Caffè Nero have sent us their first ever advent calendar, complete with 24 days of Nespresso capsules to try their range of delicious coffee.

The advent windows reveal 6 different flavoured coffees; Classico, Siena, Napoletano, Brazil, Colombia and Classico Decafinated.  Each flavour is a different strength from 6-9 and the details of the origins of each coffee as well as their strengths is detailed on the back. Siena is their brand new blend, made with 100% Aribica beans and is exclusively available through Caffè Nero’s at-home range.  There’s even the popular Classico but a decaffeinated version for anyone who wants to enjoy their coffee this December, a bit more guilt-free!

The advent calendar is obviously aimed at adults but I don’t see why coffee-loving teenagers wouldn’t like this. The front of the calendar is really attractive with the Caffè Nero branch in Covent Garden, London illustrated. Where many companies are now only doing the 12 Days of Christmas, it’s refreshing to have a full 24 days.  If you own a Nespresso coffee machine and don’t want to splash out on a whole new range of flavours in case you don’t like them, then the Caffè Nero Advent Calendar is a fabulous way of trying new flavours without the expense. It makes for a great gift as well, especially for those who are so difficult to buy for!

Every advent, what could you buy your other half that you know they would truly love, and need, without breaking the bank? The Blue Goose Coffee Pod Advent Calendar!

Before you rush out and get the calendars for the kids, have a look at this grown-up calendar. With all 24 days of advent, there are Nespresso compatible, organic coffee pods behind every door. They’re also compostable too!

There are 8 different flavours behind the windows, each with different colouring so that you can tell which is which. From Award-Winning Peruvian, Ethiopian Forest Coffee and even Swiss Water Decaff, there’s something for everyone. Plus, you get to try some coffee blends you wouldn’t normally buy, just without the price tag!

At just under £25 at the moment (Blue Goose have a sale on) it means that each pod is a little over £1 each – much cheaper than Nespresso and these pods are able to be made in the regular Nespresso machines.  The recommended shot volume is 35ml with a maximum of 65ml.  There’s a nice variety of flavours in this calendar, so you don’t get bored but you don’t feel like there are too many to choose from. The menu on the back makes it easy to work out which flavour you are brewing by the letters behind the windows.

Although made by Blue Goose, these pods are all Nespresso and Calendar machine compatible, but as you can imagine, at a lower price.  The pods are all home-compostable and are both plastic and aluminium free. As a Carbon Neutral company, they also pride themselves on being community conscious and provide employment to local Devon people with disabilities.  Blue Goose have also recently won a BOOM award from the Soil Association for being able to demonstrate their support for the organic industry.

Rather than spend this Christmas on the big names, Blue Goose is the alternative that’s more environmentally friendly, organic and yet still has delicious coffee!
