AfricaBlack Coffee Subscription
Freshly roasted coffee, delivered on your schedule. You choose the coffee, the size, the grind and how often it arrives. Change it, pause it or cancel it whenever you need to.
How it works
- Choose your coffee under "roasted coffee"
- Choose your size: 250, 1kg or 35g
- Choose whole beans or ground, and your grind
- Choose how many units you want
- Choose how often: weekly, every two weeks, monthly
- Check out. Your details create your profile and your first order is charged and dispatched
Your next order is charged automatically at the interval you chose, counted from the day you signed up.
You do not have to wait for the first of the month. This is delivered on your schedule.
What sizes can I order?
- 250 and 1kg bags: whole beans, or ground for plunger, filter or espresso
- 35g bags: ground for plunger only
How much coffee should I order?
It's not a perfect science. This depends on your brewing method and personal taste.
Our in-house guidelines are 10g of coffee per 180g of water. Adjust to taste. If you like a stronger coffee, you will get fewer cups per pack.
- A 250g bag makes about 25 cups (less than 1 cup per day for a month)
- A 1kg bag makes about 100 cups (about 3 cups of coffee per day for a month)
Delivery and billing
- Your card is charged when you sign up, then at each interval after that
- Orders are dispatched within 3 working days of being charged, usually sooner
- Delivery is free on orders of R800 and more. Below R800, the delivery fee is calculated at checkout
- We deliver nationwide within South Africa. Delivery times depend on the courier
