This eco-friendly calendar prides itself on its sustainable qualities.

There is good variety, with seven different coffees – there are tasting notes on the back of the calendar to guide you as you drink.

Grind Advent calendar

Available from Grind (£28)

We're already fans of the Grind coffee machine and have tested out its pods, so we were thrilled to see its new Advent calendar. The compact calendar has a pretty, festive London design, and inside are 25 compostable pods, plus an extra one on Christmas Day so you can share your morning brew.

Volcano Coffee Works Advent calendar

Available from Volcano Coffee Works (£54.95)

It may sound obvious, but a lot of coffee calendars focus on coffee pods. Not so at Volcano Coffee Works, though – you can choose between a calendar of whole bean or medium grind coffee. Instead of the traditional door-style design, the Volcano calendar is filled with 12 different bags of speciality coffee – and, as each 100g bag makes five cups of coffee, that equates to a generous 60 cups of coffee included. The coffees are from Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia and beyond for a great discovery journey.

RiSE coffee Advent calendar

Available from RiSE (£38)

This modern calendar is filled with 25 speciality coffees to take you all the way to Christmas Day. We particularly like how flexible the calendar is – you can choose to fill it with between 1-3 cups worth of coffee per day, ideal if you want to share it or just like several coffees per day. The whole-bean coffee inside is ethically sourced and packaged in compostable sachets.

Brew Company Advent calendar

You’ll find 25 organically-grown, single-estate coffees in this slot-style Advent calendar box by the Brew Company. The brand has gone about it in an innovative way: each grind is individually packed a self-supporting brew pouch that features an integrated filter system. Simply squeeze the base of each to stand it up, pour your hot water onto the grinds, wait for it to filter through and pour. Each pouch is reusable once cleaned out and recyclable.

For anyone who values speed over speciality-brews and really loves flavoured coffee, Beanies have nailed their festive selection.
