Hi.

Welcome to Lattes, Life & Luggage! Iā€™m Christine and I share my adventures traveling and navigating this crazy thing we call life.

Holiday Gift Guides: For the Coffee Addict

Holiday Gift Guides: For the Coffee Addict

You know there is no way we could have gone through the season, gift guide after gift guide, and not include one dedicated to the coffee maniacs out there. It would practically be a crime! Coffee to all of us caffeine addicts, is more than just an energy boost. It's also about the experience. From the smell of the freshly ground beans to the first scalding sip smoothly sliding down your throat, it's an intoxicating experience that permeates all of your senses. It awakens every cell in your body to make the day just a little brighter. The gift of coffee, to an addict, is a treasure. I'm not talking about grabbing the cheapest can of grounds from the corner store. I'm talking about curated subscription boxes with beans, blends and roasts from every corner of the world. The masterminds behind each of these subscriptions know what it means to be in a love affair with coffee and they have each perfected their own way of bringing it into our homes. 

*Lattes, Life & Luggage received products included in this gift guide complimentary for an honest review. No additional compensation was received.

Angels' Cup
Angels' Cup believes that technology is a powerful tool for developing a sharper sense of taste. Their mobile and web applications are designed to allow an individual to discover similarities between brew methods, processing techniques, varietals and more. Angels' Cup offers three subscription options. The Cupping Box includes 4 smaller samples , the Black Box offers 4 larger samples and the All Stars option gives you a full bag each delivery. Choose between whole bean, coarse ground or finely ground beans and a delivery schedule of weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. The gift of a subscription once or twice a month over the next three months is a fantastic way to show someone you're thinking about them other than just around Christmas time. 

Bean Box
Bean Box is dedicated to bringing caffeinated delight and the world's finest artisan coffees to their customers in every Bean Box. They spend their days writing about coffee, tasting new roasts, planning new boxes and shipping coffee to their customers. Bean Box's coffee experts hand pick roasts every month, including artful blends and single origin coffees from 20 world-renowned roasters. Every Bean Box features freshly-roasted whole bean coffee, tasting notes, roaster profiles, brewing tips and an artisan treat. Choose between the Bean Box Coffee Sampler, which features four roasts at 1.8 oz. each, or the Coffee of the Month, which features a 12 oz. bag. Gift a subscription to the addict in your life or choose from one of their tailored gift options like Gifts for Espresso Lovers.

Creama.co
Discover the best specialty roasters from across the USA. Crema.co firmly believes that coffee is a community, not a commodity and they're on a mission to empower farmers, roasters and coffee drinkers to truly live well. A subscription starts with a few questions. What's your favorite roast level? What taste do you dig? Which coffee looks best? You're able to curate a brew list which then becomes your subscription queue of sorts. Choose your delivery frequency and each delivery you will receive a whole bag of single origin beans roasted to order. It's a fantastic way to support the coffee community and mix up your regular cup a'joe as often as you'd like.

MistoBox
MistBox is a perfectly curated box meant just for you. Your coffee curator reviews your preferences and selects coffee for you from 300+ coffees. It's then fresh-roasted to order by one of their 34 amazing artisan coffee roasters before being shipped right to your door. When you get a MistoBox coffee subscription, you get matched with a coffee curator - a coffee expert who learns the kind of coffee you like and sends you coffee based on your preferences. It's never too late to give the gift of a subscription for Christmas. Choose subscription gift plans from 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. 

That is the last of our gift guides. I hope we were helpful this holiday season! Make sure you come back next week because it's all about planning right for the new year.
