There is no fee to join Texas Coffee Club. You only pay for coffees you purchase. And there is no requirement that you actually buy any coffee. When you do buy coffee you're not going to be paying an inflated price. We work with the roasters to ensure that if you buy through Texas Coffee Club or directly from them, you are going to pay the same price. If you want to join just so you can become more knowledgeable about Texas roasters and learn about coffee, that's cool with us. We're Texans. We love company.
