A Monthly Coffee Subscription Makes a Great Gift
A coffee of the month membership is a great gift for your family, friends, or even yourself. Each month the recipient will get a tangible reminder of your love and affection. For a coffee drinker there’s nothing better than the gift of a new and fabulous coffee. 
Whether beans or ground, loose or pods, large or small packets, a monthly subscription is a real treat.
Give Some of the Best Beans in the World
A monthly subscription will bring sample of the best roasts from all over the globe. Real coffee fans will appreciate the subtleties of the best coffee from the prime growing regions around the world. Each month will bring a new coffee from far off places. Most likely the coffee will be accompanied by a detailed description of its origins and suggestions for brewing. Some clubs even include a monthly newsletter that gives an insiders view of the coffee roasting and blending world.
Which Subscription Is Best For You
Decisions, Decisions! Sometimes it seems that there are as many monthly coffee subscriptions as there are subscribers. Whether you are buying a subscription for yourself or as a gift you will need to
consider your choice carefully. There are lots of options available: beans or ground, place of origin, blend or not, weight and, of course, price.
If you are buying a subscription for yourself, I recommend picking one that offers the widest variety but fairly small quantity. It’s a bonus if the supplier offers a discount on subsequent orders.
If you have a favorite brand, then you may save money if you set up a subscription. That way you will never run short.
There are many small coffee roasters that offer monthly subscriptions on the internet. I would suggest trying their house blend first. Many merchants offer samples for free or a reduced price.
Don’t buy a subscription just to get a freebie. Remember the old music and book clubs that you joined because it seemed like such a good deal. Later the subscription was an albatross you couldn’t get rid of until it ran it’s course. Make sure that the subscription is really a good deal before you subscribe.
If you have a subscription and get a package that doesn’t appeal to you, don’t open it. Save it to use a spur-of-the-moment gift that everyone needs from time to time. As a last resort you can use it as a stocking stuffer at Christmas.
Which Subscription Is Best For Gifts
When you are buying a subscription as a gift, go with one you have tried or one that is highly recommended on coffee forums or Amazon.
Don’t go for the largest possible package. It’s much more fun to get small private stash to use for special occasions.
Don’t buy the wrong type of coffee. If you are not sure if the recipient is into grinding their beans or using single serve pods, take the middle road and opt for ready to serve in drip coffee machines blends.
Why not try a monthly coffee subscription, you won’t regret if you follow these suggestions.
