What’s the difference between a recurring subscription and a gift subscription?
Recurring Subscription (Subscribe & Save):
You receive coffee on a regular schedule (e.g. monthly, fortnightly).
Payment is charged automatically before each delivery.
You manage, pause, skip, or cancel your subscription after a minimum of three consecutive orders.
You get a 10% discount and free shipping in Ireland.
Gift Subscription:
You pay upfront for a set period (3, 6, or 12 months).
The recipient receives coffee each month for the chosen duration.
No ongoing charges or renewals-ends automatically.
Perfect for gifting; recipient doesn’t need to manage payments.
