How do we create the blend?

Every year we look for coffees with a flavour profile to complement tastes and flavours typically found around this time of year. These tend to be chocolate, orange, rich dried fruits (ie Christmas Cake) and boozy/alcohol like tasting notes.

We like to feature our relationship producers in our Christmas coffee blend and every year we are able to find great coffees from Costa Rica and Rwanda with these kind of tasting notes.

Which brew method should I use?

Our Christmas coffee blend is suitable for all brew methods and we roast this blend using an omni roast making it suitable as a light roast espresso or a medium roast coffee for cafetiere, filter and aeropress.

If you need help brewing your coffee head over to our brew guides page.

When is the Christmas blend available?

We typically release our Christmas blend early in November and it will run until early January.

What should I order when it runs out!?

Every year when the Christmas coffee blend runs out customers contact us to find out what they should order for the rest of the year! Our El Zumo blend has a similar taste profile and although it isn't exactly the same it will feature some of our fruitier coffees making it a fantastic choice.

A cup of joy

This has been one of the best coffee blends from HCR and I’ll be sad to see it go.

It’s simply a excellent coffee, bold, rich and aromatic. Exactly how I love it. It makes me genuinely look forward to my morning coffee. This is up there with my all time favourites.

Excellent

Bought for wife and dad for Christmas

Both very much into their coffee and really enjoy their machines. Made my Christmas very easy as had many different variety of coffees to choice from that would suit their taste. Both were very pleased when they opened up their presents and have really enjoyed their morning coffees since. My wife did even show excitement about trying out the different types of coffee she got.

Oh dear…

Unfortunately, this blend is really disappointing
I tried it with different extraction times, but each time it is at best unpleasant. All you get is a taste of burnt coal …

Delightful Delicious Delivery

I chose the Christmas Blend and Workhorse. I have been trying Christmas Blends every year for about 15 years from anywhere I can find them. This one is in my top three. There are only three that I would ever buy again in all that time. Like herbal tea they always disappoint but I keep trying for some reason. Glad I did this year, off the back of Workhorse being so good I thought I would risk it.

Wonder fruity notes

This is a truly beautiful cup of coffee. I particularly like it as a double expresso with a mince pie. The fruity notes are great and seem to create an ideal balance with the roast.

Christmas mistake!

The Christmas coffee blend is very good - as is the Rwanda product. These were repeat orders. Unfortunately, for my most recent order, I forgot to tick the box asking for cafetiere grind and so have now got 4x 250g packs of beans. I have a grinder myself, but my coffee order was intended as gifts to indivduals whom I know do not have grinders. Had to resort to plan B.
The default order appears to be beans rather than ground. But my mistake.

Awesome. We should have this all year long
