For coffee lovers, whats not to love in gourmet coffee? For those who are hooked on coffee, gourmet coffee is what gets the day off to a good start, and it picks us up in the middle of the day. Coffee has been around for thousands of years. Gourmet coffee however, has been around for less than one hundred years, and it has fast become the favorite of millions of coffee connoisseurs throughout the world.

There are hundreds of different types of gourmet coffee. These include Colombian coffee which has a bold, strong flavor, with a rich aroma guaranteed to satisfy every coffee lover. There are also flavored gourmet coffees, which include French Vanilla, Toasted Almond, Cookies and Crème, and Hazelnut. The gourmet coffee lover can enjoy specialty coffee such as Pumpkin Spice, a rich savory coffee that is like a slice of pumpkin pie. These types of gourmet coffees are not available year round. My opinion of some of the best coffee comes from Kona, Hawaii. Now that is gourmet coffee to die for. Of course, I am biased, since I sell 100% Pure Gourmet Coffee from Kona, Hawaii.

When you do a Google search for gourmet coffee, you will find that there are a variety of Internet sites that are dedicated to it. The Internet sites offer specials and discount just for trying their coffee. These offers include a special type of coffee maker designed especially for one brand of gourmet coffee.

When driving through small town America, and a roadside coffee shop pops up on the horizon, one can imagine how the bigger chains got started. The bigger gourmet coffee shops have teams of coffee roasters who are dedicated to creating new and delicious flavors of coffee.

The gourmet coffee consumer will undoubtedly look forward to all of the new flavors that are created. The true gourmet coffee consumer will travel out of their way to try a great cup of coffee that they heard mention of either in conversation or through a crowd. Virtually at any event, sporting or otherwise, college of professional, there are gourmet coffee shops everywhere. The Gourmet Coffee consumer will unquestionably look forward to all of the new flavors that are created.

True gourmet coffee can offer a unique experience that is different from other coffee experiences. Although the consumer can often find gourmet coffee in stores and coffee shops, there is nothing quite like brewing your own. When you are making gourmet coffee at home, you will need whole coffee beans, (grinding the beans just before brewing insures the freshest coffee) fresh spring water, light cream and sugar. These are the key ingredients for the freshest, best tasting cup of coffee you will ever taste.

Planning a wedding and want a unique wedding favor to send home with your guests? Coffee wedding favors are a very popular and unique item that will be used with joy. Don’t get something that will just sit on a shelf and collect dust or worse yet get put in the back closet and your guests home. By giving a wedding coffee favor you can ensure that you are giving your guests something they will use. Not only will they enjoy using the gift they will enjoy thinking about the wonderful memories and fun times they had at the wedding as they sip their wonderful full bodied flavorful coffee.

Well, if you are already sold on coffee wedding favors then you will want to read through this article for some easy ideas to really make unique and outstanding wedding favors.

Coffee- This is the obvious place to start as it will be the central theme to your wedding favor. You should try and plan the theme of the wedding first and then select a coffee that goes along with that theme. For example an easy one would be if you are getting married in Maui or even having a Hawaiian theme wedding you will want to use Kona Coffee in your wedding favor basket. If you have not yet selected a theme for the wedding another thing you can do is look for a local coffee roaster and purchase from them. This will give you guests a little taste of the local area and it supports your local businesses also. Of course if neither of these easily fit into your wedding and still do not strike an idea for you a third option would be to choose your own favorite flavor of coffee. Do you love a certain blend at your local coffee shop or maybe something fancy from Starbucks? Well, choose this as your coffee. As forethought you might want to purchase both regular caffeinated coffee and some decaffeinated.

Next you will want to add some personal touches and make the coffee wedding favor really stand out. There are so many ways to do this but we will give you just a few. These are mostly just to spark ideas for you that you will hopefully use and alter or personalize to suit your own needs.

Coffee Packaging – If at all possible it is a very classy to personalize the favors. You can print a computer label or purchase from a shop that will do this for you. Putting things like the Bride and Groom’s Name, date and location of the wedding can be a nice touch. IF you are doing this yourself adding in the guests name can also be a lot of fun. To easily make a label you can look around online for free clip art and then just customize it with your own colors and writing.

Mugs – If you would like to round out the coffee wedding favor and expand from the basics a little bit more purchasing coffee mugs can be a quick and easy edition. You can easily purchase customized mugs to any color you would like. You can also add a picture easily to custom mugs and have the bride and groom smiling at everyone as they drink their coffee wedding favor.

Stir Spoons – But a large bunch of plastic spoons and drip them into melted chocolate. Then wrap these spoons with tulle and add a beautiful ribbon that matches the colors of the wedding. Now you are taking the gift from a oh! Nice to a WOW level.

Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans – Another fun addition can be a personalized bag of chocolate covered coffee beans. These can easily be purchased in bulk and then put into a tin or bag and customized with a quick label on the computer.

Chocolates – There are not many coffee drinkers in the world that would turn down a wonderful elegant chocolate in addition to their coffee. You do not need to place too many chocolates in with the coffee but a few high quality chocolates nicely wrapped with a ribbon can go a long way to add class.

Hot Chocolate – Have a lot of guests with young children coming to the wedding? If so you might want to include some fun hot chocolate with the favor and this way the children can join in on the fun also!

Teas – If you are worried about those non-coffee drinkers out there are there are always a few you can appease this crowd by placing a nice tea or some tea bags in with the gift.

Chocolate covered almonds – Chocolate covered almonds can be purchased in bulk in a wide variety of colors and finding one that matches the colors of the wedding and again making tins of them can be a fun addition to the coffee wedding favor.

As you can see coffee wedding favors are a great ideas that can become very creative by adding a few simple touches of class to them. Hopefully the ideas above will spark something for you and you will be off and working on creating your own custom wedding favor. Just think about all the people who the morning after the wedding will wake up and enjoy the wonderful coffee wedding favor you have so lovingly prepared for them.

Each year, the National Coffee Association of the USA publishes their report on National Coffee Drinking Trends. The report has become one of the bibles of the coffee industry. The 2008 report has recently been made available, and the NCAUSA web site gives a brief summary of what the organization has found out about how we Americans like our coffee. Here are some highlights from the 2008 Coffee Drinking Trends report:

17% of the adult population consumed a gourmet beverage on a daily basis in 2008 and 14% in 2007.

Drinking gourmet coffee has become a national pastime. It’s not just the explosion of Starbucks across the nation that’s fueling it, though their marketing has certainly awakened the taste buds of a whole generation. These days, you can buy your gourmet coffee at any number of places. Here are just of the few ‘new’ outlets for gourmet coffee.
McDonalds, which started selling Newman’s Own Organic coffee a while back, has started marketing the McDonalds Café concept, with lattes, cappuccinos and McDonalds Gourmet coffee as of January 2008.
Burger King’s BKJoe brand is roasted by Douwy Egberts, the second largest coffee roaster in the world, expressly for BK.
Target, the national department store chain, packages and distributes its own brand of gourmet and single origin coffees.
Store 24, a major East Coast convenience store chain, offers Green Mountain Roasters gourmet coffee in all of their stores.
7-11, national convenience store chain, has made the gourmet coffee bar a central part of their new store design, and offers a wide variety of ready-to-go coffee for consumers on the run.

Another factor in the increase of gourmet coffee drinking is the popularity of single serve coffee systems, which make it easier to have gourmet coffee at home every morning. The Senseo, Tassimo and Keurig systems have all increased sales and feature gourmet coffees in their coffee lines. Here are some more highlights form the report:

Adults 25-59 led the upswing with 19% of daily gourmet coffee drinkers. This is an increase of six percentage points from 2007.

In the young adult demographic, coffee drinking was down last year in that age group; with 44 percent reporting that they drink coffee as opposed to 47 percent the previous year.

On the other hand, 18 to 24 year olds are becoming serious coffee drinkers. In 2005, only 26 percent of young adults in that age bracket considered themselves coffee drinkers. By 2007, that figure was up to 37%, making the 18-24 year old coffee market the fastest growing segment of the market. Older adults, in the 40 to 59 year old bracket, are also big coffee drinkers. This age group increased from 59 percent to 61 percent over the previous year, and those age 60 and over report the most coffee consumers – 74 percent of adults in that age bracket reported that they drink coffee every day.

Consumption of cups per day by consumers age 18-24 continued to trend higher in 2008. Young adults who drank coffee consumed an average of 3.2 cups per day as compared with 3.1 in 2007, a significant increase over 2005′s level of 2.5 cups per day.

Our generation grew up thinking of coffee as a morning pick-me-up and after dinner drink for adults only. The 18-24 year old group has a different view of coffee, thanks to the coffee shop culture. Where older generations gathered at the local soda shop, these kids made the local coffee shop their afternoon hangout. Starbucks and other local chains improved their coffees with flavors, sugar and many creams. This makes their coffee more appealing to the younger crowd. As those kids graduate from high school and move on to college, they’re finding that their love of coffee moves along with them.

Past year consumption of iced and frozen coffee is up significantly from 2007 levels.
Maybe it’s the heavy marketing? Nothing tastes quite as good on a hot summer afternoon as a tall glass of iced coffee, but until the past few years, who knew? These days you can get your iced coffee fix at your local McDonalds, Burger King or Dunkin Donuts, or you can brew it yourself at home. The most popular frozen and iced coffee drinks include:
Dunkin Donuts, who claim that they practically invented iced coffee, has been selling their coffee over ice for years. In the late 90s, they added the Coffee Coolata, which could be topped with whipped cream.

Wawa, a popular convenience store located throughout portions of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia is a popular location for coffee enthusiasts in these east coast states. They have sold over 195 million cups of their freshly brewed coffee. Wawa uses their own blend of coffee beans and make quality coffee a top priority.

All of these coffee trends show that coffee is a popular drink among many age groups and is part of American culture. Over the years, these trends change while coffee is introduced to new demographics. Overall, Americans enjoy coffee daily and everybody has their favorite location to get their coffee fix.
