When is your “me time”? Are you a wake-up-an-hour-early-to-sit-quietly-with-your coffee-before-the-kids-are-up kind of person? Some of us struggle to make time for a meaningful “cuppa”, but it’s probably worth the slower meaningful pace before the day’s relentless hum and buzz descends.

The explosion of demand for delivery services these last two years has helped me make more time for rituals enjoyed at an unhurried pace. With the time Instacart and DashPass deliveries save me, I find myself cutting my own hair, swapping multi-blade razors for straight razors, and grinding coffee beans for a fresher brew in the morning.

If I can have groceries and lunches delivered to my door, why not ready-to-roast coffee beans? Our neighbors to the north - Young Buck Coffee Roasters* delivers the goods in this department! The roastery was founded in 2018 by Ryan Fletcher in Jacksonville. “I wanted to create the coffee roasting business I would want to buy from,” Ryan explains. His customer-centric attention to detail means that coffee is delivered the day after it’s roasted. This urgent turn around time sets Young Buck apart in a compelling way. Ryan’s regular interactions with customers during the Riverside Arts Market is another factor that contributes to an objectively superior coffee experience. Young Buck launched a rotating subscription to further expose northeast Florida to their varied brew selection. This week, I’m cycling through their Uganda, El Salvador, and Tanzania blends. The Uganda’s sweet warm notes of dark chocolate, cane sugar and blackberry have been coming to my rescue.

Young Buck’s subscription plans* offer full customization of frequency, quantity, and roast selection. Deliveries can be set between one and four weeks with 12oz or 5lb bag sizes. If you’re going to travel during a scheduled shipment, you can easily pause or adjust quantities as needed. The best part is that new subscribers will save 50% on first time orders!

If these uncertain times have taught us anything, it’s probably that concierge style delivery services are here to stay. With coffee culture so steeped in our daily routines, we might as well add java deliveries to our already growing mix of conveniences.

Drop me a note with your favorite Young Buck blend(s)!
