Adda Coffee & Tea For Gifts For Coffee Lovers /Coffee Gifts

Reviews · 

Disclamer: This is a blog post written by me on behalf of  a partnership  between their agency, Nakturnal, and my blog, NOT Adda and my blog.

Everyone knows I cannot start my day without coffee and end my day with tea. Because of this, I know exactly what a great cup of coffee is. Something that is soothing and energizing. I will be the first to admit that I have tried probably every type of coffee from grocery store, specialty stores to local coffee trade shops. This is how I found that medium works very well for me.

When you shop for coffee at these local coffee stores, They usually not only offer coffee but Gifts For Coffee Lovers /Coffee Gifts. When I think of coffee gifts, I think of presents. I think of coffee gifts because they make awesome presents to any of the coffee lovers on my gift list. I love to see the smiles on their face when they open their gifts and find that they received coffee mugs, ground coffee/coffee beans or even some swag from their favorite coffee place purchase from these coffee sites as they always seem to offer such wonderful options. I, myself have bought everything from t shirts to pictures to glass ware to coffee mugs to even coffee. These keepsakes will leave a lasting impression. I do know that I have become a very intuitive gift giver. I think knowing what the person/people like makes it easy to shop for what they want without them saying what they would like. A coffee store/shop that offers a wide array of gifts/swag actually does the hard work for you. Most of the time they even offer awesome sales or discounts that make their prices very comparable. I want to say how these smaller locally owned coffee shops I have found sometimes offer the best array of coffee/tea gifts for yourself or someone you know that would love them. The U.S. ranks 25th in the world for coffee consumption and that is a lot of coffee. You owe it to yourself to check out these sites.

Chef Coat, Apron & Coffee #Giveaway{ends 3/5}

giveaway · 

Welcome To Our Chef Coat, Apron & Coffee Giveaway~

Many of you who are reading this know a family member, friend or daughter of a friend who is involved in the culinary arts and this is a giveaway you might want to enter!

Since 1989 Crooked Brook has designed and manufactured chef coats and aprons for the world’s most recognized chefs. All Crooked Brook branded garments and accessories are made to order in the USA, and can be personalized with your choice of fabric, pockets, buttons, piping and embroidery.

Although all Crooked Brook chef coats and aprons are made to order, they have various styles and sizes that were not made according to the customer’s specifications or it may have a slight imperfection. These are the aprons, men’s and women’s chef coats that Crooked Brook is offering as giveaways.

Crooked Brook chef jacket prices start at $85 and go up to well over $200, and with some of the ones we are giving away, there is absolutely nothing wrong other than it is not what the customer ordered.

For example; a size 16 chef jacket was made instead of a size 6, the pocket placement is on the left chest instead of the left shoulder or a red jacket with black piping was made instead of a black jacket with red piping.

In the case of the size 14 women’s chef jacket for this giveaway: there are no irregularities and there are enough seams so that it can be opened up and altered for more of a custom fit. For questions regarding size, please refer to Crooked Brook’s size chart or contact them at 315-733-1992.

While offering specific sized chef coats may appear to be a negative, it is not much of an issue since each chef coat giveaway will feature a different size and style.

My Review/Thoughts~

I love trying all kinds of coffee. Not to light and not to dark. Something medium- right in the middle. I even like flavored coffee….like once a year. If I want flavored coffee, They have creamers that have come in all sorts of flavors. The Trade Coffee Subscription  Service is sure not to disappoint. The smell and flavors of the beans were simply out of this world. As I ground the beans, It immediately filled the room with a wonderful fragrance. Now, All there was to do is brew the coffee. Let me tell you, The taste sure did not disappoint. It was nutty followed by an under tone of coffee/caramel flavor. I could not have been more pleased with the Trade Coffee Subscription Service. I choose the Summer Blend Coffee to review. This blend was sure not to disappoint. The crisp and bright flavor left me filling fulfilled. Being most Ethiopian coffees are in season during the Summer, I fell the name, Summer Blend, Is the perfect name and represents it very well. You owe it to yourself to pick your blend. I guarantee you will not be sorry for trying this.

I give the Trade Coffee Subscription Service my highest recommendation and my thumbs up.

Coastal Brew Coffee Grinder #Review & #Giveaway{ends 2/27}

giveaway, Reviews · 

~I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for or a discounted price. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

Do you use coffee beans? And how do you grind those beans? My SIL once gave us 4 bags of coffee but they were beans and we had to give it back. In my home we always just used ground coffee as I never owned a grinder but that was until the opportunity came about to review the Coastal Brew Coffee Grinder.

About The Coastal Brew Coffee Grinder~

  • STAINLESS STEEL BODY for easy cleaning. Ultra Ceramic Burr for smooth, even grinding. Make Coffee the old fashioned way with your Hand.
  • ADJUSTABLE GRIND selector with fully adjustable settings to ensure grind is to your specification. Allows for perfect fine grind for all types of coffee: Turkish, Espresso, Latte, Macchiato, French Press, Chemex, Cold Brew, Percolator, AeroPress, even spices.

  • SMALL AND COMPACT, great for travel and camping. So quiet you can use it in the same room as others without waking them. Manual coffee grinder has no cords or need for power.

My Thoughts/Review~

Now that I own the Coastal Brew Coffee Grinder, I know what I have been missing. I have been missing just how fresh it tastes, Just how more aromatic it is and just how much more flavorful my coffee is. In no time at all, I can have freshly ground coffee everyday because it literally takes no effort to grind the beans. I now do not buy ground coffee but rather I buy coffee beans. If you think that a Non Electric Coffee Grinder is to much trouble because you have to do the grinding yourself, You are so wrong. I have very little strength in my arms and all it takes is less than a minute and you are done!

I give the  Coastal Brew Coffee Grinder my thumbs up and I highly recommend it. You can go HERE to buy one for your very own but you can also enter below to win one~

This giveaway is live and will end 2/26.
