If there is a person in your environment who cannot live without coffee, and you are looking for a gift for him, then you have come to the right place. This article contains the most popular and suitable gift ideas for coffee lovers. Rest assured: even the most avid lover of coffee drinks will definitely not refuse to receive one of the options listed below as a gift. Moreover, he will be very pleased, and you, giving such a present, will be able to show the person how dear he is to you. So, let's figure out what can you give a coffee lover?
What to choose from
The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, the coffee itself. Moreover, it is necessary to approach the issue of choosing a variety wisely. If a person is well versed in coffee drinks, then he can be presented with a mono variety. Try to choose something traditionally high quality. For example, Kubo Turkino or Ethiopia Irgachiffe are considered worthy options.
Over the past few years, plantation coffee has been able to gain recognition so far only among a narrow circle of consumers, because it is considered a novelty. It grows on small coffee farms and is sold mainly at small auctions. Unlike elite varieties, this coffee is not very popular, but this does not mean that it is of poor quality. On the contrary, the high quality of coffee is perhaps its main advantage. Coffee planters keep a close eye on the health of the beans. Well, isn't this a reason to try such a drink? We recommend giving preference to such Brazilian varieties as Ipanema Rubi or Ipanema Dulci.
Elite coffee is the best present for his loyal fans. But buying fermented Kopi Luwak is not necessary at all. An expensive variety of Jamaica Blue Mountain or more budgetary, but not inferior in quality, Tanzania Peaberry, Java, or Brazilian yellow Maragogipa are perfect for a gift.
Gift sets: decoration matters
When choosing a gift for a real coffee lover, you should not focus only on the coffee itself, because much attention is also paid to its direct preparation. That is why, think about what accessories might come in handy for your coffee ceremony. After all, each stage of coffee preparation and the tasting process itself play an important role for a true connoisseur of coffee. At the same time, even the smallest and seemingly very insignificant details cannot be ignored.
That is why the famous coffee set is perfect as a gift for an amateur. It is better to choose from a number of proven elite brands, as they are often produced in a unique design and incredibly stylish gift wrapping. Agree, it is much more pleasant for all of us to receive beautifully packaged presents, so this is also a very important point. Consider this, then your present will definitely not leave any coffee "maniac" indifferent. Such gift sets usually consist of cups and saucers and other useful devices: coffee makers, Turks, pitchers, coffee grinders, French presses, etc.
Custom ideas
Down with banal gifts! Why not donate a book to a real coffee lover? As they say, a book is the best gift, but in this case we are not talking about a simple book with detective stories or fantastic stories, but about informative "coffee" books. They contain a lot of useful information for people interested in coffee. So, a novice fan will be able to learn a lot of new things, and those who have long succumbed to the charm of aromatic coffee beans and immersed themselves in this topic with their heads may become more advanced in this area and discover something unknown.
The best books on coffee can rightfully be considered the creations of David S. Schomer, as well as Vincenzo Sandali and Fulvio Eckardi. The latter writers have been collecting material for the work for five long years. During this time, they managed to visit about 25 countries to gain experience in this area. As a result, the authors got a really worthy creation, which contains information about all the intricacies of coffee varieties, as well as methods of collecting, processing and roasting beans. The book also contains useful recommendations and recipes for preparing this invigorating drink.
An expensive gift for a true coffee lover
If you are ready to spend a fair amount, then a coffee machine will serve as an ideal gift for any coffee lover. But she must be really worthy. Now manufacturers offer many options for coffee machines: from budget to luxury. The functions of the latter include a programmable number of portions, automatic descaling, automatic preparation of cappuccino, espresso, etc. For connoisseurs of coffee, such multifunctional household appliances will definitely not be superfluous. Of course, you can also prepare an aromatic and invigorating coffee drink in a coffee maker, but a coffee machine copes with this business many times faster, and it is much more pleasant to use it. At the same time, the quality and taste of coffee remains at its best.
Tip: if a coffee lover dreams of a coffee machine, but does not have the opportunity to make such a chic gift, then just give the hero of the occasion a gift certificate to a home appliance store. The coffee lover will only have to add some of the missing funds, and soon he will be able to enjoy a brand new coffee machine.
Budget But Healthy Coffee Gifts
Let's move away from the topic of coffee makers and coffee machines and recall the most affordable method of brewing coffee in a Turk. This gift option, although it is the cheapest, but the taste and aroma of coffee prepared in a Turk certainly cannot be compared with anything. It is with this method of brewing in coffee that the whole bouquet of aromas is preserved and revealed, and for a true gourmet, coffee from a Turk is considered the most luxurious drink. A silver, copper or clay turk is well suited as a present.
An ordinary coffee mill is considered an alternative to the Turk (the mills made in retro style look especially great), electric coffee grinders, and coffee thermoses. A coffee service with a teapot, sugar bowl, bowl or milk jug can also serve as a worthy inexpensive gift.
