There Are Coffee Clubs So Join One Or Start One

By Daphne Bowen


Some folks have only one cup of java in the morning to get their day started, while others sip it all day long. There are many flavors, roasting techniques, and recipes for the growing numbers of Connoisseurs to enjoy. There is a reason coffee clubs are sprouting all over the world.

It is easy to find subscription groups on the internet that are sponsored by respectable and well known manufactures of coffee and equipment. Often new members are rewarded with free gifts such as travel mugs, a bag of java, brewing stations, and all kinds of other goodies related to this pleasure.

These are good ways to get started tasting a variety of flavors but if you prefer to have a cup with others, start a club of your own. Talk to friends, neighbors, coworkers, basically anyone you enjoy a cup with about meeting on a regular basis. It will not be difficult finding others that are like minded.

A good idea is to determine if there will be topics other than coffee focused on at the meetings. Perhaps there is a special charity, educational goal, or social concern that everyone agrees to talk about and work on at your meetings. Discuss this and have an agreement at the first get together.

Topics to discuss and be agreed upon should also be the number of members the group will be comfortable with. Decide if it is going to be a small intimate group or grow to much larger numbers. There may also be a need to elect officers, a contact person, and someone to write and distribute a newsletter.

Something everyone might want to try is going to different locales to taste different blends. Have the meetings there or for a special outing and make it a fun experience. You can even do this with larger groups just be certain to plan ahead and check with the proprietor to set a date.

Just imagine the fun it will be for everyone to share a cup with another group in a different country over a video chat. Due to the options now available on the internet clubs all over the world can get to know one another.

If the desire is to have a large group, then determine what the focus of the group, other than java, is going to be. There are clubs that concentrate on just the beans and recipes, developing a deep appreciation. There are also groups made up of professionals, educators, parents, students, basically any group with a common goal that are drawn together over a mug to discuss, learn, and grow.

Whether it is a large or small club, there is the very real possibility of getting deep discounts when purchasing by bulk or large numbers of equipment. Keep that in mind if there is a favorite flavor everyone chooses. Be proud of your meetings and get tee-shirts printed up or special mugs and travel cups. The main idea is to enjoy the brew and the company you are sharing it with.
