One of the great things about gift memberships is that they last longer than the opening of the gift - and so on that basis, although this isn't a gift membership, here's a great gift idea for a coffee lover.

Mind you, the gift would start before Christmas - it's an Advent Calendar from Rise Coffee and it gives coffee lovers the chance to try 24 taste tested and hand-picked speciality coffees behind the windows!   

The Rise Coffee Advent Calendar gives the coffee lover in your life the chance to countdown to Christmas, discovering different coffees.  There's 17g per pouch, which Rise say is enough for 1-2 coffees a day! 

Ben and Alice, the Founders of RISE coffee box, have chosen the coffee, and it's freshly ground.  Rise say it's suitable for many different brewing methods such as French press/Cafetière, filter, pour over, AeroPress and Chemex and Moka Pot. 

The Advent Calendar is £40.00.  Find out all about it here!  You can pre-ordeor now - calendars are sent out in the first two weeks of November. 

By the way, Rise also have a coffee gift subscription - you can select your grind type, and your quantity of coffee.  There are key facts on the roasters, beans and farmers, tasting notes and brew tips, and tasty freebies in each box as well!   You can also go for a one-off box or choose from 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.
