As Seen at Starbucks

Posted in Barware, Coffee, Crystal and Glass, Gifts under $40, Style Watch at 4:46 am by Deb Savvy

I was at Starbucks today.  Well, technically I was also there yesterday.  And most likely the day before.  That’s what happens when I’m on the road.  But feeding my daily habit is not the point of the story.  The point of the story is that I found something pretty cool at x today while I was waiting for my venti iced blended red-eye.

Bodum 3-pc. Chambord Coffee Press Gift Set

The Bodum 3-pc. Chambord Coffee Press Gift Set includes the original 34-oz. version of the Chambord press plus two 12-oz. Pavina double wall glasses for only $39.95. The Bodum Chambord is the original French press, an award winner of the American Culinary Institute’s Gold Medal for two years straight. The Pavina highball glass is the winner of the European iF Design Award. This set consists of two highball glasses, each one with a 12-ounce capacity. Mouth-blown, the highball glasses are double-walled which help insulates hot or cold beverages. With this unique design, your beverage appears to float inside the inner layer of clear glass. The press easily serves four and has all the favorite features: a polished stainless lid and holder, wide black handle and knob that stay cool, and a durable glass carafe. To use, simply spoon-in the ground coffee of your choice, fill with boiling water to the desired level and plunge the press firmly against the grounds. Wait a few minutes then enjoy fresh coffee!

There’s just something about French press coffee.  Fresh,  Delicious.  Just a little bit different.  And it adds a nice touch of ritual when you sit down to a cup of coffee.

Caribou Cravings

Posted in Business Gifts, Coffee, Hostess Gifts, Housewarming Gifts, Thank You Gifts at 2:59 am by Deb Savvy

I was lucky enough to receive some Caribou Coffee as a hostess gift and I’ve been sampling these divine brews over the last few days. Wow. This is some seriously great coffee.

Caribou Coffee Company

So far my favorites are the Kenya AA, the La Minita Peaberry and the Roastmaster’s Reserve Brazil Poco Fundo – and I’ve still got a few more left to sample. We used to have Caribou cafes here in Chicago, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen one. I had forgotten how much I love this coffee.

Coffee is a great idea as a hostess or housewarming gift.  Also great as a thank you gift – especially for colleagues and business associates.

The Easiest Possible Thank You Gift

Posted in Coffee, Gift Cards, Gifts under $25, Thank You Gifts at 7:45 pm by Deb Savvy

I recently referred a friend to a contractor who had done some work in my house several times over the years. It was the kind of question you answer for friends without giving a second thought – who do you use for…. Anyway, a couple of days later I received I lovely handwritten thank you note. I was impressed. And then I was pleasantly surprised. As I picked up the envelope to toss it into the trash I noticed that it felt a bit thick and heavy. I checked inside and what did I find?

StarbucksStore.com

A Starbucks card! How great is that? It’s the perfect thank you gift. Practical. Disposable. Consumable After all, even if you’re not a daily visitor – we all go there occasionally and my next few lattes are going to be on Mr. C! Love that!

Hop on the Espresso Express

Posted in Coffee at 10:48 pm by Deb Savvy

When you need a serious pick me up, nothing beats the bold jolt of a shot of espresso (or four). I’m a big fan of latte with two extra shots – also known as the ‘double red eye’. A dear friend of mine swears by his daily regime of three quad espressos. And there’s always the oh-so-civilised espresso and a small square of dark chocolate in the mid-afternoon or at the end of a fabulous meal. Espresso is everywhere these days – as it should be.

I drink espresso when I’m out, of course. But for nearly 20 years now, I’ve been an espresso at home girl, too. I just can’t fathom running out anytime I want a wonderful shot of serious brew. Espresso is my way of life. Unless I’m having guests or just in a particular mood, I rarely brew a pot of automatic drip coffee. It’s pretty much all espresso all the time at my house. And when it comes to shopping for supplies and accessories for the espresso way of life, all you need to do to hop on espresso express is enter the espresso zone at DEAN & DELUCA . And it doesn’t stop at espresso, either. They’re a one-stop source for gourmet coffee and espresso products from all over the world.
