Many jokes are made about that first, or lack of, cup of java in the morning. Truth is if you are an Aficionado, there is nothing like the aroma of the beans, the brewing process, and the first sip to get a good start to the day. There are lots of folks with the same feelings so why not get together to enjoy a cup or two. There are coffee clubs so join one or start one.
It is easy to find subscription groups on the internet that are sponsored by respectable and well known manufactures of coffee and equipment. Often new members are rewarded with free gifts such as travel mugs, a bag of java, brewing stations, and all kinds of other goodies related to this pleasure.
These are good ways to get started tasting a variety of flavors but if you prefer to have a cup with others, start a club of your own. Talk to friends, neighbors, coworkers, basically anyone you enjoy a cup with about meeting on a regular basis. It will not be difficult finding others that are like minded.
An idea is to talk to people and set up a first meeting at a home or central location. There, discuss what the group is going to really be about. Decide if there is going to be a focus on special topics such as social, educational, political, or religious concerns or is everyone just getting together to enjoy different flavors of java.
Also, agree on the size the group can grow to or remain at. If a large group is the goal, then it might be wise to elect officers and one or two main contact persons. In addition, the group might want to have a monthly newsletter to keep members current on what the group is doing and what they have achieved.
Some people like to keep their groups intimate and for them rotating the meetings at the home of a different member each month will probably work best. It may be fun to even meet every other meeting at a different shop. Get out and try the varieties available. If the group is going to go big, then find a hall, of coffee shop that will welcome regular meetings.
These groups are popping up all over the world. Consider contacting one in another country or different state and become sister (or brother) groups. With technological options available, you could have a joint meeting by video and share the experience of tasting a new recipe.
If the desire is to have a large group, then determine what the focus of the group, other than java, is going to be. There are clubs that concentrate on just the beans and recipes, developing a deep appreciation. There are also groups made up of professionals, educators, parents, students, basically any group with a common goal that are drawn together over a mug to discuss, learn, and grow.
Whether it is a large or small club, there is the very real possibility of getting deep discounts when purchasing by bulk or large numbers of equipment. Keep that in mind if there is a favorite flavor everyone chooses. Be proud of your meetings and get tee-shirts printed up or special mugs and travel cups. The main idea is to enjoy the brew and the company you are sharing it with.
