Welcome back to CoffeeNate.com for my holiday coffee gift ideas special!  With all of the hustle and bustle, wouldn’t you rather have the gifts automatically shipped to your door for cheaper than going out into the crowds?  I know that is what I prefer, and each year I do the vast majority of my shopping online.   To help you out, I’ve come up with a few recommendations for anyone on your list that likes, loves, or otherwise appreciates coffee on some level.  You should also know that I own and love all of the gifts that I am recommending!  These are also great ideas for that really difficult person to buy for, you know the one that already has everything and doesn’t spare themselves from anything.  These are somewhat unique gifts for the ordinary coffee drinker.  You can browse the gifts I’m talking about in the above widget, but I’ll list each one for you below.  I wanted to keep the prices low, while keeping the quality of the merchandise high.  Most items are below $50 and will bring a smile to their faces and a warmth to their bellies 🙂

It’s really funny that I sang a few bars of Neil Diamond to open the show!  Now Neil Diamond is a trending topic of Twitter…lol.    This week I received two pounds of Kuhlman’s Koffee, one of their Ethiopian Natural Organic Sidamo Guiji and a package of Fair Trade Sumatra Mandheling.  The packaging doesn’t carry any organic or fairtrade certified seals, but the company says that it is certified fairtrade and some are certified organic while others are organic, but not certified.   I found the organic Ethiopian to be [Read more…]

Howdy, glad you have visited me this week for my review of Berres Brothers Coffee! I received two packages of their coffee, one was the Ethiopian, and the other was a flavored blend called Highlander Grog.  I’ve been on a bit of an Ethiopian coffee kick as of late, purley unintentional mind you, but I have must say that this region has grown on me…along with the lighter roast.  I’ve tasted a few companies’ versions of the Ethiopian region and I must say that Berres Brothers is [Read more…]
