Our Black Creek Coffee Sampler Packs take you on a coffee adventure, tasting the best specialty coffees from each region. You can choose to sample 4, 6, or 8 of our amazing coffees.

2. A Handmade Mug

3. A Gift Card
We have physical gift cards for use at the Espresso Bar in Georgetown (available to purchase at the Espresso Bar), and we also have our Digital Gift Cards for use on our online store. A great gift for any coffee lover! P.S. Teachers love them!
4. A Good Grinder
A good grinder is essential for providing you the perfect grind size for the way you brew. The Baratza Encore Burr Grinder, is the best entry level electric coffee grinder bar none. With 40 settings, it makes easy work of everything from moka pot to French press. It is powerful, compact, and produces a consistent grind size every time.
The Baratza Encore is available online, or at the Espresso Bar in Georgetown.
5. A Pour Over Kit
Design and quality come together with the Japanese made Hario V60 Coffee Maker. The V60 is arguably the best way to make excellent coffee, and the best way to truly taste all of those flavour notes written on the label. (I make one every morning!) The Hario V60 Kit has everything you need to get started, including: the Hario V60-02 Clear Coffee Dripper, the Coffee Server, a plastic coffee measuring scoop, and 40 V60 Filters to get you started. And at just over $30 is an absolute bargain!
In addition there is also a separate ceramic dripper available in both black and white, featuring a custom spiral rib which results in a better extraction. These can be brewed straight into the cup for ease of use.
6. Costa Rica Milenio Double Diamond
Every once in a while, we bring in something truly exceptional. For the 'true' coffee lover, this is a very rare and unique single origin from Costa Rica - Finca Sabana Redonda. Once the ripest cherries are hand picked and sorted, Oscar and Francisca Chacón (the third generation producers at Las Lajas) put the coffee through a 'Double Diamond' fermentation process before drying.
This process creates astonishing floral and fruit notes that just burst from every sip. At $60 per bag, it's our 'Lamborghini' of coffees!
7. Kruve EQ Excite Glass Cups
You read the flavour notes on the pack, but are you really tasting them? Well these stunning tasting cups are just the ticket. Perfect for serving pour over coffee, the Kruve EQ Excite glasses are made with double to single walled borosilicate glass, that has a larger surface area designed to soften acidy and enhance sweeter flavours.
They turn a morning coffee into a special occasion, and make a really great gift for anyone who is serious about great coffee.
8. Jingle Bentley!
Who doesn't love the opportunity to post a picture of their dog eh? In order to raise money for our local animal rescue (Upper Credit Humane Society), we launched Jingle Bentley, a classic Christmas Blend inspired by our very own rescue dog.
Now in its second year, this limited edition Christmas blend combines Brazilian, Costa Rican, and Columbian beans to create a gorgeous medium roast bursting with holiday flavours, including: gingerbread, cinnamon, chocolate fudge and toffee. PLUS $5 from every bag goes to UCHS ($7.50 if bought at our Espresso Bar in Georgetown).
So drink coffee, save animals. Why wouldn't you?
9. A Crowd Pleaser
Sometimes you just want to please all of the people all of the time, well we have the perfect coffee for that. With a combination of a crowd-pleasing medium roast, and a great blend of specialty coffee beans, our Yellow Lab Blend can be brewed for Espresso, Moka Pot, Filter, and French Press.
And don't take our word for it, just read the reviews!
"Absolutely love yellow lab - it's become the only espresso bean we have in the household (even after several trips to Australia). Consistent light but full bodied flavor that escapes the bitterness of some beans. Highly recommend."
"Another hit! Black Creek knows how to roast espresso beans. Much like Sancuary blend, Yellow lab is smooth, clean and really flavorful. It’s a great blind roast."
"This is honestly the best coffee I’ve ever tasted."
10. A Portable Hand Grinder
The new, all metal construction Chestnut C3s grinder from Timemore is perfect for the home, office, or camping and travelling. The upgraded burr set give a precise and consistent grind that ensures the perfect flavour from your beans every time.
