Superb subscription. The range of choices is fabulous. The monthly subscription allows for a never ending variety of great tasting coffee.
The hot chocolate they sell is pretty dammed good too!

Hey Patrick,

Glad to hear of the hot chocolate getting a mention. Our Pantry is relatively new, but glad to see it being well received.

Hope you enjoy your next deliveries, and all those after!
