btterfly1234 asked:
I’m looking for ONE place to buy a few different brands of coffee. I want to buy only a 1/2 pound bag of Godiva coffee, 1/2 pound of Jamaican wallenford Blue coffee, and 1/2 pound of starbucks coffee. I can’t seem to find a place that sells more than one brand of coffee.

Why is the same coffee taste better from a coffeeshop than homemade?
Flying Hirsch asked:
Hey there. Can anybody tell me, why coffee tastes better, if I buy it in a coffeeshop?
Hey there. Can anybody tell me, why coffee tastes better, if I buy it in a coffeeshop?
For example: If I make myself coffe with exactly the Dunkin’ Donuts coffee ground, they use to make their coffee it doesn’t taste as good as the coffee they sell, by far not. Why? I mean; I used the same one? What do they make different? I have tried out making the coffee with about every ratio of coffee and water, but I really never got the taste!
I hope anybody can help me!
@Mia s: I was talking about plain coffee, without cream and sugar.
Why do some people drink coffee in the evenings?
clown11182 asked:
I never understood that. Coffee drinking seems to be a tradition after finishing dinner with some people, and it’s always offered to my party and I whenever we dine at fancy restaurants, and I don’t understand that. Wouldn’t drinking coffee keep people up at night? (Although I guess that depends how strong the coffee is made.)

Anyway, for me coffee has always been strictly a morning beverage only. It would actually feel strange to me to have it at any other time.

For Coffee Lovers : Coffee Gift Baskets
Masni Rizal Mansor asked:
Coffee sure has come along way since the first coffee shop opened by Kiva Han in 1475. We no longer have just decaf and regular to choose from. Today you can even get a coffee gift basket for loved ones filled with all their favorite flavors. Most all-major coffee brands offer gift baskets on their websites or you can call them direct for more information. You can inquire with your local coffee shops such as Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks, to see if they offer a coffee gift basket, if they don’t chances are they would be happy to help you create one with their products.
If you are more of the creative type, then you may want to create your own coffee gift basket. You can purchase a basket from most any craft store along with the cellophane wrapping to cover the finished product. You can line the bottom of the basket with craft grass or be creative and use coffee filters. You can decorate the outside of the basket to go with any special occasion, whether it is birthday, Christmas or just a thank you gift, it will have that extra personalized touch. Next you will want to pick out some tasty treats to put in your coffee gift basket.
Limitless Options
With so many choices of coffee today, your options of goodies for your coffee gift basket are limitless. There is black coffee, white coffee, lattes, cappuccinos and espressos to name but a few. You can throw in some chocolate covered coffee beans and a coffee mug filled with some flavored chocolate covered spoons to stir in some flavor to any cup of coffee. Biscotti or Rum cake is a nice touch for that special someone to snack on while enjoying the variety of coffees in the coffee gift basket.
Adding a variety of flavored syrups is a nice touch as well. This will give the recipient of the coffee gift basket the choice to mix and match flavors as they choose. There are even some flower shops that offer these types of gift baskets with the special touch of flowers with the coffee. No matter if make the basket yourself or have it made by a pro, a coffee gift basket will be a big hit with even the most finicky of people. The basket will definitely let that certain someone know that they are very much appreciated.

Choosing Gift Baskets for Women
Vivi Andris asked:
Are you at a loss for gifts for women? Valentines Day, Mothers Day and Christmas are just a few occasions for which the solution is a well-prepared gift basket. They can be tailored to many interests from romantic to whimsical. Gift baskets also make wonderful gifts for women getting married, as wedding showers, housewarming baskets and even just a “thank you” or “thinking of you” basket.
Cookies, romantic gift baskets and chocolate can be favorites among gift baskets for women. There’s dried fruit trays, meat and cheese trays and an assortment of other edible gifts.
Women who like scented things might love a gift set with calming scented candles. There are many varieties of bath and spa gift baskets, from lotions and soaps to a “paradise” or “luxury” gift basket. These are even more effective by giving her time to enjoy them thoroughly, without interruptions of kids, the dogs and questions of “what are you doing in there – when’s breakfast?!” While gift baskets for women can be well received, put a note in it stating that you will remove all children from the home for two hours and turn the phone off on the way out the door for some well deserved uninterrupted time!
A well-timed spontaneous “thank you” basket recognizing all she does on a daily basis can be appreciated more than she might admit! Vintage baskets can be a hit with some as well as a “movie night” with popcorn and goodies she doesn’t have to do much to prepare – and coupled with a couple movies she wants to see.
Look at seasonal baskets also for other special gifts. You can also use the gift basket as part of the gift – with the gift basket just being the starting point!
For example, if she is a tea or coffee fan – give a coffee and tea gift basket along with a robe and book she’s been wanting to read and, again, time to enjoy it. If it means taking her away do it – give her uninterrupted time at a nice hotel while you pursue another interest for a few hours.
Women have a wide range of interests and gift baskets for women reflect this. Expect to pay $30 and up, with a wide variety of selections in the $50-80 range. Don’t overlook “theme” baskets. With a relaxing scent basket, tuck in some nature sounds relaxing CDs to further close out the “outside world” even for just a few hours.
Bath baskets can offer bath salts, soaps and lotions, nail and body brushes. Take her interests and ask the gift basket professional for suggestions of something that will be within your budget and yet make her feel special and elegant. They also make a special way to remember that special night you ask her to marry you, with the ring tucked securely into the basket.
Whatever the occasion or relationship, gift baskets for women can be an excellent way to mark a variety of occasions from the “nothing special” reasons “just because” to those moments she’ll remember forever. See which one fits your special lady.
