Coffee Clubs Are Sprouting All Over The World

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.

There are well known manufactures and subscription services that a person can find on the internet offering a flavor of the month or discounts for membership. In addition there is a bonus of other goodies for joining. Some of these items are a brewing stations, travel mugs, carafe, and a free half pound bag.

The internet clubs are a great way to sample different beans but if a person prefers to not drink alone, they can start a group of like minded people. The group can be made up friends, neighbors, coworkers, a school group, professional group, the possibilities are endless. The main force is going to be an appreciation of coffee.

An idea is to talk to people and set up a first meeting at a home or central location. There, discuss what the group is going to really be about. Decide if there is going to be a focus on special topics such as social, educational, political, or religious concerns or is everyone just getting together to enjoy different flavors of java.

Also, agree on the size the group can grow to or remain at. If a large group is the goal, then it might be wise to elect officers and one or two main contact persons. In addition, the group might want to have a monthly newsletter to keep members current on what the group is doing and what they have achieved.

Some people like to keep their groups intimate and for them rotating the meetings at the home of a different member each month will probably work best. It may be fun to even meet every other meeting at a different shop. Get out and try the varieties available. If the group is going to go big, then find a hall, of coffee shop that will welcome regular meetings.

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.

Another option for your group to consider is to go big, really big. Set up goals and the focus the group will take, then announce on social media. The group can make specialized groups of people the focal point of membership. Some specialized groups to attract are educators, executives, techies, just to name a few because there is an endless list of groups with an affection for the brew. Charge tickets and have a speaker, manufacture, shop owner, bean roaster, just someone associated with coffee or the interest of the group.

One positive to any size group is the very real possibility of purchasing products at a group discount. If there is a particular flavor that everyone likes, buy it in bulk at a discount. Heck, get some tee-shirts printed with a logo. Make it fun.
