Gourmet Coffee Gift Baskets - A Fine Cup of Brew


Coffee makers, auto timers and espresso machines wake us up to the aroma of fresh brew. Gourmet coffee gift baskets invite us to sit down and relax a minute before the hustle and bustle of the day begins.

We reach for the Italian specialty cookies in the creative basket and the morning paper, catching up on the latest local and world events. That first cup of joe sends us a personal message that it is going to be a great day for us.

Coffee lovers seek out shops for gourmet coffee blends, flavors, decaf and instant to gratify their tastes. Gourmet hot and cold brews comes with options of adding flavors, cream, and spices, constituting a coffee lovers heaven. You will find, gourmet coffee gift baskets add scrumptious Italian specialty cookies, pastries, chocolate stir spoons and more to increase an already pleasurable experience.

Gourmet coffee gift baskets are specialty gifts for the coffee lovers we know. Gourmet flavored and straight lace coffees are added to creative baskets, along with an assortment of biscotti (Italian specialty cookies), pastries, caramels, and even bon bons. These delightful goodies make special gifts for friend, family, co-workers and clients.

Have you ever wondered how to brew a good pot of coffee? Here are a couple of examples that may make you want to get up earlier, just to enjoy that fine cup of joe.

1. When brewing a pot of coffee, experts recommend two tablespoons of coffee for each six ounces of water. The coffee is best when brewed with filtered water and sipped immediately. Some say the coffee may be poured into a thermos and kept no longer than forty-five minutes for the best flavor, while others recommend cowboy coffee or campfire coffee as being the best brew of all.

2. There are no special pots or gadget to use when brewing cowboy coffee. Start with cold water in a can or enameled pot and add one tablespoon of ground coffee for every cup of water. Bring the water to a boil and remove it from the heat, add a splash of cold water to settle the coffee grounds. Let the coffee stand for a couple of minutes and enjoy the rich flavorful brew.

Being a coffee connoisseur goes back for centuries. People have enjoyed coffee for almost as long as creative baskets have been around. In the Book of Exodus baby Moses was placed in a basket of rough bulrushes coated in pitch and floated down the Nile River by his mother.

In today's world, we still weave, mass manufacture, and use creative baskets for delivering food products to friends and neighbors. Gourmet coffee gift baskets are one way to stay in touch with history, even if the word 'gourmet' was not in our vocabulary years ago.

Your recipients can enjoy a cup of that brew while relaxing and reminiscing about the historically fun times they have had with you. They would enjoy being enticed by a sip of the morning brew in gourmet coffee gift baskets, while devouring their delicious treats. This is one way to let your friends know they are going to have great day.
