Coffee Clubs - A Gift For Those That Have Everything

Everyone knows someone that has everything. And when their birthday or the holidays roll around, it's always near impossible to think of the perfect gift for them. You don't want to buy them something they already have, something that they won't like, or go the impersonal route and get a gift certificate. Instead, what about coffee? For the millions of people that love a daily cup of joe, the gift of fresh roast coffee would be met with a warm reception. First of all, you know they are going to use it, since they are already having a cup of coffee every morning. Second of all, as long as you know generally what type of coffee they like, and if they take caffeinated or decaf, you're most of the way there. Finally, does the person like to try new things? If so, you have a little more leeway. If not, you'll have to stick to what they're used to.

If the person you are buying for does in fact love coffee, then you have lots of options at your disposal. Sure, some of those options are probably out of your price range, like the La Marzocco GS3 espresso machine, but there are still lots of affordable coffee gifts to give. There are much more affordable coffee machines and espresso makers that you could purchase, as well as single cup brewers and French presses. There is something special about brewing your own cup of coffee, especially if you grind the beans yourself. In fact, that is another great gift to give-a coffee grinder. There is nothing like getting up in the morning and grinding some coffee beans. The aroma it gives off wakes you up instantly and makes you want that first cup of coffee right there and then.

For those that are a little less do-it-yourself, another great gift idea is membership to one of the many great coffee clubs. This sort of membership will often entail a new brew sent fresh to the recipient's door on a weekly or monthly basis. It's a great proposal, since you always have a new blend to try. And since it comes at various intervals, it's not going to get stale. You'll always have a fresh cup of coffee to start the day with every morning. So don't worry if you've got someone on your gift list that seemingly has everything. If they like coffee, you have all sorts of gift ideas at your disposal!
