We tested some places that deliver bags of beans, for those times when you need coffee but don't wanna leave the spot to hit up the 85 Degrees or Starbucks or whatever for a coffee that really isn't that good anyway.

Now, we are not professional coffee tasters. This article does not dive into flavor notes and subtleties of roasting. We just wanted to see which places can reliably deliver bags of decent coffee to our office.

Finally, Alipay will make your life easier when doing online shopping, though it is not necessary for any of these shops. Here's .

Intro: This Latin American specialty coffee shop in Jing'an custom roasts and serves socially responsible direct–trade coffees from Bolivia and Yunnan. Their coffee is strong. If you're lucky, you can get a cup of their green coffee at the shop, where they also host community events, workshops, talks, and poetry readings. Nice people.

Ease Of Ordering: Originally we tried to order on with Alipay, but their site was broken at the time. So we gave them a call and they arranged a cash-on-delivery order for the next morning.

Price: 75rmb for 250grams.

Delivery fee: 5rmb when paying with cash on delivery, free when paying with Alipay.

Payment Methods: Cash on delivery and Alipay.

Coffee Quality: Excellent. Strong smell, good taste. Well packaged, with info about exactly where the coffee came from (Bolivia, in this case).



Delivery Time: This was the fastest. Despite having some problems with Alipay, they managed to get the coffee to us around 10am the next morning.

Intro: There's a host of coffee, local and imported, to pick from on Amazon.cn. We looked over some local brands and went with , which is roasted in a Beijing coffee factory. GEO stands for Green, Ecology, and Organic, and though there's no proof the beans are actually grown organically, they have been around since 2005 and are pretty popular online.

Ease Of Ordering: Create or log into your Amazon account. It just takes a few clicks to add your products to the cart and go to the payment page. You can also arrange to pick it up at your local Alldays, Kedi, or FamilyMart. Note: Amazon.com and Amazon.cn are seperate, so you'll need to make a new account for Amazon.cn.

Delivery fee: 5rmb for delivery within Shanghai.

Note: Different items have different payment options, because COD deliveries sometimes result in...people not being there when the delivery guy comes. You can pay for most with cash, though -- just look for a red tag that says "货到付款" next to the price. Those ones are good for the red money.

Coffee Quality: Well, this is more of a quantity over quality deal. You're paying about half the price for double the amount of beans, and you get what you pay for.



Delivery Time: Fast. Delivery took 24 hours.

Phone number: 400 810 5666 (but really, there's no need to call)

Intro: Yihaodian (YHD) is another major Chinese online retailer, but they specialize in fresh groceries and home goods. As a smaller, somewhat newer e-commerce site, they directly manage most of their warehousing and delivery, and are reliable and efficient.

Most of their beans are arabica, Columbian and Hawaiian.
