Inexpensive Gift Ideas For Coffee Lovers

Kona Coffee grows only on the slopes of two of the volcanos in Hawaii and is considered to be one of the top gourmet coffees of the world.  It's more expensive than most other varieties of coffee partly because of its limited supply but also because of its high quality.   

Kona coffee beans are hand-picked because machinery-picking is difficult on the slopes where it grows.  But that also means that only the best and ripest berries are picked which is the reason behind its high quality.

Because of its cost, many people shy away from buying kona coffee for themselves for every day drinking. Therefore it makes a great special gift for the coffee lover.   It is not expensive compared with many other gifts you might buy, and it will be a treat for someone who would not normally spend the money to buy it themselves.

I love this wall calendar that celebrates vintage coffee posters!  The graphics are bright and bold, and pleasing to the eye.

The poster art featured here is from the early to mid-1900s, during a time when many advertisements were works of art in and of themselves.   These coffee advertisement posters with their whimsical illustrations represent a few different countries.

In this indispensable coffee drink book,  Susan Zimmer shares expert advice and techniques on subjects such as how to brew the perfect cup, how to make a basic cappuccino without a machine, and tips for making masterful latte art designs.

There are many different gift basket choices that you can choose from for your coffee-loving friends and family, ranging from smaller and more affordable, to higher priced options.  

The gift basket below is representative of a number of baskets that are available through Amazon, and is on the less expensive side compared to other gift baskets. It comes with a few samples of coffees and coffee drink mixes, and some other treats such as cookies, toasted almonds, and biscotti.   The contents may vary, depending on what the company has on hand, and are packaged up in an attractive caddy that can be used later for home or office organization.
