If you’ve got someone in your life who’s a real cup of joe fan then the Coffee Connoisseur Club from Robert Roberts is a really brilliant gift idea. Membership is strictly limited, each member receives a gift certificate to mark enrolment and you can look forward to receiving a pack of truly outstanding and rare artisan coffee delivered to your door every six weeks along with tasting notes and information about brewing and serving the coffees.
So, where do these fab brews come from? The club is curated by master coffee roaster Gareth Scully (that’s him in the pic above), who brings in the finest and rarest coffee beans he’s carefully selected from estates in locations like Central America, along with beans from single-estates in Kenya, Indonesia and other countries.
The best thing for coffee fans is that these highly sought-after rare coffees aren’t commercially produced as the supply is very limited. Gareth then hand roasts them to perfection in Robert Roberts’ artisan roastery in Dublin and they’re delivered by mail directly to members throughout 2013.
This really is a Christmas gift that will delight any coffee connoisseur and it keeps on giving throughout the year too. Subscription for 2013 is strictly limited and costs €49.99 from www.robert-roberts.ie.
As part of House and Home’s Advent Calendar 2012, we’ve got a membership PLUS a hamper containing coffee, a Bodum cafetiere plus cups and saucers.
