The Perfect Accessories

If you're looking for accessories for your coffee gift basket, make sure to include a coffee mug. Coffee mugs prevent you from burning yourself while drinking your favorite hot cup of coffee. Coffee mugs can be custom made by personalizing them, get them in different colors and decorate them with designs and/or logos.

When getting a coffee mug for your gift basket, think about what type of material used to make them. It makes a difference on what kind of mug you get to accessorize the gift basket. Coffee mugs can be made out of glass, stainless steel, plastic and porcelain. Stainless steel lids are a good choice because they have a plastic lid to prevent spills. Porcelain mugs hold in the heat, but they are not designed with spill resistant lids or any type of lid, for that matter. You can also have decorated porcelain mugs to accessorize your coffee gift basket, but you can only use them in places like the office and at home. They are not suitable for road traveling.

With a gift basket, you must figure in what size mug would fit comfortably. Coffee mugs are produced from 12 to 20 ounces. You can choose a 12 ounce porcelain mug or a large traveling mug that holds more. For the large traveling mug, you may want to have that in a separate pouch. A pouch made of velveteen material would compliment it. The mug should be of good quality and durable. You don't want to drink coffee and then all of a sudden, the mug cracks or the handle breaks from using a cheap one.

You can have your company logo put on the mugs for promotional purposes. This is a subtle, but effective way to get your name out there to more people. In turn, you may get more clients for your business. If your clients like your work, why wouldn't they want to show you off!

Another accessory that would go good with a coffee gift basket for a client would be an espresso machine. An espresso machine is very handy to have if you want to make espresso, cappuccino and latte coffee in an instant. You can make these drinks at a cheaper price than you would if you went to one of the coffee shops.

You would have to determine what kind of coffee machine to get. Your client may want something simple without the frills and or one with advanced features, such as piston machines, pumps, stovetop, automatic, semiautomatic and superautomatic functions. The prices vary according to how advance the espresso machine is.

The automatic espresso machines have a pre-programmed single and double shot function. They also come in different sizes. Superautomatic machines offer the one-click coffee bean grind function. This kind also grinds the beans, packs the grinds and produces the espresso coffee in one shot.

Stovetop machines are as indicated in the name of the machine. The coffee beans sit at the bottom of the machine and the coffee drink is at the top. If you purchase them online, check out the prices and quality. You can probably get a better deal online. Your clients will appreciate your thoughtfulness for picking out a gift they can use..
