Never hold an empty bag at 6:45am again.
6:45am. Grinder ready. Kettle hot. Empty bag.
This is avoidable.
Do the Math First
The specialty standard is roughly 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 oz of water. Most people brew 8 to 12 oz cups. Here’s what that actually means for your pantry:
| Who’s Brewing | Daily Usage | 12 oz bag lasts | 1 lb bag lasts | 5 lb bag lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solo, 1 cup/day | 11g | 31 days | 41 days | 207 days |
| Solo, 2 cups/day | 22g | 15 days | 21 days | 103 days |
| 2 people, 2 cups each | 44g | 8 days | 10 days | 51 days |
| 2 people, 3 cups each | 66g | 5 days | 7 days | 34 days |
| Office (5 people avg) | 110g | 3 days | 4 days | 21 days |
The mistake isn’t taste. It’s arithmetic.
Why the Subscription Solves Two Problems at Once
Problem one: running out. Problem two: buying too much at once and losing freshness before you can drink it. A well-matched subscription eliminates both simultaneously.
Coffee is best within 7 to 21 days of roasting. A 5-lb bag sitting in your pantry for 3 months is not the same coffee it was on day 10. The subscription model sends you the right amount on a schedule timed to your usage, which means each bag arrives in that prime window.

Which Subscription Is Right for You
Blend Shuffle
- A different Stumptown blend ships every two weeks. You don’t pick it.
- Curated exploration on autopilot
- Has its own fan base: customers describe opening the box as a genuine excitement event
- At the 2-week cadence, a couple burning through a bag in 10 to 15 days will always have fresh coffee on deck
- The blend that generates the most excitement when it shows up: Hundred Mile

Roaster’s Pick
- A different single-origin every month, no blends, chosen by the sourcing team
- Ideal for people who want to understand what origin actually contributes to flavor
- The 4-week cadence fits a solo drinker or a light-usage household
- If you drink more than 2 cups a day, pair with a standing order of your favorite blend
Match Your Household to the Right Setup
| Your Profile | Best Subscription | Bag Size |
|---|---|---|
| Solo, 1 to 2 cups/day | Roaster’s Pick (4-week) | 12 oz or 1 lb |
| Couple, 2 to 3 cups each | Blend Shuffle (2-week) | 1 lb |
| Heavy household or family | Blend Shuffle (2-week) + standing order | 1 lb or 5 lb |
| Explorer or gift-giver | Roaster’s Pick (4-week) | 12 oz |
| Loyal to one blend | Standing subscription on your blend | Match to table above |
A Note on Echo Canyon Half-Caff
Echo Canyon Half-Caff is one of the most-requested subscription additions in Stumptown’s entire review catalog. Multiple reviewers have asked, some pretty urgently, for it to be made subscription-eligible. It solves a specific problem: people who were manually mixing full-caff and decaf bags no longer need to.
