2011 Holiday Gift Guide: Coffee Mugs And Travelers

Mike — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:00:41 +0000

Up until recently I didn’t think it was possible to have too many coffee mugs. Now, I’ll admit that it is possible when you have coffee mugs taking up more space in your cabinets than the dishes. However, I still wouldn’t mind getting another coffee mug or two for Christmas, and I have a feeling that the coffee lover on your shopping list wouldn’t mind one either.

Here’s a traveler that’s on my wishlist this year! I have probably about a dozen travelers, but the majority are junk because they either leak or fall apart after a week or two. The Contigo 16-Ounce Double Wall Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler promises to be spill proof and keep your coffee hot for hours.

On sale at Amazon for $13.67.

Here’s a great gift for someone that is serious about enjoying their cup of coffee. This set of Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated Glass Mugs doesn’t just look cool, but they have a purpose too. They will keep their coffee hot while protecting your skin from the heat, plus it allows them to look at the color of their java. Believe it or not, but you can tell a lot from the color of the coffee.

More than 50% off at Amazon right now. Buy for $22.99.

If they’re a big sports fan, it doesn’t hurt to get them a mug with the logo of their favorite team? Can I suggest that you get them a mug like this New York Yankees one. Sports fans from all over the country, especially Boston would love it!

Buy for $27.99 at Amazon. Amazon does sell other teams and other sports, but it will make me cry if you buy one of them.

New Orleans Saints Superbowl Championship Coffee Mugs

Mike — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:19:00 +0000

No one thought that the New Orleans Saints could do it, but they upset Peyton Manning and the Colts to bring the Lombardi Trophy to New Orleans. I’d love to go to New Orleans to help them celebrate, but that isn’t going to happen, so I thought I would share with you the Superbowl Championship coffee mugs.

Uncommon Coffee Products at Uncommon Goods

Mike — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:48:47 +0000

Coffee bean cuff links? Lap and knee mugs? What?

While researching the Holiday Gift Guides, I came across some rather unusual coffee products, but nothing that compares to what I saw at Uncommon Goods. I’ve come across some great gifts there, but that’s the first time that I’ve spotted any coffee related items there.

I know that for most people, the holiday shopping season is probably over, but I couldn’t wait until next year to share them with you.

What’s the most unique coffee item that you’ve come across?

Coffee Bean Cuff Links

I don’t wear cuff links often, but I do have a couple of cuff link shirts and I’m certain that these would look amazing on me. I’m just saying.

These coffee bean cufflinks are made from the molds of real coffee beans cast in solid sterling silver. An artist named Amy Pfaffman specializes in turning everyday objects into functional art and these coffee bean cufflinks are the perfect way to enjoy that morning tradition all day long.

Knee And Lap Coffee Mugs

These aren’t your average, every day coffee mugs and don’t even think about trying to rest it on the table. Resist the urge to live dangerously!

Turn that underutilized lap or knee into a cup holder with the help of these cleverly designed ceramic nestling mugs. Perfect for cozy couches, comfy chairs and messy desks – when a resting place for your drink is nowhere in sight.

As an added bonus, they have a couple of coffee treats.

The Roboostas is robusta coffee mixed with chocolate and the Java Rocks is finely ground coffee mixed with cocoa. I think both would satisfy my sweet tooth.

Must Have Coffee Gifts

Mike — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:05:38 +0000

Since today is Cyber Monday, the biggest online shopping day of the year, I thought I would share with you some of the coffee gifts that that every coffee drinker needs to have in their kitchen. I’ve been asked a few times what to get a coffee drinker for Christmas, and this is the list of gifts that I would recommend.

1. French Press
If they don’t have a french press, this is what you should get them. Knock up the quality of their coffee a couple of notches with a french press. Nothing brings out the flavor of a coffee bean like a french press. Plus, they look pretty cool! I’m just saying.

Bodum Chambord 8-Cup Coffee Press
On sale for $35.50. Normally $54.00
My Review. Amazon’s Review.

Brews 32 ounces of coffee; retains beans’ oils for rich, complex flavor
Sturdy, chrome-plated brass frame; easy-to-clean glass carafe
Stainless-steel press mechanism; replacement parts available
Turn lid to close spout; not for stovetop use
All parts are dishwasher-safe

2. Coffee Grinder
To get the freshest tasting coffee, they’re going to need a coffee grinder. You could buy the most expensive ground coffee for them and it’s still not going to compare to freshly ground coffee from their own coffee grinder. Coffee starts to lose it’s flavor within 15 minutes of being ground. How long do you think that coffee was sitting on that shelf at the store before you bought it?

Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinders
Buy for $89.00 at Amazon. Normally $120
Amazon Reviews

100-watt conical burr grinder with 16 grind settings
Commercial-grade conical burrs ensure maximum coffee flavor
Bean container holds 8-1/2 ounces; grounds container holds 4 ounces
Heavy-duty zinc die-cast housing; built-in timer; easy to clean
Measures 7-2/3 by 5-2/5 by 10-4/5 inches; 1-year limited warranty

3. Place To Store Your Coffee
Coffee bags may look cool, but they’re not the best way to store your coffee. Nothing keeps coffee fresher than an airtight container that keeps it cool, dry and out of the sunlight.

Vacu Vin Coffee Saver Starter Set
Buy for $22.93 at Amazon
Reviews

Holds over a pound of coffee
Smoked exterior protects the coffee from the harmful effects of light
Suitable for saving foods such as cookies, cereals, chips, and nuts
Larger pump pulls air out faster
Dishwasher safe

4. Coffee Mug
You can never have too many coffee cups. Nothing beats a hot cup of coffee in their favorite mug. Why not get them a special mug, something that is meaningful to them.

New York Yankees 27th Championship Coffee Mug
$14.99 at Amazon.

I may be a little bit biased on this one. You don’t actually have to buy a Yankees mug for every coffee fan, but if you want to buy a Yankee mug for a Red Sox fan, I wouldn’t stop you.

5. Travel Mug
For when they can’t sit at home, relax and enjoy their coffee. Just make sure to pick a mug that fits in standard sized car cup holders or it kind of defeats the purpose.

Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Leak-Proof Insulated Travel Mug
$18.58 at Amazon. Normally $39.99
Reviews

Keeps beverages hot for 1 hour or cold for several hours
Fits most vehicle drink-holders (2-3/4-inch bottom)
Lightweight and virtually unbreakable
Stopper twists tight to prevent leakage
Soft rubber inset inside handle for comfort

Have any other suggestions for must have coffee gifts?

More New York Yankees 2009 World Series Champions Coffee Mugs And Cups

Mike — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:00:31 +0000

I’m still pretty much speechless. The Yankees winning the world series still doesn’t seem real to me, even though it’s almost been twenty-four hours. I like the coffee mugs that I posted last night, but I came across a couple more that I would share, because is there really a better way to celebrate the Yankees 27th Championship than with a mug or coffee cup to commemorate it.

Don’t worry, non-New York Yankee fans…the blog will be strictly coffee again soon.

Yankees Coffee Cups And Mugs

Mike — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:25:24 +0000

I swear that today’s post isn’t because the Yankees are on a roll, looking like they could take it all this year. The real reason that I’m doing this post is because there’s been a lot of searches for Yankee coffee cups and mugs. I’ve posted some in the past, thought it wouldn’t hurt to post a few more.

If anyone was curious, any of these would be appropriate for my birthday next week.
