It wasn't until about three years ago that I started drinking coffee. It all began when I visited one of those trendy coffee bars with a friend. I told her that coffee wasn't really something I indulged in and she insisted that I try a particular concoction that had a very long name and some delicious whipped cream on top. That was the start of my coffee obsession. My friend was quick to notice how I became a lover of all things java and she got me a membership to one of the coffee of the month clubs for my birthday.



Ideal doesn't even begin to describe this present. If you've ever purchased a gourmet cup of coffee you know how expensive it can be. It can be intimidating to try a new flavor simply because of the price. When a cup of coffee costs more than five dollars you want to ensure you're going to enjoy it. With the coffee of the month clubs you can try a new flavor each and every month, so you'll know what you like and don't like.

Where you live isn't really a consideration. The samples of fresh ground coffee are mailed directly to you. You can give the coffee of the month clubs either your home or work address. Most send out a sample that will make between ten and twelve cups of coffee, so sharing it with office mates is always a nice idea. In fact some offices join the coffee of the month clubs by having each employee contribute a small amount of money towards the cost. Once the coffee arrives, they purchase some pastries and have a coffee tasting party.

Another version of this type of club can be found at some of the high end coffee bars. You can purchase a card which works much the same as the coffee of the month clubs. Each month many of these types of establishments feature a new and original coffee flavor. Your card will entitle you to a free cup of the featured coffee each month. After so many months, you earn a reward that might be a mug or a package of coffee to take home. For someone who <---****HYPERLINK****--->"http://www.home-living-journal.com">drinks a lot of coffee, it's actually a great bargain as well as an inexpensive way to taste the newest inventions in the world of coffee.

If you can't go going in the morning without your daily boost of caffeine, you should seriously consider joining one of these clubs. Although many people swear by black coffee, they would be pleasantly surprised to know that by adding a bit of flavor, the coffee can take on a whole new richness and appeal. Coffee of the month clubs deliver a burst of taste right to your door and into your favorite mug.
