What goes well with a coffee gift?
A gift that is centred around coffee, whether that be a coffee machine or coffee beans, can be accompanied by practical accessories to aid the process of coffee-making. Food, especially baked goods like cookies and biscuits, are also great additions to a coffee-based gift.
The best thing that goes well with a coffee gift, is, of course, more coffee!
