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.

In an instant a person can find dozens of subscription services on the internet that will send a bag of java on a regular basis. There are also discounts available for members and free items for joining. If you enjoy sipping alone or with close friends and family this may be the type that will work best for you.

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.

Social media is a useful tool if you want to do this on a much larger scale. Find a large enough venue to hold the regular gatherings and have a speaker or representative from a coffee company. Charge an admission to cover the cost of the drinks or hold the meeting at a shop where the owner agrees to save enough room for the group in exchange for sales.

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.
