Questions people ask

What is a good coffee gift if I don't know how they brew?

A bag of fresh beans from a good roaster, or a roaster gift card. Both work with any brewer.

Are coffee subscriptions a good gift?

Yes, for someone who enjoys trying new coffees. Onyx's starts at $65 and sends fresh bags for the length you choose.

Is a burr grinder a good gift?

Yes, if they still buy pre-ground or use a blade grinder. A hand burr grinder like the Timemore Chestnut C3s ($89) is an affordable big upgrade.

When should I order coffee gifts to arrive before the holidays?

Order by early December for standard shipping. Order beans closer to the day so they arrive fresh, or give a gift card.
