Gourmet Coffee – Gift Examples

For people who loves gourmet coffee,  they are known as amante de cafe = lover made of coffee.

Why do people love to give gourmet coffee as gift sets? The two most practical reasons – and perhaps the most popular – more and more people like to drink coffee is because they love the taste, and the stimulating positive feeling afterwards. … We feel that coffee and its stimulating qualities, make people who drink coffee much more relaxed.

I personally, look forward to the next morning cup of coffee to get my day going, and when I don’t have, it its just not the same, and you know what I mean. When you have late work to do, driving at a late hour, or have another reason for staying up past your bed time, coffee can keep you awake and focused. It’s a great beverage for keeping you on your toes when you need it.

A hot cup of coffee makes for a great winter drink. Pour yourself a cup of hot coffee and sit beside the fire to stay warm. As you’re having that cup of Joe,
you’ll feel that rush of energy surge through your body, warming you from head to toe.

Did you ever wonder why people drink coffee with doughnuts? The trivia answer, is  not because of some weird tradition. If you drink your coffee black you will taste its  bitter flavor, and for many a coffee drink will actually goes well with sweet foods.

The bitterness caused by the acidity of the coffee, makes for a nice balance for the sweets in many breakfast foods. For many it’s also a good after-meal beverage. You can always relax with your meal partners, enjoy a some good conversations, and some relaxing time as you let your dinner meal settle.

Coffee is a great social drink for any occasion. Instead of drinking alcohol, or if it’s not available, and you want to be social, grab a cup of coffee with a bit of alcohol. It will make you feel good, get you relaxed to enjoy yourself at the party as your mingling with friends.

Gourmet coffee gifts for every occasion, in every size range, and every budget, you can find spectacular for your friends, your children’s teachers, your boss, your neighbor, and even your parents. Every one would be delighted.

Where Do You Buy Gourmet Coffee Beans?

In my experience, the best coffee comes from people who care. So, who cares about coffee as much as you do? Well, when you buy coffee directly from a (good) local roaster; you’re buying a high-quality, fresh roasted product from someone who cares, so you can come back many times over. Your first step in buying great coffee is to start exploring any local coffee roasters, or nearby retailers and trying their coffee.

If you’re not certain, then it’s time to go on line and review the the coffee you liked.  What’s important is that you choose a company who clearly says that they only roast coffee after you place the order. You don’t want them roasting coffee 2 months in advance of shipping it. This seems like a lot of steps to get great coffee, but believe me its worth it. That’s the nectar you’ll be waking up to for a long term.

How to Choose Good Whole Bean Coffee

OK, you know where to buy great coffee; now its time to learn how to choose between the options. Here is a couple of minutes crash course in coffee bean terms to help you choose confidently. Sometimes as we look at coffee bags that are covered in words that don’t mean anything to us. So, lets try to simplify what it really means.

Arabica beans vs Robusta beans

Let’s spend a few seconds talking about types of coffee beans so that you know where to start. Arabica beans are superior to Robusta in terms of flavor, and quality. Often grown at higher elevations; it provides the beans more time to develop their flavor. Robusta coffee beans may contain as much as 80% more caffeine than Arabica. Robusta beans are also much more disease resistant and can produce a much higher yield.

This is straight economics. Farmers choose to grow Robusta, even though it sells the coffee for a much lower price, but at a much higher volume. Robusta is mainly grown for companies that produce instant coffee and other lower quality, grocery store blends. You probably won’t see a roaster advertising their Robusta coffee. Stay away from it if you love great coffee.

Flavored Coffee

When choosing a flavored coffee, one must be careful of the quality of the bean being used. An interesting fact, is that the reason for adding flavor to the coffee is to mask the quality. This can result in the flavoring being too strong and taking away from the true flavor of the coffee. Flavor is only meant to add to the coffee flavor, not overwhelm it.

If you are into flavored coffee, there are hundreds of types of flavors, and I’m sure you’ll find some unique flavors to fit your coffee needs. You can get exotic flavors such as Hazelnut, Crème Brulee and Apple Strudel, Vanilla Macadamia nut, to refreshingly unique coffee flavors like Christmas Cookies, Banana Rum and many other flavors.

The coffee flavoring process starts with freshly roasted, gourmet coffee beans, which are 100% Arabica. Immediately, after roasting, gourmet coffee flavoring, ranging from the traditional to some of the most exotic coffee flavors on the planet, are added to the beans.

If you’re looking for a way to spice up your regular old cup of Joe, you’ll find all types of flavors to kick your boring routine to the curb.

Why should I gift Gourmet Coffee?

“Gourmet coffee” is an extremely subjective term, that can mean anything from your friend’s brew that blew you away that one time, to the most creative, carefully timed concoction by your local coffee bar. But by definition, Gourmet coffee isn’t made in the same way that regular coffee is made.

There’s everything from the first harvest to getting it into your coffee mug that has a higher level of quality than a regular cup of Joe.

This type of coffee is generally made from 100% Arabica beans, giving the brewed coffee a full body, fine aroma, and rich flavor. Regular coffee use Robusta beans, which are cheaper due to the fact that they grow faster and are easier to produce and are mostly used in main stream big box grocery stores.
