A month's six 60-gram bags from six different roasters

A few of the roasters we’ve featured

A single 60-gram bag of coffee

Smaller bags, bigger discoveries

Sixty grams is about 3–5 cups — enough to really get to know a coffee, small enough that trying something new feels easy instead of risky. Instead of one big bag you commit to, you get six chances to add color to your rotation.

Curated so every cup is worth experiencing

Every coffee in your box earns its spot. We look for roasters we're excited about, uncommon varieties, unusual flavors, and experiences worth talking about — then we tell you exactly what makes each one special on a card in the box.

The 6-bag is for the deeply curious — chasing the discovery of what coffee can be, with the complete month's lineup. The 4-bag is for anyone who wants to stay closer to their taste preferences while still dipping a toe past it.

The printed feature cards for a month's six coffees, fanned out

“On paper this coffee is not for me — I tend to dislike heavy intervention coffees, and carbonic maceration specifically. That said, it's just such a wonderful coffee, and a great example of why I'm such a fan of Bean Archives.”

“By the way I'll just shout out the Little Waves Sidra from the April box as the most interesting one in my opinion! Unique strong aroma, which carries over into the flavor as well. Anyway it's great to have a chance to experience a lot of coffee varieties, processing methods and roasters.”

Dialed in, from the first brew

Ever chase a coffee's flavor notes but can't quite get there? For us, that was the hardest part of drinking widely — finding the right recipe for each new coffee.

We dial in every coffee before we ship. Each comes with a tested recipe and brew tips on its card — follow it for a great cup on day one, or use it to fine-tune your own. Either way, you know what to do before your first dose.

“The curation and the brew guides take the searching out of it. The dial-ins have been spot on — so nice to just open the box and get to tasting.”

Want to go deeper? One special drop a month

Once a month we offer a small selection of add-on coffees — unusual picks, premium lots, and decaf options, many you can't easily buy in the US.

They come with the same simple brew guides as everything else, so even a single 15g dose of a super premium lot will be sure to deliver.

“Some of these coffees you can't even get in the US, shipping's free, and I just trust your curation.”

Matthias and Bryan, the founders of The Bean Archives

We almost didn't meet…

Bryan had just moved to Durham from Copenhagen — two weeks in. Matthias was one Zoom meeting away from skipping Regalia's East Coast tour at Yonder Coffee. Fate stepped in, the connection happened, and a bond over coffee formed fast.

What started as an Instagram archive of coffees we brewed and loved became a shared journey — one we wanted others to explore and discover with us.

That curiosity grew into The Bean Archives subscription. We were craving more variety than we could find — so we did what felt natural and started building it ourselves.

The Triangle Coffee Club helped validate and fuel the idea, with an eagerness to explore new flavors that often led to overflowing freezers, massive group orders, and an endless cycle of resealing smell-proof bags during repacks.
