Coffee is a gift almost anyone can enjoy. But which coffee should you choose if you don’t know what someone likes? Follow these four steps to find a gift that’s just right.
Step 1: know how they brew
Does the recipient make filter coffee, for example with a V60 or AeroPress? Or espresso with a machine? You’ll want to choose different beans for filter and espresso. If you’re not sure, ask them or see what they have at home. Learn more about the methods in which brewing method is right for you?
Step 2: choose a safe flavor
Not sure about the flavor? A medium roast with notes of chocolate and nuts suits many people. Fruitier, lighter-roasted coffees are great for anyone looking for adventure. See which coffee is right for me?
Step 3: offer variety
Several small bags let someone discover what they like. Our Best Sellers offer a well-balanced variety of our best-selling coffees, with classic flavors in light, medium, and dark roasts. You can choose whether they’re roasted for filter or espresso, and whether you want 2, 3, or 4 bags.
Step 4: make it personal
Write a note explaining why you chose these coffees. A few words make the gift extra personal.
Keep in mind: coffee beans and a grinder
Our coffees are whole beans, so the recipient will need to grind them. If they don’t have a grinder, this might not be the best choice. Want to give them a grinder? Read which hand grinder is right for you?
