Build your free coffee subscription.

Every $500 brings you a bag a month. You never pay for coffee, and your money comes back at the end of the term.

The co-op can't accept money yet — this joins a waiting list. No payment, no card.

Three things to know first

  • Getting your money back takes notice. It's inside a machine on a one-year term. 90 days' notice, and if too many people leave at once you go in a queue.
  • It isn't guaranteed. Stations can default. A reserve absorbs the first losses; beyond that, your capital is at risk.
  • This is a hackathon build. The co-op isn't incorporated, no station has signed anything, and no coffee exists yet. Everything that could go wrong.
