Coffee Lover's Nirvana - Coffee Of The Month Club

For all of you coffee lovers out there, if you dream about the taste of an aromatic blend as the morning hours come upon you then keep reading. There is no better way to experience unique, high quality coffees from all around the globe than to subscribe to a coffee of the month club. Micro-roasters and even larger coffee producers are increasingly starting to offer their products on a monthly subscription basis. This offers consumers and coffee enthusiasts alike the opportunity to experience the smooth, mild flavor of some of the world's best coffees sprinkled with a touch of variety and delivered to your doorstep each and every month.


There are many options available as you start your search for a coffee of the month club. Many of the coffee producers offer specialty coffees consisting of organic and fair trade beans from all around the world. So get on that thing called the internet and start your search.


There are varying degrees of quality coffee producers along with a wide variety to select from. Invariably the best coffees are usually organic and fair trade beans that have been roasted as a specialty coffee. You can take your pick from the big brands right down to a local coffee shop / micro-roaster serving up daily shots of some of the finest java around.


Location, location, location: It's all about where the beans come from and how they are grown. Some of the best coffees in the world come from areas such as Central and South America, the Islands, Africa /Arabia and Indonesia. To be even more specific look for bean from exotic areas like Hawaii with their famous Kona coffee, El Salvador, Kenya and Sumatra. Each geography is known for their unique flavor with varying levels of acidity and robustness that are a result of the local farming conditions and harvesting techniques.


Organic and fair trade beans offer the highest quality coffee bean that is free from unnatural herbicides and pesticides and are grown according to internationally recognized standards. The fair trade aspect of the equation helps to promote healthy and profitable working conditions for farmers in second and third world regions of the globe that have been prone to unethical labor practices. So the message is - go green and help out your neighbor in this increasingly connected and global economy.


So now that you've done your research, decided on some fabulously exotic region of the world where you would like to purchase a coffee from - it's time to pull the trigger. As was mentioned previously there are lots of options to choose from. At the very least you should be able to find a shop that offers a coffee club with options for 3, 6, 9 or 12 month subscriptions for either whole bean or ground coffee. Price ranges can set you back on average anywhere from $12 to $18 per pound plus shipping with some of the more exotic beans from the Kona region in Hawaii or Jamaica going for as much as $40lb.


But if you have a rich palette that craves for smooth, mild flavors with hints of sweetness in the morning you will be overly satisfied with any of these fine selections. Now get out there, find yourself an aromatic blend that suites your liking and start to enjoy the delight that comes with being "in" the coffee club.
