Coffee gifts are perfect if you know your intended recipient loves coffee. I personally would love it if people sent me gifts of various coffees and such. There is a huge variety out there and we’ll explore the options.

When giving any gift, you should at least know something about the person you are giving the gift to. If they love coffee, that’s great, but what else do you know about them? Do they have one of those instant coffee machines like the Keurig coffee maker? If they do, great, you can get them coffee gifts with an assortment of the various cartridges in them.

How about things that go with coffee? I could think of lots of things I eat with my coffee. Here are a few suggestions: biscotti, chocolate, cookies, biscuits. Hmmm… I love biscotti with my coffee. Presentation is important as nothing ruins a nice surprise like a poorly presented gift.

If you are shopping online for your coffee surprise, make sure they have pictures of the final product to assure it is up to snuff. If you are getting chocolate to go with that coffee, then I highly suggest dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants and is actually good for you. Another side benefit to giving chocolate is that it does not expire immediately so you don’t have to worry about spoilage.

Coffee gifts are perfect seasonal gifts. During the holidays each year, it is pretty safe to give the gift of coffee. You could also give a fruit basket and a cheese basket to cover all the bases. There are many things you could give and it is easy to go crazy.

Fortunately, coffee lasts longer than cheese or steak, so keep this in mind if your intended recipient is out of town a lot and/or doesn’t eat at home that much. Now that I think of it, Valentine’s Day is a great holiday to give chocolate and coffee gifts. Women love chocolate so what better accompaniment is there than coffee? Need I say more?

Bulk coffee is available online at a significant discount. Keep in mind that shipping costs are a factor since the coffee beans are shipped in 5-25 pound bags. Make sure that the coffee distributor you choose to order your coffee from is located near you.

This will help cut down on delivery costs and delivery times. I usually like to get my coffee order the next day. That cuts down my available choices, but I would not want to pay overnight shipping fees on 25 pound bags of coffee.

There are many bulk coffee programs out there. You can usually save if you join a plan where a certain amount of coffee is shipped to you each month. How much coffee you have to order varies by company so be sure to check the terms of each plan. Most house blend coffees that are up for sale come from various vendors. Expect to see a blend of coffee from Kenya, Sumatra, South America and Central America. You should test the quality of the coffee by buying the lowest quantity you can. Personally, I like to buy coffee in small amounts and I only buy the best. If you have a coffee house, diner or restaurant, then you will probably have need of lots of coffee.

As I said before, you probably own a restaurant or large office if you are buying bulk coffee. It is a good idea to get a commercial grade coffee machine if you are going to make large amounts of coffee. Regular home coffee makers are very slow at making coffee and they don’t make the water hot enough to extract the optimum flavor from the coffee bean.

If you are wondering why your home brewed coffee does not taste the same as it does in the store, this is one of the reasons why. Water temperature during brewing matters a lot.

If you don’t need lots of coffee, don’t buy large bags. Yes, you can save money if you buy a 25 pound bag, but if it takes a year to use up so much coffee then don’t do it. The last cup will be totally devoid of any flavor. Only buy as much coffee as you’ll be using in the next month maximum.
