A subscription to Equator Coffees
In the first wave of coffee, most folks weren’t picky—instant coffee, canned grocery store blends and diner brews were all part of the norm. The late 1960s marked the second wave, bringing a shift towards artisanal sources and unique blends that celebrated coffee origins.
Today, third-wave coffee takes it further, embracing “specialty coffee” with a commitment to quality and craftsmanship, elevating the brew from a quick caffeine fix to an art form.
The third-wave is alive and well in Marin thanks to local purveyors Equators Coffees, an LGBTQ-owned coffee company locally founded in 1995.
Lauded as the “Best coffee subscription of the year” by Rolling Stone, Equator Coffees Subscriptions encourages coffee lovers to find a favorite from a bounty of high-quality and sustainably sourced coffees expertly roasted by their team and—simply put—deliver them to your giftee’s door. Your order will be roasted fresh to order and shipped as soon as you sign up.
For your resident espresso drinker, consider one of Equator’s 13 espresso options, available in a $17.50 bag subscription. For all other brewing methods, select from a single-origin or a blend curation, chosen by the fine folks at Equator each week or month, depending on the subscription. To paraphrase a first-wave slogan: It’s good to the last bean.
