So it’s no secret here that I like my coffee. A lot. On a typical weekday morning I drop a pod in my single serve brewer, because I want it fast, but on lazier days I prefer to brew my coffee in a more deliberate way, grinding beans and french pressing them. So it was with great anticipation that I awaited my first Bean Box Coffee shipment of freshly roasted beans. Bean Box graciously sent it to me at no cost to myself.
The packaging of the coffee itself was great. Four 2 oz packets of freshly roasted beans right from Seattle, with a description sheet and a bonus of a chocolate tucked in as well 🙂
The beans come to you fresh, usually within days of having been roasted, and you know this because…
I requested a box with medium roasts and I love the fact that I got for different flavors to try. All four of them were delicious, each with its own unique tasting notes. But I have to admit my favorite of the bunch was the Peru La Convención blend from Caffe Vita. As soon as I opened the package I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma was heavenly and I really felt like I was standing in a coffee shop where they roast their own beans.
Bean Box offers a variety of coffee types for those who like dark or light roasts or a combination of tastes. They all come from Seattle roasters, and you know that they have that coffee thing covered pretty well over in that part of the country.
Even if you are not a coffee drinker yourself, this is a unique gift for coffee lovers. I don’t know many who wouldn’t appreciate a subscription like this, where wonderful coffee shows up in their mailbox each month 🙂
You have two choices for a subscription. One is a monthly tour of Seattle’s top coffees (like what I received) which can be as low as $17 a month or you can choose to receive The Coffee of the Month feature, which is 12 ounces of freshly-roasted whole bean coffee at $20 a month or choose a bag every two weeks for $34 a month.
Not sure you want to commit to a whole year? You can cancel anytime. Bean Box Coffee selections are also available to purchase on their website by the bag.

Coffee keeps me going. I drink it all day long.

I’m definitely a coffee addict – more for the ritual and the warmth than anything else. I used to drink a pot of coffee in the morning and then mostly decaf throughout the day (with some caffeinated cups here or there). I use kcups throughout the day. Caffeine has been affecting me more than usual lately so I just usually drink 2 cups in the morning and then tea/decaf throughout the day.
I have a cup right in the morning when I wake up and it gives me the energy to make it through the day.
I drink coffee all day long. Love my Keurig.

Coffee runs in my veins I drink coffee from the minute I get up till I go to bed. It can be 99 degrees outside and I’m drinking hot coffee. I even have a coffee tree in my kitchen got my first beans last year. This spring it’s loaded with beans, yup I’d say I’m a coffee nut! Thanks for the chance I would love to try your coffee.
I drink it daily! At work, I use Kcups, and at home on weekends and some mornings, I brew with a regular drip machine and drink throughout the day. Yum!

Coffee is part of my morning routine and I enjoy drinking it while watching the morning news. It also has the added benefit of giving me that extra zoom so that I can power through the day.

I can’t start my morning without coffee…not just for the caffeine – sipping the hot liquid feels like a luxury.

I was once an all day coffee drinker, but I have slowly replaced it with tea. I feel that in moderation I can balance the two and enjoy a nice warm cup with a little cinnamon when I need a pick me up.
We literally drink it all the time. It’s our lifeline. We hand grind our coffee and then use a pour over method.

Perhaps because I grew up in a (half) Swedish family ~ which meant we ALWAYS had fresh coffee brewing. I started drinking coffee at a very tender age (4-5) ~ at first it was more like coffee flavored milk, then I graduated to “cafe au lait” and finally VERY strong black. Now I go back and forth between the latter two. I would have to say that coffee is somewhat central to my daily life ~ can’t imagine having to give it up!
Coffee = life juice! I drink a cup of butter coffee every morning to start my day right, and sometimes through the day or late in the evening if I need a pick me up.
