We Found The Perfect Advent Calendar For Coffee Snobs (& It Ships Quickly)

It’s hard to fathom a time when advent calendars were just chocolate. Nowadays, you can use anything from sex toys to healing crystals to help you count your way through the holidays. For those who are still down with tradition but enjoy a dash of modernity here and there, may we introduce the perfect in-betweener holiday advent calendar: Bean Box’s Twelve Mornings of Coffee. It’s not as obvious as chocolate, yet still not as kooky as, let's say, 12 Days of Noodles. It's elevated in a gift-worthy sense while still being practical enough for those people who take their morning cups of Joe very seriously. And, until December 20, we scored you an extra 10% off with our exclusive promo code: REFINERY10. Bean Box's advent calendar includes an assortment of 12 “expertly curated coffee surprises” that can be opened, brewed up, and enjoyed each morning from December 12 onward. Whether you’re the coffee snob who will do the taste-testing or you’ll be the bearer of the beans, this curated assortment from the award-winning Bean Box experts is sure to impress. Below, get the full scoop on every rich flavor along with a smattering of other coffee giftables currently up for grabs AND guaranteed to deliver with lightning speed — because you never know what will these days.

This year's advent calendar features a flight of the brand's limited-edition holiday blends with festive notes of roasted chestnut, cranberry, sugar, spice, and, of course, everything nice. Every coffee bag included in this festive calendar is not your average cup o' joe. Instead, like with all its coffee, Bean Box has partnered with independent roasters across the nation to curate a unique selection of brews. Reviewer consensus praises everything from the fast shipping to the bean-discovery experience — as one attests, "We have only opened day one of the twelve-day calendar, but so far we are very happy! Box arrived extremely fast and shipped the same day I ordered. My husband is so excited to open a new coffee every day."

If patience isn't your virtue and you want your caffeine fix the minute it hits your porch, there are plenty of other presents. One item in particular, the Deluxe Coffee + Chocolate Tasting Box, meets the mark for gift-giving occasions all year round. Inside, you'll find eight artisan coffees, eight chocolate bars, and tasting notes for pairings.

Although the brand specializes in beans, there are options for non-java drinkers as well. The Deluxe Tea Tasting Gift Box was made for loose-leaf-lovers who too often get left out of the coffee conversation. Each box includes eight artisan loose leaf teas (Apple White, Green Tea with Mango, Citrus Spice, etc.), brewing instructions, and tasting notes.

Head over to Bean Box's site to pre-order the bestselling Twelve Mornings of Coffee Advent Calendar before inventory runs dry and don't forget to stock up on the brand's worthwhile coffee and tea gifts. Tis' the season to be caffeinated.
