Giving Friends Fair Trade Coffee Gifts

If you're not a coffee connoisseur but know someone who is mad about their coffee, then you may be interested in the sorts of coffee gifts you might give, since you know that will really please them.

Hold onto your hat, though, because the massive coffee industry of growing beans and creating the drink has spawned an entire secondary industry of coffee-related equipment and gifts in which you can become quite lost. If you want to give a gift, it's likely not enough just to buy coffee at some specialty store. You'll really need to research accessories too.

When contemplating coffee gifts, the world of accessories is another wide arena to play in. If you know your friend wants a coffee grinder of their own, and you can afford a very expensive gift, you might consider one of the masters in the field, the KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Grinder KPCG100, that has 15 different grind sizes.

But you may prefer to be a little more modest, buying a sleek pot or a package of gourmet coffee in a gift cup.

If your friend has a green thumb, then you might even give one of the most unusual coffee gifts of all, a coffee plant of their own. Some plant nurseries provide these plants, which will grow the beans under the right conditions.

Your friend can harvest this fruit in the autumn, roast in a homemade coffee roaster, and then grind their own coffee. It won't be gourmet, necessarily, but it can be fun and interesting.

As you research the types of coffee-related gifts you might give your friend, be sure to explore these unique ideas as well as more traditional gifts.
