Here at Bluebird we roast our coffees to a light to medium roast degree. What this allows us to do is showcase the flavour nuance and integrity.
In the House Blend Subscription, the Friendly Blend is the more developed roast of the two, with the Dreamer showcasing a lighter modern espresso roast.
The Blue Bag program is an add-on to this subscription package for those who want to expand their tasting experience and receive a surprise coffee in their subscription every month.

We love hearing feedback on this, so we encourage our subscribers to share their tasting notes and favourite brew recipes that they developed over the month.

ZAAlways loved BlueBird
The three coffees in the curated subscription are great, absolutely great. Mostly been having them as an aeropress and have loved each coffee, the Kulambula has been my favourite.

ZAI'm home, bru (brew)
After three years of toying with the idea of speciality coffee being a legitimate thing, with attending cuppings, listening and absorbing as much information as possible from the well-trained and knowledgeable baristas, I eventually have delved into the world of home brewing by joining the subs program. Albeit I have a long way to go, I am enjoying the early stages of practicing, conversing and learning as I go along. Howick is my home, bru and I am glad that I can now home-brew. ;) Thanks for creating a space to enjoy and learn and appreciate all at the same time!

ZAGreat service and good coffee
I recently tried BlueBird’s coffee subscription. The staff are super helpful and accommodating. The specialty coffee was just great. Much much better than the generic ones you’d get from the grocery store. And use V60 or at least a plunge to get the best taste out of the coffee.
Subscriber feedback
A couple of our current subscribers were kind enough to leave feedback about the experience. Here’s what they had to say.
“Thanks for the awesome coffees this month, loved the Jaguara! You’ve kind of ruined Cape Town coffee for me; I now prefer what I make at home with Bluebird to what I can get at the majority of the coffee shops around town. Thanks and keep ‘em coming!”
– Matt J.
“After years of trying to make decent coffee at home, your magic beans have changed my life! Now, I don’t have to leave home or work to get a great cup – you’ve made it possible for a coffee-rookie to make a tasty coffee in his own kitchen! The packaging, the website, the coffee, it’s all just what this world needs.”
– Marc L.
“Timeous deliveries each month and absolutely delicious coffees which I love to share!”
– Andrew M.
“I love trying new coffees. And I love the variety from Bluebird!”
– Michael C.
