1. Keurig Single Serve gourmet coffee machine
You can't go wrong with this gift idea. Small enough to fit in a home office or back room, the single serve unit combines convenience with incredibly good coffee. The removable reservoir is filled with water that is kept warm for fast service. Simply pop in the "k-cup" and press the brew button.
One of the most wonderful things about the Keurig is the huge variety of k-cups available. Be sure to include a pretty basket for the counter to hold a good sample of different blends and flavors.
2. Froth Au Lait hot milk frother for gourmet coffee topping
Who wouldn't love hot frothed milk on top of their gourmet coffee, hot cocoa or desserts? This small counter-sized unit makes professional-style froth with just the touch of a button. No more guess work, no more mess, just two to six servings of rich, thick froth in no time.
It's safer than traditional froth making tools, too, with a "no-steam" design that prevents accidental scalding.
3. Lavazza Espresso Point Mini for the bride and groom
Even if they already have a regular coffee brewing system, they will delight in a machine that brews gourmet espresso and cappuccino in minutes. The Lavazza machines are solidly built and brew a terrific tasting cup of gourmet coffee indulgence. Add a good assortment of cartridges with your gift, to increase their enjoyment.
4. Gourmet coffee in beans, pods or capsules
Any true coffee lover will appreciate a variety of blends and flavors. Just be sure to check what kind of machine they brew with, so you can choose the right type of coffee. If they use a traditional brewing method or French press, go with whole beans and a good, high quality stainless steel grinder.
If they already have a single serve cartridge or pod-style machine, buy the coffee in that format. It will never be wasted, and they'll think nice thoughts of you with each cup.
Before buying anything for the gourmet coffee lover in your life, do your homework. Find out what they have, how often they enjoy coffee drinks, and some of their favorite blends and flavors. Then buy the best gift you can afford, to give them a great value and a wonderful gourmet coffee experience.
