A Coffee Club membership might be great to explore gourmet coffees, or as a gift idea for the coffee lover on your list.
Some information about coffee clubs
Coffee clubs bring gourmet coffee delivered fresh to you and they have some advantages. There are some great home delivery clubs available when you know what to look for, and I'll tell you bit more about how they work.
First, you will sign up (or sign up your friend or family member as a gift). Most coffee clubs include some sort of bonus when you sign up. Find one that has options you'll enjoy. You will choose the coffees you want, tell them how often to deliver, and get the coffee through an automatic charge on your credit card. Then wait for the coffees to be delivered to your door, for you to brew in your favorite coffee maker.
If you're not sure whether you'll use all of the coffee each month, you should look for a club that allows you to change how often deliveries are made. Not everyone drinks the same amount of coffee, and a monthly delivery might be too frequent for you.
You should also be able to change the coffees you want. Your tastes may change, or you may decide that you're tired of the particular coffees you're to receive and want to try something different next month. Be sure you know how you can cancel your membership, and any minimum length of membership.
Choosing the Right Coffee Club
The right coffee membership club is one that has the coffees you want, and the price should fit your budget. Look for a club that offers a broad selection of quality gourmet coffees. Then look at the terms, to make sure that you understand what you're signing up for, and how you can stop the club if you want to do so.
Here are several home coffee membership clubs that you may want to consider.
The Green Mountain Coffee Cafe EXPRESS Coffee Membership Club
Green Mountain Coffee offers their Cafe Express Club. With Green Mountain, you can be assured of a great selection of coffees (including organic and fair trade) as whole beans, ground coffee or in K-Cups for the Keurig brewers.
Peet's Coffee & Tea Peetniks
Peet's is where gourmet coffee brewing started in the USA. Although more people know about Starbucks than Peet's, Starbucks owes its start in large part to Albert Peet, the immigrant from Amsterdam who decided that coffee in America had a lot of room for improvement and did something about it. Peet's built its reputation on roasting quality coffees, especially darker roasts. The Peetniks Club, which is what they call the Peet's membership club, offers you coffee roasted and shipped on the day of your choosing.
Community Coffee
Rivaling Peet's as the other originator of gourmet coffee in the U.S., Community Coffee has been brewing a rich coffee known as the taste of the south. Community Coffee is now the largest family-owned retail coffee brand in the U.S.
Buying Community Coffee online is the best way to enjoy this distinctively rich coffee unless you live in or visit Louisiana. The Saurage family has been brewing this coffee since 1919, and they apply their generations of roasting experience to produce full-bodied yet smooth flavor.
