Coffee club membership is a pleasure for avid coffee lovers and connoisseurs. The coffee club concept is relatively new but is becoming quite popular in the busy coffee lover society.

Coffee lovers reward themselves and friends and relatives with coffee clubs by joining for their automatic delivery, free shipping and even discounts on coffee and other purchases.

In some of the coffee clubs you receive a monthly coffee club delivery direct to your door.

Allowing the coffee club to decide which coffee you receive is a great way to taste new coffees, sample different varieties, find a brew that you really like and ultimately avoid a trip to the store to buy your favorite coffee. Automatic shipment is very convenient, especially for those who need coffee first thing in the morning because delivery means that you shouldn’t run out of coffee. If you do, you simply increase your order to ensure that you never run out when you need it the most.

Other automatic coffee delivery options are available through other coffee clubs; those that allow the customer to choose which coffee, how much and how often they want coffee delivered.

Coffee clubs are now perking up all over the world and different clubs have different offerings so it is easy to find one that suits you.

Some clubs even offer newsletter subscriptions with informative articles about the month’s featured coffee as well as coffee recipes and helpful hints about coffee making and removing coffee stains. When you join one of these clubs, you are also usually entitled to a members-only discount. If the company has a sale or special offering, generally the club members will be the first to hear about it through the newsletter. In addition to coffee, gourmet coffee clubs sometimes include extras like coffee mugs or books with coffee recipes in them.

With clubs, the membership terms are generally flexible. You can usually choose the length of your club membership, from a single month at a time or three to twelve months, whether you want whole beans or ground, the type of grind you would like and finally, you can choose flavored or regular, caffeinated or decaf coffee, flavored or not. The choices are endless and are designed to cater specifically for each person’s tastes.

The island nation of Jamaica is known for its soulful, festive music, its hot vacation spots and its coffee. The reputation of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffees among coffee connoisseurs has pushed it to the top of the price list, ranging on average from $26 to $40 a pound. To understand the price, one must shed some light on the process resulting in this uncommon grind.

True to its name, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is grown in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica, generally located between Kingston to the south and Port Maria to the north. Rising to 7,500 feet, the Blue Mountains are the highest point in the Caribbean. The area is characterized by cool, wet weather and dark, rich soil with good drainage, ideal conditions for cultivating coffee. Though coffee is not native to Jamaica, it is the chief export of the island.

The quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is so fiercely regulated that the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica even restricts the geographic area that can produce it to the parishes of St. Andrew, St. Thomas, Portland and St. Mary. The Board has also trademarked the distinguished name all over the world so that not just any grind can try to pass as Jamaican Blue Mountain.

Screens of various dimensions are used to sort beans by size. The theory behind the screening process is that beans from higher altitudes are larger and produce better-tasting coffee than the smaller beans from lower altitudes. The Coffee Industry Regulation Act has instated three calibers of Jamaican Blue Mountain, based on the screen, or size, of the bean.

The strict regulations of the board prohibit some beans that might be acceptable in other brews. The screening process also helps to eliminate maragogipe (elephant beans). The green beans are a mutant strain thought to have originated in Brazil, are porous and absorb the characteristics of the soil in which they grow. Opinions about their worth vary widely among experts, but they are considered unfit for Jamaican Blue Mountain.

At least 96 percent of the beans used must be of the same size and bluish-green tint. No more than two percent can stray from that standard in any way. Sour or black beans, or foreign matter of any kind, are considered unforgivable defects and do not fall under the two-percent rule. The most unbending benchmark is needed to maintain the traits that coffee drinkers have come to expect.

The body, flavor and aroma of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee have made it one of the most sought-after coffees on the market. The supply is limited due to the relatively small geographic location where appropriate beans are developed. Restricted quantity, along with the excellent quality resulting from meticulous cultivation standards, and the celebrated name that demands the attention of hard-core coffee addicts everywhere inspires the demand for this brew, and it is the demand itself that will undoubtedly continue to sustain the high price.
