Give The Gift Of Gourmet Coffee This Holiday Season
We all have that one person on our gift list. You know the person I'm talking about; the one who has everything. That one gift decision often causes undue stress and can make gift giving more like a job instead of the fun it actually is. This holiday season, think outside the box; or can.
Why Give Espresso Beans as a Gift?
Gifting whole espresso beans requires a few special considerations. The first and most important consideration is a grinder. Receiving whole bean espresso when you don't have a grinder requires the purchase of a quality grinder. While grinders aren't very expensive, it isn't good practice to gift something that requires an additional purchase by the recipient. Here are a few other questions to consider:
Does the recipient of the gift love coffee? You know a coffee lover when you see them. They always appear awake, alert and in a good mood. They often hang around in coffee shops or the break room at work. If the recipient is a member of your family, you probably even know their favorite blend and roast. Take each into consideration when making your purchase.
Does the recipient of the gift appreciate the finer things in life? Some coffee drinkers are perfectly satisfied with their usual grocery store purchased blend of coffee. They're OK with pre-ground coffee brewed in a drip coffee maker. Don't purchase the gift of gourmet whole bean espresso if the recipient doesn't have the right equipment with which to grind and brew it.
Do you believe the recipient of the gift would love to create espresso at home? Coffee houses are great, but sometimes standing in line becomes a ridiculous waste of time. Imagine giving a gift that could save the recipient 15 to 30 minutes per day and make their home smell like the coffee house they love. Your generosity and gift giving expertise would greet their senses every morning.
Companies that Offer Whole Espresso Beans
LaVazza is one of the world's leading providers of whole bean espresso. Whole beans are available in 100 percent Arabica or Arabica and Robusta blends. Roasts created with 100 percent Arabica beans are higher in caffeine and smoother than blends that include Robusta. Robusta provides the earthy, strong flavor and richness some coffee lovers enjoy.
Segafredo is a popular gourmet coffee brand and has several blend, roast and packaging combinations to take into consideration. Some espresso lovers use Segafredo whole bean espresso for an extra kick in their coffee, cappuccino or latte.
Miscela d'Oro, created by a southern Italian family, is often considered "classic southern Italian espresso" and is an affordable option for gift giving. Miscela d'Oro uses double certified 100 percent Arabica in their premium blends and a delicate blend of Arabica and Robusta in other excellent blends.
Several other companies offer a great selection of gourmet coffees but these are our favorites. Whether you choose Miscela d'Oro, Segafredo or LaVazza whole bean espresso as the perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for person on your gift giving list, they're sure to love it.
The Three-Month Gift that's Sure to Please
The average coffee drinker will enjoy a full three months of incredible coffee pleasure from a single package of whole bean espresso. Friends and family members who truly love gourmet coffee and grinding their own from whole bean espresso shouldn't be difficult to buy for; get them something they love.
