Community Coffee Review & Valentine's Day Giveaway


Having a good cup of coffee in the morning is always important. Especially now that we have a new baby in the house and sleep is limited. If you're looking for a great cup of quality coffee for a reasonable price, you should check out Community Coffee. They have a great selection of traditional blends like dark roast and hazelnut, and they also offer unique specialty blends you won't be able to find anywhere else, like there Founders Blend or their French Quarter Fusion.  All their coffee is roasted in New Orleans so you're getting all the fun of Mardi Gras in every bag you open.


For our review, we received a bag of their dark roast as well as their cafe special medium-dark roast.  My husband was the primary taste tester since I was pregnant when it arrived and now I'm nursing so I can't have too much caffiene. But I did sneak a few sips here and there and I can't say I regretted it.  Some dark roast coffees can be bitter but this one was smooth and delicious. My husband has enjoyed it enough to drink two full pots every day since we got it. He even brought some along to the hospital in the nice little travel  mug they sent with it, which kept the coffee fresh and warm the hour drive to the hospital, even though he had to drive in a blizzard to pick us up.


In addition to individual bags of coffee, they also offer tea and a wide selection of gift sets that would be perfect for any occasion. Check out their limited edition Mardi Gras Collection or their Valentine's Day Gift Sets available in either coffee or tea.  They also have a Coffee Club to ensure that you always have fresh coffee waiting and delivered right to your door step. But one of the features I like best about this company is their Military Match program, where if you buy four bags of coffee for anyone stationed overseas, they will match it and send four more.  I appreciate any company that supports our troops. Right now you can even get free shipping on orders over $30 by using the code UPSGROUND.
