DIY Coffee Lovers Gift Basket Ideas With More Than 39 Tasty Customization Options

The hardest part about putting together a DIY coffee basket for a raffle or to be given away as a gift is deciding on what style of coffee to include. Other than that, it’s super easy and your raffle winner or gift recipient will absolutely love what you created for them.

When deciding on what style of coffee to include in your homemade coffee-themed basket, you’ll need to first decide if you are going to include whole roasted coffee beans, ground coffee, or K cups. K cups are used primarily by people who use Keurig machines to brew their morning wakeup juice. If you are unsure which route to take, go with the ground coffee, as everyone usually has a system for brewing that. However, if you plan to include a small coffee grinder in the basket, then you should go with the whole beans. Next, you’ll need to decide if you are going to include coffee that is caffeinated, decaffeinated, or a combination of both. And finally, you’ll need to decide on the coffee roast. Your choices are light roast, medium roast, dark roast, or espresso roast. Most people (and true coffee aficionados) prefer dark roast or medium roast for their daily coffee. If you want to play it safe, go with a combination of medium and dark roast coffee. We also recommend that you stick with caffeinated coffee, as most will prefer it over decaf. Be sure to go with quality specialty blends.
