I've been subscribed to Driftaway since they were first on PH. I haven't installed the app yet. Not sure I will, always happy with what they send me. 😃.

I've been subscribed to Driftaway for months - I've been consistently pleased with the high quality and freshness of their beans, and I've also learned a lot about coffee along the way (I even bought a fancy grinder! So adult!) I recently got to play around with their new app which aims to help you discover more things to love about coffee :) @mscccc can attest to the coffee quality :)

@stttories thanks Tori!

I also would like to state that Driftaway's beans make a mean cold brew. (Thanks, Suyog!)

The sign up process reminds me of MistoBox. The app itself feels kind of beta -- where the intro full screen photos of coffee personalities clashes with the next onboarding flow, followed up with an embedded browser-based sign up flow. So, parts of the design are nice, but the execution (of the app) left something to be desired. I am curious about the beans, but it wasn't clear from that web-based sign up flow how to get the 4-bag sampler. Do I have to subscribe to a regular shipment just to try it out?

@chrismessina Hi Chris - thanks for checking it out and for the feedback! It's definitely version 1 - we chose to focus on the new customer experience after we realized that the most eye-opening and exciting experience for people was the exploration of the initial coffee tasting kit that comes with every new Driftaway subscription plan. You do have to sign up for a plan to try out the kit and get the best app experience - check it out and you can pause or cancel if it's not for you :)

@chrismessina Affiliate link in a Product Hunt comment? Is that really part of the community we want to build here?

@peterjthomson edited. I was on my phone and didn't want to get the URL wrong, so I used a link that I knew would work!

@suyogmody got it — I think that could be made more clear during on-boarding! Also, where do you source your beans from?

@chrismessina We're sourcing from importers that have direct relationships in origin countries all over the world. Some examples are Ben from https://twitter.com/goldmtncoffee and Taylor & team from https://twitter.com/croptocup.

Driftaway has been great to us at Placemeter. We're coffee snobs and we've been enjoying their recommendations since January. They were even nice enough to drop by and run a tasting session.

Been using Driftaway for our office for years. Really great quality beans and they always answer our emails!
