Driftaway Coffee

About:
Driftaway, created in 2014, is a Brooklyn based roaster catering to those who want more than just a fresh cup of coffee. This subscription caters to those looking to develop their palette and further educate themselves on coffee. Their story starts with a simple wedding gift, an espresso machine and grinder.
Their new wedding gifts led Anu and Suyog to experiment with various coffee drinks such as cortados and cappuccinos. While becoming more educated on coffee, they became more particular about the type of beans they consumed as well as its roast date. Finally, after moving back to Brooklyn and not finding many fresh quality coffee suppliers, they decided to start their own business.

How it works:
Prior to starting your subscription, you are sent a tasting kit. The kit contains 4 different profile flavors including fruity, classic, balanced and bold. After reviewing your coffees, you can then personalize and select your shipment based on which flavor profile you desire. All coffees are single origin. You have many options including their Solo, Doppio, 1 or 2 lb. bag. Choose between weekly, bi-weekly and monthly shipments with the ability to pay per order or opt for 6-month pre-pay.

Highlight:
The Farmer Feedback Program, launched in 2017, is an excellent program allowing you to provide feedback directly to the farmers. Rate your coffees via the website or app and all ratings and reviews are shared with the farmer in a report. This allows the farmers to not just receive feedback from the roasters but coffee lovers around the world like me and you.

The verdict:
We were highly impressed with all 4 coffees in our tasting kit as well as our 1st doppio shipment. Our doppio shipment, from Columbia, had bold tasting notes of dark chocolate, cherry and lemongrass. This coffee received 5 stars from us. It had a smooth finish and paired well with just about anything. We strongly recommend sticking to the Doppio if you are an avid coffee drinker or like us and go through a bag in just a few days.
