How to choose and arrange coffee as a gift?

According to many polls of various sizes, one of the most frequent gifts, presentations, and signs of attention is coffee. A fragrant drink that you fall in love with once and for all is rarely out of place. Coffee as a gift is the case when you need something that is not very expensive, and at the same time useful, necessary. The decoration of the gift is also important - just putting it in a bag is not at all original, but the aesthetics of donation is also held in high esteem. But it's worth starting with how to choose the right coffee.

You rarely find good coffee in the mass market. To do this, you need to look into a coffee shop, and finally, for this you need to be "in the know." If you know that the person to whom the gift is intended only brews coffee in a Turk, kemex or press, he can be delighted with plantation coffee. Sorts from small auctions, where small farms are engaged in the sale of the crop, are increasingly appearing on sale. The drink has a very rich taste, and its bouquet will be appreciated by a true coffee lover.

The most preferred varieties are Colombia Excelso Sierra Nevada, Brazil Ipanema Dulce.

Secrets of choice:

• if the person to whom the coffee is meant is a person of quick things, in an eternal rush, over-busy, give him an espresso mixture;
• if you know that a person loves coffee, but is happy to use it at work, where there is an opportunity to drink only an instant drink, give just such - among them there are also elite varieties;
• for those who have a coffee machine, freshly roasted Italian coffee is a good gift.

There are mono-varieties of coffee: such a product is grown in a specific country and on a specific plantation. Climate, geography, soil composition, and so on, affect the final outcome of the drink. It turns out, indeed, an original taste.

Espresso mixes, unlike monos, consist not only of arabica, they are often tried to be supplemented with robusta. The ingredients stabilize the taste. Italy and Sweden are leaders in the production of espresso blends.

Flavored coffee is often given to women. Three aromas are called classics of the genre - vanilla, chocolate, caramel. There is no need to specifically add syrup to such coffee: you can immediately buy coffee with the taste of Baileys liqueur, for example.

It's great if you decide to present ground coffee (or any other) in a set: that is, the drink itself plus an addition to it. Of course, the components of the gift should be related thematically.

To give coffee in an original way, you can supplement it with various sweets.

• Chocolate. Well, where can we go without this textbook solution! If you've been to European cafes, you might have noticed that even a cup of coffee is often served (free) a couple of slices of chocolate. Present chocolate with special flavors, beautifully presented. Bitter, milky, porous - a variety of options will do.

• Honey. You are wrong if you think this sweet addition is only suitable for tea. A beautiful jar of honey (which also has a huge variety of varieties) is always convincing and not very commonplace.

• Jam, jam. They can also go well with a coffee party. Especially if you cooked them yourself: a natural dessert can be beautifully decorated by wrapping the lids with napkins and tied with ribbons.

• Spices. Be sure to put them as a gift if the person to whom it is meant loves Indian or Oriental coffee. Cardamom, cloves, allspice and of course cinnamon will complete the gift.

• Cane sugar... It is believed that it allows the taste of coffee to open up more than the usual white refined sugar. And also cane sugar is able to soften the bitterness present in coffee.

• Candies. Probably the first option in frequency. These can be sets of chocolates with liqueur, waffle, nut or brandy filling. If the gift is for a foreigner, give him candy that is considered a brand of your sweet industry.

• Marshmallow / marshmallow. Pleasant, delicate delicacies, which also have many admirers. Many will not refuse to taste the viscous marshmallow or marshmallow in chocolate with a cup of coffee. Fortunately, these products are also produced today in rather interesting packages. There is no need to think about how to beautifully pack a present, sweets are originally in presentable boxes.

Another way to be considered original is to hand over a coffee bouquet. You will have to practice a little before you can arrange such a bouquet beautifully and reliably. Although there are options, as they say, for beginners. The main thing is to pack a pack (packs) of coffee, sweets in cellophane, fix everything together with a good bandage, and then pick up the packaging, as if you were doing it in relation to a flower bouquet.

It will be even easier to make a coffee bouquet in a basket. You've probably seen what flowers look like in a small basket (it can be with or without a handle). You also need to purchase one, you can lay it out inside a beautiful openwork napkin. A can (pack) of coffee, a package of flavored sugar (it is sold today in the form of a bridge, a heart - cinnamon, lemon, wild berries, and so on), sweets are also sent there.

This is a very popular way of presenting a gift today. Boxes look like souvenirs. You need a box, or better a small plywood box. But it must be quite roomy in order for it to include a pack of coffee, as well as a dessert with a mug. If you are giving capsules for a coffee machine, it is also beneficial to present them in the gift box.

Laying on a flat plywood surface is not an option. You need special decorative shavings that perfectly fill the space.

In the gift box, you can fit many more useful themed items.

• Mugs. And remember what coffee cups really should be - small, graceful, fragile in appearance. If it is a set (cup, saucer), it’s not bad either.

• Biscuits. Grab the tastiest biscuits by weight. Better yet, bake it yourself according to a proven recipe! If the New Year is coming, then gingerbread cookies plus your favorite coffee are just a recipe for good mood and salvation from the winter blues. Pack the cookies in cellophane, tie them with ribbons.

• Syrup. Many people cannot refuse a couple of drops of aromatic syrup in coffee, because it is really delicious. You can take mini-bottles and suggest several flavors at once.

• Turk. As already mentioned, there are never many of them. It can be a Turk with a gift engraving, with an unusual pen, and so on. A pack of coffee, turk, sweetness is a win-win option for any occasion.

• Coffee card... You yourself can make a postcard out of designer cardboard by “bathing” it in a coffee aroma.

• Book. The book is known to be the best gift. And this is so: a cup of coffee and an interesting book - these are the little things in life, which, in fact, are not at all trivialities. If you have any idea how you can please your loved one, choose just such a pair: coffee and a book.

• Marshmallows. It's almost a marshmallow, only lighter, smaller and often cuter. This delicious decoration looks more than appetizing on coffee with milk. If you still do not have a classic Instagram photo - a hand with a cup of coffee and inviting festive marshmallows on its foam, do it urgently, it will cheer you up.

• Montpensier. Retro candy cans are back in fashion. You open such a cute, touching tin, and there are sugar-powdered caramels - a beauty that you immediately want to take into your mouth. There is something nostalgically sweet about it. Older people who remember how valuable these cans were will surely appreciate this addition to coffee.

As you can see, gift decoration is a significant part of it. Even the platitudes that you present as a sign of attention play with completely different colors, if you decorate them with taste and imagination. The anticipation of opening a gift, unwrapping wrappers and ribbons is also a pleasure, and you can give it as a gift. And coffee from such a serving seems to become even tastier!
