Coffee suggestions?

pelirrojo

Seeing that this place is Chock full o' nuts, I thought you all might have some suggestions for me. I'm thinking I'm going to get my parents some various coffees and sweets for Christmas. I've been looking around at Green Mountain, Caribou, Koa, etc... Are there any coffees out there that would make for a good gift or that you really like?

I think this years Starbucks Christmas blend is a truly great cup of coffee. We bought a bunch of it and will freeze it.

If you can find some Jamacian coffee (it will be terribly expensive because the Japaneese get nearly 100% of all these beans) they will be in for a treat.

Keurig?

No, not a Keurig.

If they like "full-bodied" coffee, I highly recommend Peets. They have a variety of nice holiday gifts featuring their awesome once a year Holiday Blend (excellent coffee) and they often offer free shipping for orders over $40.

Peets +1, though I've only tried the varieties sold at the grocery store.

Green Welll Farms 100pct Kona coffee is the way to go. Expensive, but like a good cigar, very worth it. I gave my folks 5lbs again this year. Full city or dark roast is excellent. Their website greenwellfarms.com has a lot of gift options.

If you can find it Blue Bottle Coffee from the, you guessed it, Blue Bottle Coffee Company, I hear is pretty outstanding. Dont think it is cheap from what I have heard. Being a native Californian I also reccomend See's Candy. It is always a hit.
