DOSE Coffee

The brief

A specialty coffee roaster operating across European markets needed a redesign that could carry origin storytelling without losing the buyer to a wall of text, and a subscription flow that felt like a ritual rather than a contract.

What we did

• Homepage and PDP redesign focused on origin storytelling — the producer, the farm, the process — surfaced as visual blocks rather than long copy.
• Subscription flow rebuilt around frequency choice, pause/swap self-serve, and mid-month add-ons that don’t require contacting support.
• Checkout configured for tax-inclusive presentation across EU markets, with shipping clarity on the PDP rather than at checkout.
• Brand alignment between the storefront, packaging, and subscription emails — one visual language across every touch point.

Key decisions

• Subscription pause was made one click from the account page, not three. We argued that easy pause increases lifetime value rather than decreasing it — and treated the data as proof rather than something to fight.
• Origin pages were built as standalone storytelling pages linked from PDPs, not crammed into PDP accordions.
