Pour coffee or drip coffee? What do you prefer? Initially, I was a lover of instant coffee as they are very convenient to make. But as I tasted the coffee from a freshly ground coffee, my perception towards coffee completely changed. I keep both coffee beans and coffee grounds.
I was very delighted to hear that Atlas coffee club offers both coffee beans and grounds. I ordered two bags of Indian coffee. The coffee beans are sourced from Tamil Nadu. In my subscription plan, I choose all types of roast to receive various types of coffee flavors in future packages.
The coffee came in a nicely packed box. However, the coffee bags do not have zip locks to keep the air out. They do add ziplock or vacuum seal because the coffee beans are freshly roasted which will give a long-lasting flavor until you finish your pack. Though I have kept the bag in a sealed container and stored it in a dark place.
The package came with
- 2 bags of coffee.
- a postcard with the picture of the country of origin of coffee.
- A manual with the tasting notes and tips of the coffee.
Among all the beverages, I regularly drink tea and coffee. I avoid carbonated drinks as they contain sugar. When I was ordering my coffee they were providing the coffee brown and produced in India. I never had an Indian coffee before.
The coffee beans are grown in Yercaud at an altitude of 1300 to 1600meters. They are fully washed and medium roasted. In the brewing tips card, they said it is best to pour-over coffee. I did not have Chemex but I managed with filter paper and a mug.
I folded the filter paper in a funnel shape, added some coffee grounds, and poured hot water from time to time. The aroma is not too light or too intense. It took a lot of time to pour over the coffee. As I got the coffee, I took a sip. It had a light sweet taste. In the card, it was mentioned they have tasting notes of marzipan, milk chocolate, and raisin.
I enjoyed this cup of coffee from the Atlas coffee club and eagerly waiting for the next batch of coffee.

What flavors to expect in Atlas coffee club?
Coffee addicts are very aware of the flavors of coffee. Those who are obsessed with coffee prefer to drink freshly grounded and brewed coffee. Coffee gives the actual flavor when prepared in a pour-over or drip process. Instant coffee sachets are less time-consuming than the other two processes.
The mission of Atlas coffee club is to give access to the world's numerous coffee flavors to coffee enthusiasts. They find the coffee from every corner of the world and deliver a new flavor to their subscribed customers every month. Previously, they have delivered coffee from Honduras, Costa Rica, Brazil, and many more. The coffees are named under the country they belong to. Each of them has a unique tasting profile that never bores you from drinking the same type of coffee.
The Costa Rica coffee beans are collected from the Palmares region. It is sun-dried and has a milk chocolaty flavor.
Brazil is known for producing a major amount of coffee in the world. Collected from the Mantiqueira de Minas, coffee beans are naturally processed to keep the flavors intact. The coffee has light flavors of chocolate, vanilla, and coconut.
For fruity flavor, coffee from Ethiopia can be the best option. It has flavors of raspberry, blueberry and is processed naturally.
The coffee from Papua New Guinea is more acidic with slight fruity flavors. Collecting from western highlands, they are washed to further process it.
The Colombian coffee is fully washed properly after they are handpicked. After washing they are sun-dried to prepare for packaging.
Indonesia widely cultivated coffee and its process of processing is different from the others. The coffee beans are processed by wet hulling where dry skin around the bean is extracted by hulling. The coffee has a rich chocolaty flavor with some hints of bell pepper.
For intense flavor from coffee, Peru is extensively recognized. It has tasting flavors of toffee and chocolate and is washed for processing.
Kenya has rich volcanic soil that provides nutrition to cultivate coffee. They take coffee cultivation very seriously and produce coffee with fruity, citrusy flavored notes.
Guatemala has the best climatic conditions to grow coffee. Their coffee has a chocolate taste with fruity flavors. The coffee beans are washed to process before packaging.
The coffee from Honduras also has a dark flavor. To have them prepared for packaging, the coffee beans are fully washed and sun-dried in the sun which gives an intense roasting flavor.
Choose your subscription plan
To order, you need to select the number of packets, the frequency of the delivery, level of roasting of the beans, and grind type. They have light to medium, medium to dark, and all roast types. If you select, light to medium roast, you will always get coffee with this flavor. I selected all types of roast so that I can get variations in my coffee flavors.
Quantity of coffee in each pack
Coffee comes in bags of two different sizes. The smallest bags contain 6 ounces of coffee which serve 15 cups of coffee. Another bag occupies 12 ounces that brew 30 cups of coffee. The other packages like double bags, three bags, and four bags are made by giving 2, 3, and 4 bags of 12 ounces coffee.
Beans or grounds
You can either order whole bean or ground coffee. Coffee addicts love to control the flavors of their coffee and they prefer whole beans which they will freshly grind to make coffee. If you don't have time for grinding, you can opt for coffee grounds.
The coffee beans have a dry texture which is different from the store-bought coffee beans. They claim that the beans are supposed to be dry as they are freshly processed.
