Here are some real life success stories of starting a Coffee Subscription Box:
1. Fernweh ($36K/year)
Courtney Todd (from Tauranga, New Zealand) started Fernweh about 5 years ago.
Hello, my name is Courtney and I’m the founder of Fernweh. I started around three years ago as a side hustle that I’m slowly trying to turn into full time.
When I first started this company I thought it was a good idea, however, it was a lot of work in the beginning with getting the roasters on board as it was a unique concept and then selling to the customers took work as it needed more explaining than I had originally thought. We now have our website and business in a place where it ticks over and runs smoothly. I’m thankful for the beginning as there were lots to learn.
2. Blue Coffee Box ($780K/year)
Jon Butt (from Canterbury, UK) started Blue Coffee Box over 5 years ago.
My name is Jon Butt and, with my son, Harvey, we own Blue Coffee Box in the UK.
Right now, we generate around $14,000 a month and it increases month on month, no matter what marketing we do.
