Holiday Confessions of a Coffee Doctor

Yesterday morning I counted the remaining coffee beans in my personal stash (exactly 347, not that I'm obsessive). This peculiar exercise led to an important realisation: I should probably inform you about our holiday roasting schedule before you find yourself in a similar counting situation!

Our passionate coffee roasters are taking a well-deserved festive pause. They've been tirelessly perfecting our blends all year, and even coffee doctors prescribe occasional rest.

Our roasting machines will spring back to life on Monday, December 30th and Tuesday, December 31st, with the first deliveries of 2025 arriving on Thursday, January 2nd and Friday, January 3rd.

What does this mean for your holiday coffee ritual? Order soon if you want to avoid that desperate Boxing Day pantry rummage where you contemplate brewing those ancient emergency beans from 2023.

The AGOSCInator: My Holiday Companion

While preparing for my own Christmas gatherings (which invariably involve explaining my research to confused friends), I've been reaching for our AGOSCInator blend. Its rich body carries distinctive chocolate notes that pair surprisingly well with fruit mince pies, though I can't cite any peer-reviewed studies to support this claim.

The beans in this blend journeyed from small-scale farms in Colombia and Brazil to my morning mug. Each sip reminds me of the families benefiting from fair trade practices during a season when community matters most. The slightly spicy finish seems perfectly calibrated for contemplative holiday mornings. I'm not saying it was scientifically designed for this purpose, but my extensive personal research suggests it's true.

A Resolution Worth Keeping

Looking back at my own New Year's resolutions from last January, I notice a familiar pattern: grand ambitions by day three, forgotten by week two. However, our subscription service offers a resolution that practically keeps itself: regular deliveries of freshly roasted coffee.

Subscribers not only save 10% on every order but gain first access to our experimental limited releases (some successful, some best forgotten, all educational). It's also the most direct way to support our mission of creating independence and opportunity with every cup.

Holiday Wishes from My Mug to Yours

As I sign off with my trusty AGOSCInator beside me, I'm reflecting on how fortunate I am to connect with you through coffee. From my home in Adelaide to wherever you're brewing, I wish you moments of genuine connection this holiday season.

May your cups be full, your conversations meaningful, and your New Year rich with possibility. And if you happen to spot me dancing wildly at a festival or quietly sipping coffee while watching summer rain, come say hello. Community is what makes this coffee journey worthwhile.

With warm holiday wishes and caffeinated optimism for 2025,

Dr Dazz (Darryl)
