Helpful Holiday Shopping Tips

Holiday Shopping Tips
Order Early

Shipping tends to slow down during the holiday season, and we see an increase in orders as well. This means delivery times may be longer than expected. We recommend placing orders by December 15 for Christmas delivery, which should give us time to fill your order, and for it to arrive with either UPS Ground or Priority Mail. (Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee delivery, because once it’s out the doors, unfortunately, it’s out of our hands. Learn more about Shipping and what to do if your package is delayed.) We will pack and send out orders as fast as we can, as always. If you place a holiday order after the 15th, we’ll still do our best to get it out the door fast, and then we’ll cross our fingers with you and hope it gets to your recipient on time!

Make Your Own Coffee Gift Bundle

A few pounds of coffee, and a few items from our Merchandise Category all together make a great gift you can customize yourself! We aren’t offering a “Holiday Gift Bundle” product this year, but you can easily make your own! Make your gift of really good, freshly roasted coffee even more memorable with something “Drink Good Coffee” themed along with it. We’ll ship it all together (as long as you order it all together) and even add a card with a custom gift note, if you want!

When in Doubt, Choose Drip Grind

Not sure which grind to choose for your recipient? Drip Grind is the most commonly ordered grind. Know your gift recipient doesn’t use a countertop drip coffee maker? Our Grind Guide has information on other grinds.

Click “Ship to a Different Address” at Checkout

Save yourself the hassle and have the coffee delivered right to your giftee. Be sure to click the checkbox, and enter the recipient’s address at checkout. If you have an account with us, you can even save their address in your address book for future use! (PLEASE be sure to double check your Billing and Shipping addresses before placing your order. Once an order goes out to the production floor, we cannot make changes to it.)

Order 3 Pounds or More for $1 off per pound

Order online and get a discount on 3 or more pounds of coffee. This includes our 5 pound bags (each 5 pound bag is discounted by $5!) Coffees ordered on subscription get a 10% discount, rather than the per-pound discount. More details can be found under Discounts.

Try our Holiday Flavors Before They Run Out

Chocolate Mint Flavored Coffee will disappear from our menu after this holiday season. Be sure to order early and enjoy this delicious holiday-themed coffee while we’ve still got it! Christmas Cookie Flavored Coffee will also now be only offered seasonally (though if you’re craving that mildly spiced sugar cookie flavor, Snickerdoodle is the same flavor, and will be available year-round.)
