Is the subscription a trap?
No. Skip, swap or cancel anytime, no fees, and we send a reminder email before every charge so nothing sneaks up on you. It's 15% off and free shipping for letting us plan our roasting, that's the whole deal.
Roast + sourcing
We buy direct from people we know, at prices we're proud of. Jess, a licensed Q Grader who chaired national coffee competitions, tastes and approves every component in this blend. Five Good Food Awards say the system works.
Brew it however you like
The Mystery Bag · Roaster's Pick is built to be forgiving. Drip machine, pour over, french press, espresso, it lands smooth in all of them. Pick your grind above and we'll grind it for your setup, or go whole bean and grind at home.
Shipping + freshness
We roast five days a week and ship your bag right after it's roasted, with the roast date printed on it. Coffee is best between days 3 and 14. Subscribers always ship free, and one-time orders ship free over $55.
The full story

The Mystery Bag · Roaster's Pick

One 80 gram bag of whatever our roasters are most excited about this week. You find out what it is when it lands. Won on the wheel, never sold, never revealed early.

The Mystery Bag - Roaster's Pick
The name, not just a claim

Proof you can check.

We buy direct from people we know. Carolina's family grows our Colombia Mina Rica in Antioquia and delivers it to the roastery themselves. Every bag we ship has the roast date printed on it, so you never have to guess how old your coffee is.

Fair questions.

Is it actually better, or just marketed better?
Judged, not self-declared. Square One has won five Good Food Awards, and every coffee is approved by a licensed Q Grader. If The Mystery Bag · Roaster's Pick isn't the smoothest cup you've had all year, tell us and we make it right.
I don't have fancy gear. Will it still be good?
Yes. The Mystery Bag · Roaster's Pick is built to be forgiving. A basic drip machine and the "Medium" grind option will get you a genuinely great cup. No scale, no gooseneck kettle, no homework.
Is the subscription a trap?
No. Skip, swap or cancel anytime, no fees, and we send a reminder email before every charge so nothing sneaks up on you. It's 15% off and free shipping for letting us plan our roasting, that's the whole deal.
When does it ship?
We roast five days a week and your bag is roasted to order, then shipped right after with the roast date printed on it. Subscribers always ship free. One-time orders ship free over $55.
What if I hate it?
Tell us. Enjoy it or we make it right, that's the promise. We'll swap it for something closer to your taste or sort out a refund. No interrogation.
