But each of them will certainly be interested in trying this unusual variety, which has a rich chocolate flavor and a characteristic smoky aroma. Maragogyip is suitable for those who like coffee with specific shades.

3. Robusta Uganda

Many people cannot imagine their morning without a strong cup of coffee. Would you like to present a truly invigorating coffee to your colleague, boss or friend who works hard? Then choose the African variety Robusta Uganda - it has a high caffeine content and a pronounced taste. By the way, we advise you to pay attention to the degree of roasting - the highest strength has a drink made from heavily roasted grains.

4. Arabica Rwanda

You can discern the unexpected aroma of fresh bread, flavors of milk chocolate, young wine and green apples. Overall it is a very mild, medium-bodied variety with a long-lasting fruity aftertaste and a distinct vanilla flavor.

But as an original gift, it will be very good. This variety has a whole bunch of shades: haze, caramel, spices and even fried vegetables. Like any coffee from Sumatra, it is ideal for preparing espresso.

6. Yemen Mokka Matari

Yemeni Mocha is one of the most popular monosorts in the world. Present this coffee to someone who loves to make coffee in different ways. To feel the bright chocolate shade of this coffee, it is recommended to drink it black and wash it down with cold water. The taste of the drink will reveal even more fully if you cook it in the sand - then it will be very similar to hot chocolate. And if you brew such coffee in a French press, its sweetness and orange aroma will come to the fore.

7. Yellow Bourbon

Yellow Bourbon is a rare Brazilian Arabica that is grown on only a few plantations. Thanks to their unusually thin peel, coffee berries are literally soaked in sunlight. The result is a surprisingly sweet and balanced coffee. The drink has a bright nutty aroma and a pleasant, quickly disappearing sourness.

8. Peberry

Rare and expensive Peaberry will be a worthy addition to the collection of a passionate coffee lover. What is Peaberry? Conventionally, it cannot be called a variety - rather, it is a special kind of coffee beans. Peaberry's small round beans make up a certain percentage of the coffee crop in any country, but Tanzania is the leader in the export of such coffee. The drink has a peculiar bright taste and pronounced sourness.

9. Jamaica Blue Mountain

The blue-green beans of this high-mountainous Jamaican variety are a real exclusive in the world of coffee. This variety is considered one of the best in the world. What is its peculiarity? Coffee beans are transported in rum barrels, so that they are impregnated with a spicy aroma. And the drink itself has a velvety taste with a subtle nutty flavor.

10. Kopi Luwak

The most exotic Kopi Luwak variety in the world will be an exclusive gift for the devoted coffee connoisseur. Give it only if you are sure that the person is ready to try this product. The unique processing that Arabica beans undergo in the digestive tract of small musang animals gives it an incomparable taste and aroma. Kopi Luwak has special shades: smack of butter, nougat, honey, chocolate aroma and light bitterness. It also has an incredibly persistent aftertaste that lasts for several hours.

11. Havana rum

Some drinks are not drunk every day, but only for a special occasion or in a special mood. Coffee with alcohol is an extraordinary combination that men especially like. This "evening" drink helps to relax and warms up, so it is especially popular in the cold season. Coffee with a noble aroma of Havana rum will be a great gift for a close friend or beloved man.

12. Decaffeinated coffee

For some reason, some people refuse to drink caffeine. However, this does not deprive them of the desire to sometimes drink a cup of aromatic coffee. Give such a person a drink with a minimum caffeine content (no more than 0.01%), which retains the rich taste of natural beans. Decaffeinated coffee is a blend containing Arabica beans from South America, Africa and Asia.

13. Flavored coffee

Among coffee lovers, there are certainly lovers of flavored varieties. The taste of coffee, complemented by soft hints of caramel, vanilla or walnut, is especially popular with young girls. Why not give this drink to your little sister or friend? Dessert coffee is made from soft Arabica varieties and has a velvety taste that goes well with milk, cream and various desserts.

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and its consumption is growing every year. This means that coffee can be a versatile gift suitable for almost any occasion. However, what if you need to choose a gift for a real coffee lover who is well versed in an invigorating drink? Do not worry: if you follow the simple rules, you can find a great option that will certainly delight even a sophisticated gourmet!

I am not very knowledgeable about types and varieties of coffee. How do I choose a really good one?

It is quite obvious that the coffee lover needs to present exactly this. But the ideas may end there: a large selection of varieties can lead to despair. If you know your favorite kind of person, whom you are choosing a gift for, that's fine, but what if not?

There are several safe bets:

• Monosort. This is coffee that is grown in a specific country on a specific plantation. The taste of the drink is influenced by a huge number of factors: climatic and geographical conditions, soil composition, and much more. The result is a unique taste that is unlike anything else. For mono varieties, producers select the best grains, so there is no doubt about excellent quality. The name often refers to the country where the coffee grew.
• Espresso blends. If the single varieties consist exclusively of Arabica, then Robusta is often added to the espresso mixture. This is not done to reduce the cost of the final product (well, or not only for it). Robusta stabilizes the taste and adds richness and strength to the drink. As a result, we get an excellent taste regardless of the preparation method. Pay attention to espresso blends fried and packaged in Italy and Sweden - they know a lot about their production here.
• Flavored coffee. Such coffee is often taken as a gift for the fair sex. Three aromas are considered classic, which are perfectly combined with the taste of an invigorating drink: chocolate, vanilla and caramel. Popular flavors of famous drinks such as Baileys and Amaretto liqueurs are incredibly popular, as well as unusual dessert flavors such as tiramisu or Panna Cotta.

Can I put sweets as a gift (and which ones)? Doesn't that offend the taste of a real gourmet?

The rich taste of coffee is great in itself. But over a thousand-year history of consumption, gourmets have developed several combinations that perfectly emphasize its qualities, for example, sweets and spices. Presented with coffee, they can be a wonderful addition to your gift.

• Chocolate. This combination has become so classic that some European coffee shops serve a few pieces of chocolate with every cup of coffee ordered. Chocolate bars or chocolates in beautiful packaging are perfect for a coffee gift.
  We recommend paying special attention to handmade chocolate with the addition of berries. Their light acidity combined with the sweetness of chocolate and invigorating richness of coffee is a real pleasure. Traditional Sicilian chocolate also goes well with the aromatic drink. It is produced by hand using a special technology: as a result, a surprisingly rich taste and an interesting porous consistency are born.
• Honey. An unusual combination of coffee and sweet fragrant honey is becoming more and more popular. Moreover, honey can be served with coffee in beautiful rosettes, or it can be added directly to the drink. We recommend that you consider an unusual honey soufflé as a gift. Its unusual consistency and a huge palette of various flavors will delight the real gourmet.
• Jam. Freshly baked bread, greased with the freshest butter and delicious jam - such additions to coffee are usually served in Italy and France. Therefore, it is not forbidden to put a jar of Italian citrus jam in a gift box for a coffee lover - it will be in place!
• Spice. Spices are absolutely essential if the person to whom you are choosing a gift is a fan of Oriental or Indian coffee. Cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, cloves - all this will give the drink a unique aroma!
• Cane sugar. There is an opinion among gourmets that it perfectly reveals the notes of coffee and softens its characteristic bitterness. For fans of the unusual, you can choose a flavored version of sugar (for example, with lavender or strawberries).

What else can I give besides coffee?

Choosing good coffee is only half the battle. Coffee lovers understand that it also needs to be brewed correctly and served beautifully. Look out for useful accessories to help you prepare and serve a delicious flavorful drink. They will correctly reveal the taste and aroma of the beans and will always be useful for a true coffee lover.

• Geyser coffee maker. An indispensable item for those who love freshly brewed coffee, but do not have enough free time. Delivers great coffee quickly while keeping the stove clean! Italian coffee makers are the quality leaders.
• Cezve. The classic way to make coffee at home. Turkish coffee turns out to be thick and unusually aromatic. Copper Turks are usually beautifully engraved and look very sophisticated, making them a wonderful gift.
• French press. A convenient way to brew coffee in a French press is gaining popularity. If the coffee is ground coarsely enough, the beverage from the French press is rich and strong enough. In addition, it is convenient to brew coffee in a French press in the office or during a picnic.
• Pen for drawings on milk foam. A great gift for creative people! A coffee lover who appreciates not only the taste, but also the appearance of the drink will be happy with such a gift.
• Cups. This gift is good because you can pick up something for every taste and wallet: from democratic minimalist glass to Wedgwood porcelain.

How beautiful to pack a gift with coffee and should you do it?

Compare how much more advantageous the same item looks when it is successfully integrated into a beautiful, elegant and original packaging. This is no longer just a useful item, but a real gift, prepared with care and love.

How can you pack your coffee beautifully?

• Craft box. Perhaps the best packaging option for coffee. Thick craft cardboard will withstand small amounts of water. This is a non-marking and wrinkle-free packaging. In addition, unlike the shiny plastic wrap, it is easy to recycle and is more environmentally friendly in this regard. The porous structure allows the products to breathe; condensation will never accumulate in such packaging. The very touch of the material evokes a feeling of warmth and comfort. Also, these boxes are often decorated with bright themed drawings.

A representative of any profession has his own holiday - a professional one. So, for example, February 6 is Bartender's Day. Such specialists also have their own patron who assists all employees of cafes and restaurants - Amand. Are there bartenders in your circle of acquaintances, friends, relatives, and you do not know what to give for Bartender's Day? Our article will fix that. From it you will learn how to choose a gift for such an occasion and what to give the bartender for Bartender's Day or Birthday.

It may seem that the best present for a bartender is a profession-related attribute, for example, a set of wine glasses, glasses, a gourmet drink or a bartender's set for cocktails as a gift. However, it is not so easy to please a professional.

You can, of course, give such gifts, but it is preferable to choose souvenirs: a candlestick-wine glass, "Cup for the best bartender" with a corresponding engraving.

Representatives of this profession are always in sight, in the spotlight. They are public people, without whom the night life is unthinkable. That is why a jewelry or stylish accessory can be a good answer to the question of what to give a bartender.

Present the hero of the occasion with a certificate of his favorite store. Then he himself will be able to choose something that he certainly needs. Most of the bartenders are sociable and cheerful people.

Therefore, something cool can become an appropriate gift for a bartender for a professional holiday: a funny souvenir, a T-shirt with a spectacular or outrageous inscription, a personalized newspaper or something like that.

What to give a bartender for a bartender's day

Often, people who pour drinks in bars and cafes become closer to many relatives for a parishioner of an institution.

It is no coincidence that Americans have a proverb that says: a bartender is a person who understands you better than his wife. There is some truth in this.

Bartenders are often good psychologists. Forced to communicate with many people by virtue of their profession, to guess their desires, these employees of restaurants and cafes have high empathy.

They literally read the guest, his state, thoughts, feelings. During one shift, bartenders listen to dozens of people with their problems and joys, and sometimes give them good advice.

How to please the bartender on a professional holiday? What to give a bartender for his birthday?

The first association with such a profession is alcohol.

If you want to present a strong drink as a gift, remember that it is difficult to surprise the bartender with something like that. But you will be able to cause genuine surprise if you donate something expensive and very rare.

Maybe the bartender has a favorite drink? Then give it exactly, packing and serving in an interesting way. Decorate the bottle in an original way or present it at the globe-bar. The boundaries in this case are set by your imagination and budget.

Useful presents

Give the bartender those gifts that will help him develop in the profession. It is very important for the person responsible for the image of the bar to constantly work on fine motor skills - to improve it.

It is also important for him to gain new knowledge about the craft. An actual gift for the bartender is a hand trainer in the form of an expander.

He will help the cocktail master get rid of shaking hands, even if he is working the third shift in a row.

Celebrities will add to your friend certificates for attending thematic trainings, master classes, certificates for refresher courses.

When you are going to donate a certificate, consider making the required skill level suitable for your friend.

If the event is addressed to those who have never held a shaker in their hands, a professional will obviously be wasting his time at this event.

Gifts for image and beauty

Give gifts that can make the bartender even more beautiful. In this profession, appearance is the lion's share of success. Naturally, it is more pleasant for the guests of the establishment if they are served by a person with a beautiful appearance. This is what people naturally gravitate towards.

If the bartender is nice, they often come to him and he is more likely to leave a tip. And all this directly affects the level of earnings.

If a friend of the hero of the occasion does not have a uniform, you can present him with wardrobe items. Make a set for the bartender as a gift yourself - from a beautiful shirt, an original T-shirt, stylish accessories.

Another presentation option is a certificate for a certain amount from a clothing store. In the case when the bartender looks informal, including at the workplace, it is appropriate to present him with a certificate for the services of a tattoo parlor.

Presentations for the bartender # 1

In addition to appearance, the bartender must also monitor his own speech. It is important for him to be a pleasant conversationalist, an astute listener.

That is why books on psychology and publications full of humor, quotes from famous and intelligent people will come in handy for the bartender. Everyone is always drawn to interesting people. And you can give something that will whet the interest of others to the bartender.

A person can be carried away by a new occupation, for example, playing chess, stained glass painting, playing the guitar. It is always interesting to listen to those who are fond of some kind of hobby.

A vivid impression as a gift to the bartender

Give the bartender a good mood. His work is emotionally loaded, psychologically difficult, but the bartender always needs to smile at everyone and demonstrate cheerfulness and friendliness.

After all, the impeccable tone of communication is the key to successful work and a good tip.

Cheer up the bartender with a funny poem of your own composition. Il delight him with a video of the bartender, which you or your friends have edited.

for Bartender's Day - 6 ideas

And the bartender will certainly appreciate your gift.

60% of the population of our country starts their day with a cup of coffee. Love for this drink unites men and women, wealthy and not so, young and old. Therefore, if someone cannot choose a gift for a friend for the New Year or Christmas, you can choose a present on the coffee theme. Fortunately, the modern industry loves to pamper coffee lovers and regularly releases some interesting novelties. We will talk about the most original of them in our review.

In the meantime, readers are looking at coffee makers and cups, we will tell you the most interesting facts about coffee. For example, if today doctors warn their patients against the frequent use of an invigorating drink, then in the 17th century people believed in the healing properties of coffee. Tsar Alexei was prescribed a drink for a runny nose and headache, and in the East, coffee cured gout, poor eyesight and scurvy.

If you believe the ancient doctors, and take into account how much coffee Balzac drank (up to 60 cups a day), then he can be considered a very healthy person in absentia. Not far from him left Beethoven and Voltaire, who exacerbated their addiction, increasing the strength of the drink.

It must be admitted that the physicians of the 17th century soon stopped overestimating coffee and believing in its healing powers. Moreover, during the reign of the Swedish king Gustav III, courtiers used to say that tea and coffee were killed. The curious ruler decided to check this statement and ordered the two imprisoned brothers to be given coffee and tea every day. Each was assigned three cups of a certain drink each day. As a result, the prisoners survived both the king and the doctors who watched them.

Today coffee has become one of the most popular drinks. Mexicans add cinnamon to the drink, Italians add sugar, the Swiss drink coffee with hot chocolate, Ethiopians add salt to the invigorating liquid, and the Egyptians prefer natural espresso without additives. Here, as they say, there is no comrade for taste and color.
