The word ‘club’ can be a confusing one, yet there’s absolutely nothing confusing about coffee clubs. You don’t need to to keep a slot free every week because you have your coffee delivered when it suits you and you alone. Meeting groups of new people? No! The only person you’ll have to meet when you join a coffee club is the mailman, and there’s a high chance you’ve met him before.

But what about the tangible benefits of a coffee club membership? We’re here to tell you (in five points) why these clubs are perfect for all coffee lovers, and why you’d be doing yourself a huge favor in signing up to one today….

1. Trying Something New
Coffee can be very hit and miss, which is why when we find one we like, we often stick to that brand, that variety, that flavor or all three. What we miss out on when we do that is a whole world of coffee, from various cultures and multiple countries where tastes vary hugely and the methods of roasting and cultivation make a real difference to the taste.

Why don’t you taste a chance and join a coffee club today? The worst that can happen is that you receive some coffee you don’t like. At least you’ve found out you don’t like that particular variety and can avoid it in future. Simply send it back and get your full refund.

…but what about the very BEST that could come out of a coffee membership? There are thousands of people across the world today who have discovered tastes they never knew they had, and penchants for certain areas of the world they’d never considered before. Who says your enjoyment of a certain type of coffee has to stop at coffee? If you love the taste of Hawaiian beans, grown in the rich volcanic soils of the mountains, then you might enjoy their wines too, or perhaps the chocolate that grows in that part of the world.

Consider that if you aren’t introduced through mail directly to your door, then you may never know about the delights that wait in store for you at just $20 or $30 for a 6 month membership.

2. Convenience
Many of us will have been exposed to coffee through our need and constant search for convenience. We’re up early with not enough sleep and need something to keep us awake. The tastiest and most convenient thing we’ll find for the job is coffee and it soon becomes a daily comfort for us.

So why not make coffee drinking even more convenient than it already is and start having it delivered right to the door? You don’t need to spend ages looking through substandard shelves of beans at the grocery store, and most coffee club websites will be able to recommend varieties and flavors to suit your individual tastes. Got a partner? Share your membership and ask them to add their preferences to your order. That way you don’t both need to be at the grocery store at the same time.

Imagine how much time that will save!

3. Something to Look Forward To
Let’s face it, getting mail is exciting.

Yet how many times a week can you say you receive something through the post that’s really worth getting excited about? Most of our mail consists of bills, junk mail and local information that gets read, filed and forgotten about immediately.

Wouldn’t it be nice to hear the door knock, open it and be greeted with a parcel every now and again?

Even when you’ve chosen the exact order and you know what day it’s going to arrive, that parcel is exciting and guarantees you a comforting hot cup of coffee, if not a brand new taste experience at the same time.

4. Learn More About Coffee
It’s safe to say that the majority of coffee drinkers don’t know much about their drink of choice. Do you know how beans are roasted? Or what a fruit is called when it contains just one bean rather than the standard two? Did you know that coffee beans are not beans at all, but are actually seeds?

Perhaps you did, but even so there’s a huge amount to be learned about your own tastes in coffee too. You might know that you enjoy dark blends, but what about the hundreds of flavors there are out there? In some cases people very much enjoy intense savory flavors like maple bacon, whereas others enjoy rich caramel and mocha.

It’s exciting when you detect a subtle flavor within coffee, particularly when it’s hidden in the strong blend of an espresso, or brought out by the delicacy of a milky latte.

5. It’s the Ideal Gift
It’s all too easy to forget about our loved one’s birthdays until a couple of weeks before, and then start panicking about what to get them as a gift. Why not plan ahead for your friends and/or family who love coffee and buy them a coffee membership?

These can be found on line for as little as $3. Take Gevalia’s 3 boxes for $3 offer for instance. Others can go right up to $500+ with a state-of-the-art coffee or espresso machine as the main part of the deal. Whether you’re looking for a small gift with a difference, or something bigger that will really mean something and last a long time, there’s a coffee club membership out there for your gift giving needs.
