Whether given alone or arranged in beautifully designed baskets, gourmet coffee gifts provide variety and options that allow you to customize your selections and choose the perfect idea for everyone on your list.

From quality beans to interesting blends and state-of-the-art products, every coffee lover will appreciate a gourmet coffee gift. And, with so many varieties and flavors, even non-coffee drinkers will be tempted to indulge in a few sips and enjoy sharing with family, friends, and coworkers.

Thank a hostess with a thoughtful gift card or welcome someone to the neighborhood with a new coffee maker and gourmet sampler. Give a teacher or business colleague a mug warmer that can be plugged into an outlet or a laptop USB connection so they will always have a shot of warm caffeinated energy on those challenging and exhausting days.

A french press is the perfect gift for the truly committed coffee addict who appreciates the full robust flavor created by this simple, hands on method. Or, for the specialty coffee enthusiast give the extravagance of a espresso or cappuccino machine. Nothing would thrill a coffee lover more than a coffee club membership that gives them a full year of savoring new and delicious blends. A thermal travel coffee mug is ideal for the busy mom with a hectic, on-the-go lifestyle; or, give a coffee grinder to that fastidious friend who values discriminating taste and careful attention to detail.

Show your appreciation, celebrate a holiday, or honor special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, and graduations with coffee themed gift baskets. Coffee is a very versatile beverage that pairs well with almost any flavor and complements virtually any occasion, allowing you to make baskets as unique and original as the person for whom they are being created. Combine an assortment of gourmet coffee beans with a grinder, a personalized or photo mug, and some goodies such as Belgian chocolates, decadent truffles, or fudge dipped biscotti.

Create a special basket for a wedding couple including a selection of flavored coffees, Godiva chocolates, china mugs, and a few non-edibles such as a classical cd, bubble bath, and a romantic movie.

For the men in your life, add a unique twist to coffee baskets by combining a variety of blends and roasts with chocolate poker chips and a deck of cards, or golf balls and a gift certificate for a round at their favorite course.

For the recipient with a single cup coffee maker, fill a basket with gourmet pods, flavored syrups, and individually wrapped treats; or, add in liqueurs, chocolate covered espresso beans, and a magazine or book.

Choose a decorative basket or make it more interesting by packing the contents in a wooden bowl, trunk or crate. Pile coffee treats artistically onto a hand painted platter or serving tray, or arrange them in a picnic basket. The combinations of products and presentation are endless and limited only by your creativity.

Gourmet coffee gifts are a tasteful and sophisticated choice that make both giving and receiving fun and exciting.
