A startup launches next month that delivers grilled cheese straight to your door - and I got to try every flavor concoction

Cheese Posties

Here's what you get in your Cheese Posties box.

Cheese Posties is a London-based startup that claims to be the "world's first grilled cheese subscription." The company offers dozens of different combinations of gourmet cheese toasties - like mascarpone and biscuit butter, Gruyere and caramelized onion, goats cheese and pesto - to chomp on each week.

For £3.99 (around $6) a pop, Cheese Posties sends all the cheese, bread, condiments, and other ingredients to your door in a package that snugly fits through the letterbox. Inside each package is a surprise toastie - based on preferences you type in at your registration (whether you have any allergies, or prefer sweet to savory, for example.) All you need to do when your delivery arrives is butter the bread, pop your creation into the provided toastie bag, then cook it in your toaster.

Cheese Posties' Kickstarter campaign was supported by 308 backers, raising £3,809 ($5,862) - way over the company's original £2,000 ($3,077) crowdfunding target.

Cofounders Dave Rotheroe and Danny Jennings plan to send out the first Cheese Posties from their factory in Essex to customers anywhere in the UK next month. But before they could get the show on the road, they needed to test their cheesy concoctions out with volunteers.

I valiantly stepped forward to give them a hand.
