Looking for a gift that combines sentimentality with practicality – while also supporting local businesses and promoting sustainability? Irish start-up Brew Box Coffee is a subscription service with a difference. Launched by Roisin Culligan, Brew Box aims to get everyone drinking sustainably sourced and local specialty coffee.

The first subscription service to offer a sustainable solution to the Nespresso pods filling up our landfills, Brew Box offers compostable capsules from European coffee roasters. They also stock reusable coffee cups made from the coffee husk.

Brew Box’s monthly subscription service launched in January, and has already featured an incredible selection of Irish coffee roasters, including Roasted Brown from Delgany, Co. Wicklow and Calendar Coffee from Barna, Co. Galway. This year also sees the return of Brew Box’s multi roaster Christmas Gift Box – featuring coffee from the country.

Sign a loved one up for a six or twelve-month subscription, and they’ll receive coffee to their door the first week of every month. Drinking sustainable coffee has never been so easy! For more information see brewboxcoffee.ie.
