Best Overall Coffee Advent Calendar

Bean Box 12 Mornings of Coffee

This coffee Advent calendar is the perfect way to start your holidays with a little extra pep in your step! Bean Box is known for its delicious coffee subscription boxes, and their 12 Mornings of Coffee Advent calendar already has our mouths watering over their specialty roasts.

Back for 2023, the popular coffee Advent calendar features 12, limited-edition holiday blends. I tried the Bean Box coffee Advent calendar, and I love waking up to a new, yummy surprise each morning. Because I prefer my coffee strong, I’ve found that each coffee packet brews enough for two large mugs. But of course, it also brews four to six cups, as the box notes.

I won’t give away all the surprises, but let’s just say every blend is exactly what Christmas dreams are made of (there’s a rich milk and cookies blend). Be your own at-home barista with this coffee calendar this Christmas.

We also recommend pairing it with the Bonne Maman jam Advent calendar for tasty mornings all December long.

Pros

  • Holiday coffee flavors
  • Expertly curated from specialty coffee roasters
  • Brews 4-6 cups
  • Available as whole bean or ground coffee

Cons

  • 12 days of coffee, not 24

Best Single-Serve Coffee Advent Calendar

Keurig 24 Cups of Cheer Countdown

Yes, one of the best single-serve coffee makers is making the holidays bright with their very own coffee countdown. Senior Shopping Editor, Cher Checchio, tested the Keurig Advent calendar and notes, “I already rely on my Keurig for delicious, quick coffee, so I was ecstatic to try this Advent calendar variety pack to experience a holiday brew during the 24 days leading up to Christmas. My first pick on the calendar was the Green Mountain holiday blend, which has notes of dark fruit, caramel, chocolate and a hint of spice.”

Cher adds that the surprise of not knowing which flavor is behind each day really adds to the holiday fun. “It was truly like giving myself a gift every morning—the gift of delicious java,” says Cher. “I was so happy when I got to try the Red Velvet Latte with notes of cream cheese frosting and cocoa. Although I was hoping to get more of the cream cheese essence, it’s the smoothness of the cocoa that takes center stage. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by these full-bodied, festive flavors.”

Pros

  • 24 days of coffee pods
  • Variety of holiday coffee flavors
  • Name brands included
  • Recyclable K-Cup pods

Best Espresso Advent Calendar

Nespresso Vertuo Advent Calendar

We get it—sometimes you need an extra caffeine boost on those chilly December mornings. Enter the Nespresso Vertuo Advent calendar. Filled with 24 days of festive and classic Nespresso flavors you know and love, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when this caffeine-packed holiday countdown arrived. The packaging is simple yet stunning. And yes, it’s worthy of displaying on the counter next to your machine. The real kicker? The ease of convenience. Just pop a pod in, wait 30 seconds while it brews and it’s ready for sipping. My Nespresso Vertuo review showed me this magical machine is a loyal morning companion you can always count on for strong, smooth coffee adorned with a rich foam on top, and this Advent calendar certainly delivers on that experience. Pro tip: if you like sweet coffee, pair your coffee countdown with a chocolate Advent calendar.

Whether you start on day one or day 24, you’re in for a real treat with the included limited edition coffee accessory and cheerful espresso flavors like double espresso dolce. The only downside is having to share the Nespresso Advent calendar with my partner—we probably should’ve ordered one for each of us!

Pros

  • 24 days of rich espresso
  • Mix of festive and classic Nespresso flavors
  • Fun and easy to brew
  • Includes limited edition coffee accessory

Cons

  • Not compatible with Nespresso original machines

Best Packaging

Onyx Coffee Lab Advent Calendar

Ready for a bold 24-day coffee-tasting journey? The stunning packaging for Onyx Coffee Lab’s 2023 Advent calendar is impressive alone, but it’s the exquisite coffees inside that will truly blow you away. And if you’re looking to impress a coffee-lover, this coffee Advent calendar is for them. The countdown opens like a book to reveal 24 days of java spotlighting different origins, flavors and bean processing methods to create a complete holiday experience. For maximum freshness, the beans are roasted on a tight schedule to allow them to rest before consumption while guaranteeing you receive the absolute highest quality.

I had the pleasure of testing Onyx Coffee Lab’s holiday countdown, and yes, the packaging is more stunning in person. Though they don’t offer the option to choose from whole bean or ground coffee (only available as whole beans), I appreciate this detail because it means you’re receiving extra fresh, high-quality coffee in each brew. Just make sure to have your favorite coffee grinder on hand before brewing (Burr grinders are highly recommended).

As for the coffee itself? Expect coffee house-level brews from the comfort of your own home. Plus, each coffee sachet makes enough for two people! Pro tip: this calendar is double-sided, so flip it after day 12 to continue your coffee-tasting journey. Ready, set, embark on your java-packed adventure!

Pros

  • Impressive packaging worthy of gifting
  • High-quality coffee beans
  • Comes with an info card including brew instructions and coffee origin details
  • Beans roasted at peak freshness for a smooth-tasting experience

Cons

  • Not available as a ground coffee countdown, but you get much higher quality with the beans
