NEWS, UPDATES, AND ANNOUNCEMENTS – 02.20.26

Coffee Subscription Pilot Program Is Now Live – The time has come for the launch of The VU Coffee Subscription Pilot Program. A few notes on the outset:

– Coffee will be pick-up only to start. Delivery within a certain radius of the shop will likely be the next step, with normal shipping following at some point.
– If you’re already an active media subscriber, there’s no need for a sign-up process since your billing information is already on file.
– If you’re not an active media subscriber, signing up in person (which will only take a minute) is required (although you can leave with coffee at the same time if you wish). Please have a card to put on file for recurring payments when you sign up.
– A discount of 10% will be applied to all beans purchased via subscription, and your beans will be roasted no more than two days prior to pick-up date unless otherwise requested.
– Subscriptions include 12 oz and 2 lb bag sizes, multiple frequency choices (weekly, biweekly, or monthly), whole bean and/or ground coffee options, and access to all of our coffee varietal and roast profile offerings.
– Cancel or pause at any time prior to your renewal, though your information will stay on file should you choose to restart in the future.

That’s basically it. Choose your beans, your frequency and pick-up dates, whole bean vs. ground, and you’re good to go. And, of course, please let us know if you have any questions.

Oscar Ballot Contest Now Underway – It is officially that time of year again: The VU Annual Oscar Ballot Contest has officially begun. Things are, however, a little different this year. If you’re an active media subscriber, please swing by the shop anytime to grab your ballots and get all the details about this year’s contest. NOTE: A few people were already passed mildly erroneous ballots earlier this week. If you noticed what amounts to a … truncation … of the ballots you received, please come back for a replacement. Apologies.

March Screening Schedule Now Available – An intense but highly-rewarding February member screening schedule will give way to much more of a mixed bag in March. There will still be, of course, some level of intensity, though. Active media subscribers should feel free to swing by the shop or drop us a line anytime to get the full slate.
