Tonx Coffee Makes Me Feel Fancy (Even In Sweatpants).

My coffee addiction/routine has evolved over the years. It began when my parents would fix me a Keely Half n’ Half- part hazelnut, part cocoa- in the early mornings at our family’s restaurant. Which was really all an ambitious 13 year-old would need to wash the heck out of those dishes at 6am. In college, my roommates and I would use a fancy French press…and then leave it on the kitchen counter for the rest of the day. (Wouldn't stop us from swilling it five hours later, however.) And these days, I pride myself on being picky about my coffee- and acknowledge my standards as I mash my sleep-deprived face onto my coffee maker until it delivers the goods.

First cup of the day, with friend.

The fine people at Tonx Coffee have found a way to up my game (shocking, I know), by sending really great coffee blends right to my [tired] door. And it’s roasted immediately before their lightning-fast shipping, making me feel kinda like a rockstar. Tonx offers an ever-changing lineup of seasonal, interesting coffees sourced worldwide from folks who invest in the long-term futures of their crops and communities. They don’t do wholesale. There aren't any plans in the works for Tonx coffeeshops. Basically, if you want in on these stellar small batch coffees, ordering from their [super easy] subscription plan is the only way to play.

Their site is cool because it lets you choose your plan, amend as needed, and even take a hassle-free break if that’s what floats your over-caffeinated boat. You can even give subscriptions as gifts! Hint! Hint!

This week’s beans are from Ecuador and are called Quilanga De Loja- listen, you guys, I don’t have to say it- but I can wholly attest to the fact that it makes a ridiculously tasty brew. There’s definitely some cocoa action up in that joint, as well as something kinda nutty. (Pretty sure I just described myself as well.) It smells wicked good (not describing myself any longer) and does the job of making me feel cool about what I’m drinking.

No, really, make yourself comfy.

Because seriously, it’s not a crime to want awesome coffee. As the Tonx fellas so fabulously put it: “calling someone a coffee snob for wanting a good cup is like calling someone a laundry snob for wanting to wear clean socks.”

I’m stoked (and buzzing) to let you guys know about Tonx’s free trial to get some freshly roasted beans delivered to your [tired] door! Go sign up and see how easy and seriously non-scary a process it is. Full disclaimer: They are gonna ask for your credit card info and you will have to cancel your free trial if you’re not over the moon about their java. But they’ll send emailed reminders and will be wicked nice about it. Besides, they’re fairly positive you’ll love your new coffee.

I am seriously never alone.

Try it and lemme know how much you love it! I’ll be right here. Holding my mug.

And not blinking.

The Tonx team is made up of experts with years of experience from seed to cup. They know that home-brewed coffee can be just as good as your favorite cafe. It’s not as hard as baristas make it out to be – but it all starts with fresh beans, which you can’t get if you buy bags of beans from grocery stores. Pre-ground coffee is even worse. Great coffee actually has very little to do with fancy gadgets and expensive gizmos. The best part? Your Tonx Coffee subscription is very easy to manage, and they have great customer service because we appreciate every customer. They will always be transparent with how your subscription is being managed, and it’s very easy to pause, cancel, or adjust your quantity for your needs. If you ever need tips or advice on how to get the most out of your coffee, they are always available to chat.
