Designed to sit on the kitchen side with an access window at the bottom, pull a coffee out one day at a time.

What's in each sachet

18g of ground coffee per sachet, sealed for freshness. Roughly one strong brew or two lighter ones, depending on how you make it.

Our coffees are ground omni-grind, which means they work in:

The advent calendar for veterans and serving military

At Contact Coffee Co, we're founded and run by veterans who know the value of a proper coffee. The advent calendar is built for those who've served, those still serving, and those who appreciate no nonsense coffee. No gimmicks, no fluff, just a battle-hardened brand that knows good coffee.

Treat the veteran or serving soldier in your life. They will appreciate it, trust us.

Advent calendar bundle

This year we've added a bundle. You can pair our Jingle Blend festive coffee with the calendar at a discount. Give as a gift or keep for yourself.

When to order

Advent starts on the 1st of December, so the calendar needs to be on the kitchen side before then. Order by mid November for UK delivery with margin to spare. Calendars are packed in a fixed run for the season, and when they are gone there is no restock before Christmas. Full buying advice lives in our coffee advent calendar UK guide, and the rest of the gifting range is in coffee gifts.
