If you are a coffee drinker, and most of us are, and you like Gourmet coffee, well I have a place for you. I have been a member of this online store for a while now and have never had any problems. I always
enjoy their coffees and they are always delivered just like I ordered and for when I ordered. I am talking about www.gevalia.com.
The Website When you first come on the website you will see a very beautiful page done in reds and gold’s and whites. Across the top you will find links for: sign in/out, your account, shopping basket, catalog search.
You will also find in larger letters: Coffee, Catalog & Gift and Café. They also offer a search engine so that you can search their catalog.
Now down on the left hand side of the homepage you will find links that will take you to the same places in the last sentence above but also to: Customer Service, Free Catalogs, Free E-Mail Newsletter and Gift Finder.
Over on the right hand side of the homepage you will find: Summer Celebration (which does change according to season), Various Gift links, Special Promotions and (this is how I got started) Have An Offer Code. By clicking that link, I was able to get a free coffee maker and 2 packages of special coffee by Gevalia®, with free s/h sent right to my home. Now I had to pay for the coffee first before they shipped, but I could cancel at any time with no further obligations. So I thought, why not? I had heard good things about this coffee, so why not give it a try for myself. And I am glad that I did.
The coffee pot that I got was a blue, 10-cup, with auto stop. I have been satisfied with this unit. However, I do wish that I had a better one. But, hey free is free! Of course I now have a new pot from Gevalia®, that does offer a timer, clock and auto shut off as well! so I have done good think. Their coffee pots are made to be durable and thus far mine have been.
Now when you first set up your account with them, you can select the coffees that you would like. And there are a lot to choose from. You can choose from Ground Regular to Whole Bean Regular, to Light Roast, Traditional Roast, to Stockholm Roast, to Dark Roast, to Espresso Roast. And many, many others!
You got a different coffee taste, or in the mood for special roasted coffee, you can get it here! They even have French Vanilla and Chocolate Raspberry, Hazel Nut, Irish Crème and Cinnamon. And the Breakfast Blend and the Colombia Blend are just wonderful. They are the ones that I get most of the time. I have tried the Ground Regular and Traditional Roast as well as the Stockholm Roast. And all are just simply wonderful tasting coffees.
When you click the Coffee link you will learn just how to sign up, how the program works, and Limited Edition Coffees. Now I have my order set up to be delivered every other month, and I pay 14.95 (Us Dollars) each time. I am billed for my coffee and send in payment with the next order, or I can go online and order. I can even select to receive my coffee twice a year if I want too! And if I like I can select to have my credit card, or bankcard directly billed. I don’t like that though because I forget things! Paper bills are better!

How I Feel Well I like this coffee a lot! I like being able to change my selection of coffee either by mail or online. I like being able to have a great cup of coffee anytime I choose. I have to admit though, that we do not drink this coffee a lot because it is a lot higher than coffee in the stores. So, on special occasions, or when I feel like it, we will drink this coffee. That is why I have my selections sent every other month.
When the coffee is brewing, the most wonder aroma comes from the pot and I sometimes stand there and just enjoy the smell.
I also like being able to purchase gift certificates from them. They make nice gifts year round. Also, they offer nice gift baskets, which are also great for year round giving.
I also like going to their flower shop and looking at the arrangements of flowers. And they have a Wine link as well for you Wine drinkers.
I like being able to go to the clearance area. Sometimes there is a good by and sometimes not! You can buy coffee makers, teapots, coffee, wines, flowers, bowls, spoons and other items any time you want to, if you want to.
There are just a lot of items to choose from if you are interested. Check them all out! I have never paid s/h on my coffee orders. I believe it is in the price? And all of my orders have made it on time.
Customer Service has always been really helpful and so very nice. I had to cancel my account once, but was able to come back. They even offer you a “Welcome Back” gift.
This is really a great coffee place!
Please note, I am not sure if they ship overseas, I was not able to find that information. Sorry. Prices are US Dollars. I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.
God Bless!
