Each month, you’ll get to choose from their limited-edition boxes filled with an array of products built around a central, unique theme. This month’s box options were “Jet Set” (Passport Wallet by Line of Trade, Rose Stone Portable Charger by Powerocks and Travel Kit by Ursa Major), “Brisk” (Merino Wool Scarf, 15” x 72” by Gilded Age, Wool & Cashmere Spray, 2oz by The Laundress and Cedar Balls, One Dozen by Woodlore), “Trimmed” (Gridwax Canvas Pouch, 10″ x 6.5″by Line of Trade, Beard Balm, 1.5oz by Beard Balm Brand, Amber Resin Beard Soap, 2oz by The Mod Cabin, Moustache Scissors, 4″ by Tweezerman, Pocket Comb, 4.4″ by Kent and BeardWipes, 3-Pack Beard Paw), “Ember” (FireAnt Multi-Fuel Stove by Emberlit, SparkForce Fire Starter byUST, Titanium Spork by Light My Fire and Camp Meal, 2.5 servings by Mountain House) and “Roast“, (presse Coffee Maker by bobble, Ceramic Burr Grinder by Bespoke Post and Freshly Roasted Coffee Beans, 6oz by Dapper & Wise Roasters).
If you see the selections and decide you aren’t interested you are totally free to skip that month (you can opt out during the first 5 days of the month) and you won’t be charged. Or, you can choose one of the boxes from a previous month which are still available.
Bespoke Post ships uses a variety of methods. This box shipped via UPS Mail Innovations. My box ended up getting delivered by UPS because I had some other UPS packages coming today.
You always know the items you will be receiving with Bespoke Post, however, until the box is in your hands you don’t really have a good appreciation for sizes or quality of the items so it’s always exciting to open it.
We opted for “Roast” this month which included the following items to give your coffee break an upgrade:
~presse Coffee Maker by bobble ($29.99): This is so cool. You you brew your coffee in this cup, slide out the inner microfilter and then just drink away. You don’t even need another cup if you don’t want one. Just add your coffee grounds and nearly boiling water and then in 3 minutes you are ready to press your coffee. This is just so sleek and smart!
~Ceramic Burr Grinder ($50): We have (well had) a grinder just like this from a previous Bespoke Post, but someone (me) dropped it. I feel even worse dropping it now that I know it was $50. OUCH! We got a replacement, but it wasn’t as fancy as this one. You can grid a bunch of beans at once and then take the top part off and store your ground coffee by putting the included lid on.
~Freshly Roasted Coffee Beans, 6oz by Dapper & Wise Roasters ($7): These beans are grown 1,250 metres above sea level in the High Cerrado region of Brazil. It’s described as having a “milk chocolate and honest sweetness, with a light orangey acidity”.
All totaled the October 2015 “Roast” Bespoke Post box had a value of $86.99. I think this is an ideal box for the person (well coffee lover) who has everything. Do they have a coffee press that doubles as a mug? I doubt it!
