As Taste of Home’s resident gifting expert, I’ve tested my fair share of gift baskets and care packages. While chocolate, charcuterie and, heck, even soup can create a meaningful present, there’s one thing I always hope to find under those layers of cellophane and paper filler: Coffee!Â
Yes, coffee gift baskets exist. And, honestly, they’re one of my favorite things to send a long-distance family member or a friend who’s going through a hard time. They’re great for college students who need a pick-me-up during exam season or anyone else who could use a (caffeinated!) pep in their step.
Plus, while fresh beans or grounds are typically the star of the show, many coffee gift baskets feature tasty add-ons like cookies, pastries and candies. Others include coffee-making supplies, like an Aeropress or cute mug.
We scoured the internet to uncover the best of the best. Our research involved reading countless reviews, evaluating value and chatting with experts for their recommendations. Many of the products and brands on this list were also tested by our staff.
For the Office Worker
Coffee Break Gift Box
Need a gift for your co-worker? How about a friend that just got a new job? Heck, we bet even your boss would appreciate this coffee break gift box. It’s laden with all sorts of goodies to get them through a long day, like dipped peanuts, kettle corn, sea salt caramels, cookies and single-serve coffee bags. I’ve tested several boxes from Gourmet Gift Baskets and can confirm that the quality is top-notch. Desk-side snacking has never tasted this good!
For the Sweet Tooth
Cookies and Coffee Bundle
I will likely never shut up about how much I love Levain cookie delivery. And these behemoth treats only get better when paired with a 12-ounce bag of the caffeinated good stuff in this cookies and coffee bundle. You’ll get four cookies in your choice of flavors. I highly recommend the Signature Assortment that includes dark chocolate chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, dark chocolate peanut butter chip and the iconic chocolate chip walnut.
For the Traveler
Coffee Around the World Sampler
When wanderlust strikes, give a gift that satisfies their travel craving. Our editors tried (and loved) Bean Box‘s fresh java subscription, so you can rest assured that the World Coffee Tour is just as good. It includes 12 expertly curated coffees, tasting notes and brewing tips—all wrapped up in a travel-themed box. We love that you can choose between whole beans or grounds for this experience, too.Â
For the Coffee-Loving Couple
Coffee and Chocolate Pairing Box
Date night (or morning!) just got more exciting, thanks to this delightful coffee and chocolate pairing box. Put your tastebuds to the test as you sample three global coffees and three vegan chocolate bars. You’ll also uncover tasting tips, pairing recommendations and tons of information on how the coffee is grown and roasted. I’ve tested this experience, and it’s a great way to learn something new in the comfort of your home.
For the Dog Lover
Sunrise Rescue Gift Pack
Dog lovers, this one’s for you. Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. gives back to pups with every purchase, and this Sunrise Rescue gift pack is a present you can feel good about purchasing. It includes three adorably named coffee blends—Morning Walk, Paper & Slippers and Alpha Blend—plus a mug and tote bag.Â
For the Breakfast Club
Best of the Bakery Crate
Bringing breakfast just got way easier. Whether you’re coordinating an office birthday celebration or toting a get well care package to a loved one, this best of the bakery set will start the day on a high note. Come for the ground coffee, stay for the bounty of freshly baked pastries. With a mountain of English muffins, kringle, coffee cake, blondies, waffles and scones, there’s truly something for everyone.
For the Latte Lover
Latte Gift Set
Skip the drive-through and get your morning fix with this latte gift basket. Enjoy four flavors—classic black, vanilla, churro and salted caramel. I’ve tried Copper Cow’s coffee Advent calendar in the past, and I love the single-serve pour-over design. And, the included condensed milk creamer packets make it easy to tailor each latte to your preferred level of sweetness.Â
For the Cold Brew Queen
Cold Brew Variety Pack
No time to let cold brew steep? No problem. This cold brew variety pack offers concentrated bottles in a variety of caffeine levels. I’ve tested the caffeine-free “Daydreamer” brew and can confirm it’s some of the tastiest decaf on the market. Plus, prepping your morning cup couldn’t be easier. Simply add water or milk, stir and enjoy!
For the One on the Go
Aeropress Brew Anywhere Kit
I tested Bean & Bean while researching the best coffee subscriptions, and this brand knows a thing or two about making a delicious cup of joe. This coffee gift basket—complete with an AeroPress coffee maker, 12-ounce bag of the Downtown Blend, tote bag and two single-serve steep bags—is perfect for the person who wants to try a new brew method or craft delicious coffee on the go. As a bonus, every purchase helps save sloths!Â
