Our take
Bringing coffee into the modern age, Above Ground is a premium coffee subscription service that offers a monthly batch of international blends. Each month, a new coffee batch is sent to subscribers, with past batches coming from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Rwanda and Colombia. In short, coffee-lovers get to try the blends of a new independent roaster each month, whilst the coffee makers benefit from heightened brand awareness.
It’s a novel idea that could build new communities around coffee. Founded by Duolingo co-founder Severin Hacker, Above Ground’s branding is distinctive and trendy, feeling well-placed as a New York start-up. Here’s to hoping the subscription service continues to grow and, in turn, elevate the brand awareness of independent coffee makers the world over.
