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!
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.

We’re big fans of Harry & David for gifting, and the brand’s coffee doesn’t disappoint. Editor Mary Henn, who tried a Harry & David coffee box, notes that it’s a great gift for coffee fans. You can pick from upwards of 10 different flavors, including holiday blends like Christmas and dark chocolate candy cane, decaf and even K-cups.

If you want to make your own coffee gift basket, you can add in some coffee or espresso grounds, a mug, chocolate-covered coffee beans and baked goods.
To choose a coffee basket, you should think about the person you’re getting it for. What are their coffee preferences? Do they order lattes more than regular coffee? Are they always crafting new caffeinated beverages at home? Once you have that in mind, you can pick a basket that fits their palette and coffee habits.
No, not at all! Most coffee baskets contain different blends, beans and flavors. Some even come with yummy add-ons like cookies and coffee cakes.
Besides a coffee gift basket, you can also give coffee lovers a fun coffee scoop, a coffee bean grinder, a Moka pot or mugs.
Regardless of the time of day, meal or season, we here at Taste of Home will always find an excuse to enjoy a delicious caffeinated beverage. We have hundreds of coffee recipes to prove it, and we’ve tested tons of at-home coffee products to get you there. From coffee subscriptions to coffee grinders, we’re dedicated to helping you make the yummiest (and perkiest) cup of Joe.
