Wondering what to give the coffee lover on your gift list.? Or maybe you need to give a business gift to a collegue.
For coffee gifts, we have some great ideas that any coffee lover would enjoy, at a price you will like, too.
Coffee is a practical gift for close family and friends, as well as for casual acquaintances. Nearly everyone drinks coffee, yet we all appreciate the opporutnity to enjoy an ocassional extravagence that we wouldn't buy for ourself. Any coffee lover will immediately appreciate a bag of fine estate coffee from Kenya or Sumatra, or a sampler (or more) of the prized Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.
Gift Baskets
The simplest way to to assemble a gift is to decide how much you want to spend, and then buy a variety of different coffees for a gift basket. Everyone loves to discover new coffee flavors, and to try coffee grown in an exotic tropical location.
Perhaps a variety of coffees, from Columbia, Kenya, Sumatra and Costa Rica would be welcomed. With numerous online coffee merchants, finding that special new coffee is easier than ever. I suggest looking at BocaJava and CoffeeforLess. There is also the unique taste of Louisana's Community Coffee for a taste of the south.
Do this and you will make someone very happy when they receive this treat. They will love to try out and discover the new flavors of coffees.
Like a florist, some gourmet coffee shops will create coffee gift baskets for you, and arrange for shipping if needed. Again, just tell them your budget, ask for a few ideas, and they will handle it from there.
Gifing a Coffee Club as a Gift
Another great idea for a coffee gift is a "the coffee of the month club." Coffee clubs will send your special person a new coffee flavor to try out every month rather than all at once. That way, they remember you every time the coffee arrives at their front door. It also allows them to vary the selection, and get the exact coffees they always wanted to taste.

Travel Mugs
Any coffee drinker enjoys a good travel mug, and they are available to fit all budgets. Travel mugs come in all styles, colors, sizes and materials. You can choose an attractive fashion, or one that has a clever saying. I usually prefer travel mugs with stainless steel interiors because the plastic ones can start to have a funny taste.
Here is our Travel Mug Store, where you can browse a large a variety of travel coffee mugs and purchase one that you like.
Coffee Gift Certificate
The simplest gift is the ever present gift certificate. You can purchase these at your local coffee shop, or online. Since there are so many Starbucks, that's a safe gift that someone can use where ever they live. But I would suggest a gift certificate from one of the online coffee merchants, which could lead to exploring a new and interesting web site with plenty of enticing coffees and accessories. I suggest Coffee for Less as a good place to start, or you can go to the Green Mountain Coffee site for plenty of Keurig coffee makers, and gourmet specialty coffees.
Coffee Accessories
For a more lasting gift, consider giving a coffee maker or coffee accessories? The Aeropress is available for less than $30 online, and it makes a great cup of coffee. Any coffee lover would be glad to have this press to enjoy a cup or two of gourmet specialty coffee.
For a more expensive gift, I suggest that you consider a Tassimo Coffee Maker or the Keurig Coffee maker.
A coffee grinder or roaster would also be appreciated. For a more unique gift, you can create a personalized coffee mug. I know someone who got a coffee mug with all of the names of her grandchildren...she gets to use it every day and loves it!
You can find out more about coffee grinders and single cup coffee machines at our online stores to browse for that perfect gift.
A coffee lover's gift can be as simple or unique as your budget or imagination allows. While you're browsing, I bet you'll see a few things you want for yourself, too!Here is a page about Coffee Club Membership for gifts or for yourself.

Home delivery coffee clubs – gourmet coffee delivered to you
For something new, or as a gift idea for the coffee lover on your list, it pays to know more about coffee club.
First, you will sign up (or sign up your friend or family member as a gift). Most include some sort of bonus when you sign up. Look for a coffee club that has options you'll enjoy. You will choose the coffees you want, tell them how often to deliver, and get it on auto pay for your credit card. Then wait for the coffees to be delivered to your door.
If you're not sure whether you'll use all of the coffee each month, you should look for a coffee club that allows you to change how often deliveries are made. Not everyone drinks the same amount of coffee, and a monthly delivery might be too frequent for you.
You should also be able to change the coffees you want. Your tastes may change, or you may decide that you're tired of the particular coffees you're to receive and want to try something different next month.
Choosing the right coffee club
The right coffee club is one that has the coffees you want and fits your budget. Look for a coffee club that offers a broad selection of quality gourmet coffees. Then look at the terms, to make sure that you understand what you're signing up for, and how you can stop the club if you want to do so.
I remember signing up for the old record clubs...and wondering how could I ever get out of that. OK, I'm dating myself. That was before itunes in case anyone doesn't know what a record club was.
Here are a couple of home coffee clubs that you may want to consider.

Peet’s Coffee & Tea Peetniks Coffee Club
Peet's is where gourmet coffee brewing started in the USA. More people know about Starbucks than Peet’s, but the Starbucks owes much of its start to Alfred Peet, the immigrant from Amsterdam who decided that coffee in America had a lot of room for improvement and did something about it. Peet's has an excellent reputation for roasting quality coffees, and was one of the first in Amercian to offer darker roasted coffee.
Here is information about the Peetniks club, which is what they call the Peet's coffee club.
- Your coffee is roasted and shipped on the day of your choosing - straight from Peet's artisan roastery. Your coffe is immediately packed and the bag flushed with nitrogen to lock in freshness
- A direct phone number of their own to call: Peetniks can call 1-888-PEETNIKS to schedule and change their orders
- Peetniks automatically get 50% off shipping on every recurring delivery shipment
- Manage your order online: Peetniks have online access to make any necessary changes to their order online.

Community Coffee Coffee Club
Oneof the few coffee retailers that can challenge Peet's for the origin of gourmet coffee in America is Community Coffee. In fact, now that Peets has sold to a large corporation, Community Coffee is the largest family-owned retail coffee brand in the U.S. Founder "Cap" Saurage started in 1919 in a small country store in Baton Rouge.
Today, unless you live in or visit Louisiana, the best way to enjoy this distinctively rich coffee is through online purchases. Community Coffee Company starts with only quality, 100% Arabica beans selected by the Saurage family. Then they apply their generations of roasting experience, to acheive a full-bodied yet smooth flavor to showcase the extraordinary culinary traditions of Louisiana. Community® coffee is served in the best New Orleans restaurants and is shared in homes across the South.
When you become a member of the Community Coffee Coffee Club, here is what you can expect.
