Why did 5 lb coffee prices change?Updated an hour ago
You may have noticed a change in the pricing of our 5 lb bags starting in October 2026.
We know this is a meaningful change, especially for those of you who regularly buy coffee in 5 lb bags. We also know that no one likes to see the price of something they love go up, and we didn’t make this decision lightly.
Our costs have increased across the board — from green coffee and packaging to roasting, labor and shipping. We recently took a close look at what it actually costs us to produce and get our 5 lb bags to you, and we realized our previous pricing was no longer sustainable.
Our new pricing is:
- Medium & Dark Roasts: $99 per 5 lb bag
- Light Roasts: $118 per 5 lb bag
- Free domestic U.S. shipping is included.
We’ve tried to find a balance that lets us keep doing the things that matter to us: buying great coffee, paying producers fairly, roasting it with care and making Driftaway as accessible as we can.
And even with the new pricing, we believe our 5 lb coffees remain competitively priced for the quality of the coffee and the care that goes into sourcing, roasting and getting it to you.
If you regularly order 5 lb bags, our subscriptions are another way to save:
- Pay-per-shipment subscriptions: 15% off single-bag prices — $84.15 for a 5 lb Medium & Dark Roast or $100.30 for a 5 lb Light Roast. You can adjust your delivery frequency whenever you need to.
- Prepaid subscriptions: up to 10% off pay-per-shipment prices — bringing the per-shipment price down to $75.74 for Medium & Dark and $90.27 for Light Roast on a 12-month plan.

We’re really grateful you choose to buy your coffee from us, especially when you’re trusting us with enough coffee to fill a 5 lb bag. Your support allows us to keep working directly with producers, investing in better coffee and building Driftaway the way we believe it should be built.
Thank you for being here, and for supporting Driftaway and the producers we work with.
