Gourmet Coffee Gift Basket

A gourmet coffee gift basket is truly appreciated by coffee lovers when it comes to gift giving time. What should these coffee gifts include? Find out what real coffee aficionados love to receive!

I know...I'm a tried and true coffee lover, and have been for more years than I care to mention.

So when it comes to gift baskets I have some 'inside scoop'.

What is it that we love to receive in a coffee gift?

One thing that really makes me smile is a coffee gift basket that includes my own favorite brand of coffee. For me that is Gevalia coffee, but it could be any one of hundreds of coffee brands, roasts and varieties. So, find out, if you can, your gift recipient's personal favorite type of coffee.

To narrow the selection down even further, determining the particular roast, flavor, etc. will lead to an even bigger smile when the gourmet coffee gift basket is received.

Now you're getting down to the real coffee lovers specifics! So do a little bit of detective work and it will result in a very happy gift recipient.

What else should go into that coffee gift basket?

Quality rather than quantity would be my next suggestion. Gourmet coffee gift baskets that include not only my favorite brand of coffee, but a couple of related coffees from the same company that I already love would be great.

Or, something tasty that I could hold in my hand or even dunk in my delectable cup of coffee would always be well received.

Again, not necessarily a huge assortment of this and that, but something truly special (probably sweet) that will keep that smile on my face!

Finally, I would suggest that if you choose to include a coffee mug or coffee cup, select something that is truly out of the ordinary. Maybe it is the shape, color or pattern of the piece, but unique is the key.

There are some fantastic hand painted coffee cups/saucers, espresso cups, mugs, etc. that would be like receiving a work of art.

So there you are. Great gourmet coffee gift basket suggestions!
