Bean Box Coffee Sampler |
I love
coffee, like really love it… like, theoretically trade my left lung for a good
cup! Before I found out that I was
pregnant with my son, I drank a lot of coffee and, while I love really good
coffee, I would drink just about anything.
But in-utero Little Bear couldn’t quite hang with my coffee habits, so I
had to dial it back—my doctor said that I could have one cup per day. If I was going to be limited to just ONE cup,
I knew that it would have to be the best cup I could find. Ten months on from delivery, I’ve stuck with
the one cup rule and I’ve set out to find great coffee to fill that one
cup!
I typically
get my coffee from my local grocery store, it has a pretty decent selection
these days, but when I heard about Bean Box I knew I had to try it out and see
if this delivery service could bring the best cup strait to my door—a huge
benefit for this tired mama. Bean Box’s
coffee options are loosely broken down into two types, a subscription service
that lets you try four new coffees each month and gift sets that are designed
more as one-time gifts. I was lucky
enough to get to try out a box from each category: this month’s Bean Box CoffeeSampler and their Coffee + Biscotti Tasting Box and I have been so impressed by
each!
My First Coffee and Biscotti |
The Coffee Sampler included four unique coffees, sourced from around the world and roasted
in Seattle, Washington! My box included
select brews from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Columbia as well as a special Autumn
Spice Blend that kicks pumpkin spice to the curb; it’s basically a chunky
sweater and fall-baking in a cup! As a subscription
delivery option, you can choose packages of one, three, six, or twelve months,
the latter two saving you ten and fifteen percent respectively, and you get
free shipping with all recurring options!
The box also includes an artisan caramel (I got Hot Chocolate flavor!)
and brewing tips. Since I’m only
drinking one cup a day, I get about four days’ worth from each package, so this
Bean Box satisfies my coffee needs for just over two weeks! I think that this monthly delivery option
would make a fantastic gift for the coffee lover in your life, because it’s the
gift that keeps on giving, but you only have to remember it once!

I also got
to try one of Bean Box’s curated gift box options: the Coffee + Biscotti TastingBox. In this box, I was so pleased and
surprised to find four totally different coffees—so I got to try eight coffees
in total—and four biscotti, a twice-baked cookie that is perfect for dunking in
coffee; I got Almond, Chocolate Cherry, White Chocolate Raspberry, and Red
Velvet flavors! I enjoyed this box so
much, indulgently eating a cookie with my morning coffee—that’s totally
acceptable when they’ve been expertly paired by a coffee professional, right? My tummy and I think so! I can safely say that this would be a great gift
for the coffee lover in your life when you want a gift that comes all at once,
rather than expecting the recipient to exercise coffee restraint and patience! The curated gift box options include other coffee pairings, including chocolate, breakfast
items, and tea! You can also choose from
all-coffee gift options and can get your coffee whole bean or ground! They even have a K-Cup option! So many choices!
Coffee + Biscotti |
All in all,
I can say that this is a great gift for the coffee lover in your life—even when
that coffee lover is Yourself… maybe most especially then! That is precisely what I did, even before I finished
all the coffee from my two boxes; I now have a box of special holiday blends
heading my way and I can’t wait!
Oooo I bet I would love this!!
