Former Product Testing Manager Annamarie Higley<\/a> tested the Keurig Advent calendar and was impressed with its theming and coffee variety.\r\n\r\n\"I\u2019m from the San Francisco Bay Area, so I\u2019m a huge fan of Philz Coffee,\" Annamarie says. \"Now, living in the Midwest, I only get to drink it very seldom, so I was delighted to unbox a pod of Philz Coffee Philtered Soul. I had no idea Philz even produced K-Cups! It was super special to get to sip on something that reminds me of home, especially while far away during the holiday season.\"\r\n\r\n\"Keurig\r\n\r\nIn addition to Philz, Annamarie unwrapped capsules from Green Mountain, The Original Donut Shop, McCafe, Swiss Miss and other Keurig<\/a> mainstays. She found the flavors surprising and holiday-centric, if not a bit too sweet on some days. \"A handful of these pods were remarkably good and flavor rich. I could even pick up some of the listed notes, such as cherry in the Caribou Coffee Reindeer Blend, which is a rarity for a new coffee drinker like me,\" Annamarie explains.\r\n\r\nWhile a bit pricier than a standard 24-pack of K-Cups, this pick is still the most budget-friendly option on our list.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Espresso-Style\" product_name=\"Nespresso Advent Calendar\" pros=\"Includes 23 days of rich espresso, plus a limited-edition mug\" pros1=\"Mix of festive and classic Nespresso flavors\" pros2=\"Fun and easy to brew\" pros3=\"Attractive packaging\" pros4=\"Available for Vertuo or Original machines\" cons=\"Not designed for sharing\" image=\"2029552\" pr_name=\"Nespresso\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nespresso.com%2Fus%2Fen%2Forder%2Fcapsules%2Fvertuo%2Fvertuo-coffee-advent-calendar\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Nespresso\" \/]\r\n\r\nWe get it\u2014sometimes you need an extra caffeine boost on those chilly December mornings. Enter the\u00a0Nespresso Advent calendar, available for both Vertuo<\/a> and Original<\/a> machines. Each countdown is filled with new, festive capsules as well as classic Nespresso flavors you know and love.\r\n\r\nFormer Home Editor Madi Koetting<\/a> tested the 2023 iteration of the Vertuo calendar. \"I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when this caffeine-packed holiday countdown arrived,\" she says. \"The packaging is simple yet stunning. And yes, it\u2019s 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\u2019s ready for sipping.\"\r\n\r\nMadi fell in love with her Nespresso Vertuo<\/a> machine, noting that it's a loyal morning companion you can always count on for strong, smooth coffee adorned with a rich foam on top. This Advent calendar expands on that experience. Pro tip: If you like sweet coffee, pair your coffee countdown with a chocolate Advent calendar<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\"Whether you start on day one or day 24, you\u2019re in for a real treat with the included espresso flavors,\" Madi says. \"The only downside is having to share the Nespresso Advent calendar with my partner\u2014we probably should\u2019ve ordered one for each of us!\"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Splurge\" product_name=\"Onyx Coffee Advent Calendar\" pros=\"Small-batch, award-winning blends\" pros1=\"Gorgeous, gift-ready packaging\" pros2=\"Enough for one pot of each flavor\" pros3=\"Detailed tasting and origin notes\" cons=\"Pricey\" cons1=\"Packages not labeled, so it's easy to mix them up\" image=\"2075171\" image_credit=\"TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Bean Box\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeanbox.com%2Fcoffee-gifts%2Fonyx-coffee-labs-advent-calendar\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Bean Box\" retailers_2_name=\"Food 52\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffood52.com%2Fshop%2Fproducts%2F10736-onyx-coffee-advent-calendar%3Fsku%3D44804\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Food 52\" \/]\r\n\r\nWith its show-stopping, accordion-like packaging and small-batch, award-winning brews, the Onyx Coffee calendar<\/a> is our pick for the most luxe coffee Advent calendar. Whether you're into fruity, floral, rich or chocolatey notes, the 24 bean blends offer a little something for everyone.\r\n\r\nSignature blends like Krampus and Framily are included, plus exclusive Advent-only, single-origin releases. Each packet contains 2 ounces of ready-to-grind beans, which each make a full pot of pour-over. That's enough to share\u2014or not if you're having a \"full pot\" kind of day.\r\n\r\n\"Onyx\r\n\r\n\"Aside from the gorgeous gift box, I am totally smitten with the included tasting guide,\" says Editor Emily Way<\/a>. \"Each and every blend included has detailed origin, processing and flavor notes. There's also a handy guide for brewing on the back, which determines the brew time and temperature for different brew methods. It's a great gift for both baristas and newbies who want to learn a little more about specialty coffee blends. I just wish the packages were labeled in case they get mixed up!\"\r\n\r\nWhile it's definitely a splurgy calendar at $175, the price is well worth it for this high-quality pick.\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Instant\" product_name=\"Cometeer Coffee Advent Calendar\" pros=\"Near instant prep\" pros1=\"Flavorful coffee that tastes freshly brewed\" pros2=\"Ability to make hot or iced\" pros3=\"Exclusive concentrates from top-notch roasters\" cons=\"Requires considerable freezer space\" image=\"2075173\" image_credit=\"VIA MERCHANT\" pr_name=\"Cometeer Coffee\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1594237&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcometeer.com%2Fpages%2Fthe-cometeer-advent-calendar\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Cometeer Coffee\" \/]\r\n\r\nI am a big fan of anything that makes life a little easier during the hectic holiday season. And while I, of course, love to linger over a French press, some mornings call for speed! And that's exactly what Cometeer coffee capsules<\/a> achieve without sacrificing freshly brewed flavor.\r\n\r\nThe Cometeer Advent calendar<\/a> features 24 flash-frozen capsules that you can mix with boiling water for hot coffee, pour over ice for iced coffee or combine with milk for a latte. It's an ingenious solution to instant coffee packets, and the brews actually taste good.\r\n\r\nThis year's countdown includes a mix of cozy holiday favorites, top-rated picks and exclusive lots of acclaimed coffees. Find capsules from brands like Onyx, Equator and Klatch coffees. You'll also get a tasting guide with information on each brew you're drinking. The only downside is that since the capsules need to stay frozen, this Advent calendar will take up valuable freezer space.\r\n\r\n
