Fresh Gifts for Coffee Lovers
The great thing about giving coffee beans as a last minute gift, is that they are at their freshest! In fact, if you are giving coffee as a gift, you should wait till the last possible minute so that the beans were roasted within 3 to 10 days. That’s good news for procrastinators like me.
A half pound of home roast or your favorite beans from a local roaster is a beautiful gift, especially when wrapped up in a decorative jar. I love using classic Ball canning jars or jars with a hinged lid. Look for glass containers with a good rubber seal to help keep the flavor in the beans. Be sure to find out if your recipient has a grinder… if not, you can pre-grind the beans for them as long as you know how they will be brewing them. Grind finer for espresso or French Press.
Also, be sure to label the type of beans, noting the date that they were roasted.
