The store at Fabula Coffee markets low-acid, organic coffee, and the catalog goes beyond bags of beans into instant coffee, creamer, pods and tea. If you are comparing it with a regular grocery coffee aisle, the useful thing is a clear price list. Here is what the store's bestseller shelf shows, with prices as listed on the US site (they can change).
Ground and whole bean coffee
The coffee entry on the bestseller list is the Medium - 12oz bag at $29.99. A 12oz bag is a standard retail size, so that is the number to compare against other specialty roasters. The store also lists a dark roast in K-machine pod form.
Pods and instant options
- Pods for K-Machine, Dark — $47.99
- Organic Instant Coffee, Regular — $24.99
- Organic Instant Coffee, Decaf — $24.99
- Instant Latte with Adaptogens, 240g — $24.95
The regular and decaf instant coffees are priced identically, so choosing decaf does not cost extra. The pods are the priciest item in this group at $47.99, which is worth weighing against the bag if you own a brewer that takes either format.
Creamer and tea
The Creamer with Collagen, Caramel, 240g is listed at $24.99, and the Digestive Tea at $19.99, the lowest price on the shelf. Together with a 12oz bag, the bag, creamer and tea would add up to $74.97 at listed prices.
Which format fits how you drink coffee
The pricing makes the trade-offs fairly plain. A 12oz bag at $29.99 suits a drip or French press routine, the pods at $47.99 are for a single-serve machine, and the instant jars at $24.99 are the cheapest way to get a cup without any equipment. The Instant Latte with Adaptogens, 240g, at $24.95 is the only ready-to-stir latte on the shelf, so it is the one to look at if you want milk-style coffee without a creamer. Since sizes differ, compare per-cup cost only after checking the serving counts on each product page.
Free shipping threshold
The store runs a banner that counts down how much is left to reach free shipping, and it references $49. One bag on its own does not reach that figure, but a bag plus a $19.99 tea comes to $49.98. That is a simple way to check whether adding one more item is cheaper than paying for shipping, though you should confirm the threshold on the store at the time you order.
How to pay less
The offers we track for this store are mostly storewide percentage discounts of 20% or 25%, and they are not always available. The current list sits on our Fabula Coffee coupons page. Check that a discount applies to the specific items in your cart before you pay.
If you are pregnant, take medication or have a digestive or other health condition, check with your doctor before adding teas or products containing adaptogens to your routine.
