Coffee Gift Baskets Offer Hint Of Available Flavors
If you really want to make a coffee drinker's day, give them coffee gift baskets for all gif-giving occasions. Not necessarily the ones that have a coffee cup with cute sayings on them, how the coffee is served is not nearly as important as the type of coffee. Many coffee gift baskets offer a variety of coffees from different parts of the coffee growing world and will provide a sampling of different flavors. While they may never seek out and purchase quantities of the individual flavors, they can at least determine which flavors they find appealing.
In addition to a variety of coffee flavors, some coffee gift baskets also include snacks that traditionally are served with coffee. Depending on the country of origin, the snacks can seem somewhat traditional or really out on a limb. Some countries serve certain foods with their coffee that other countries would never consider as belonging together. Similar to Europe's tea and crumpets, coffee and donuts in America are the most common complimentary combinations.
Many of the commercial chains offer coffee gift baskets with an assortment of their own coffee blends, hoping the choice of gifts will entice the recipient to visit a local outlet and purchase more of their favorite blend. Their line of thinking is that once a person tries a blend they like, they may be hooked enough to want more.
One Serving Typical Quantity In Gift Basket
Typically, coffee gift baskets will have anywhere from four to 12 different types of coffee, each one measured to make about six to eight cups of coffee. Some will also contain whole beans for the recipient to grind on their own, as a way to show how the fresh ground coffee flavor differs from the traditionally ground beans.
The strength of most coffee is determined by the amount of grounds used in the brew and the servings in coffee gift baskets usually produce an average strength drink if made according to the directions. For those who prefer a stronger drink, packages designed to make eight cups of coffee can be made with only enough water for six cups, adding to the strength of the finished brew.
Depending on how much the intended recipient enjoys coffee as well as the givers budget, coffee gift baskets are available for a variety of costs. From under $5 to those costing in the hundreds can be found with some unusual blends available.
