So… I really love coffee. Capital L.O.V.E. – love coffee. My electric kettle, French press, and coffee grinder get a daily workout to give me a perfectly brewed pot of mom fuel each morning (and I drink every last delicious drop).
Lately I have wanted to expand my coffee horizons but sadly the most convenient location for me to find new coffee roasts was my local grocer. Not that great of a selection, and besides as a true coffee lover I know that exposure to light, heat, and humidity can make your beans go stale. Who knows how long those beans have been sitting in that plastic chute contraption being exposed to all above?
The past couple weeks I have been in coffee nirvana with some help from Mistobox and their coffee subscription box. As a busy mom I do not have the time to search out roasters and test their coffee, but the coffee connoisseurs at Mistobox do and they have taken over that task for me.
Each month Mistobox searches high and low for the most talented roasters to make the cut to be one of the 4 featured flavors in each month’s Mistobox. Depending on how many cups of coffee you go through in a month you can choose the an Awesome Subscription of four 1.7 oz. bags of whole bean coffee or a More Awesome Subscription of four 3.4 oz. bags of whole bean coffee. Both of these size choices are available as one time gift subscriptions or as recurring once or twice a month shipments.
I loved that each variety of beans came with a description about the grower/roaster as well as some tasting notes (i.e. “savory, spiced chocolate, round” or “fresh berries, chocolate, crisp finish”). They even include details on the process, variety, origin, and elevation for each coffee. All these extras have made me a more knowledgeable coffee consumer and when you find a roast you really like you can order more from the Mistobox online shop!
Whether you are a fellow coffee lover or are simply in search of the perfect gift for the coffee lover in your life you need to check out Mistobox. *Hint* *Hint* This makes a great gift for Valentine’s Day and they even have a Valentine’s printable if you order a subscription for your sweetie!!!
