Many of us find that throughout the year, there are no shortages of gift-giving occasions. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, weddings and graduations are just a few we can mention. The number of events and occasions can leave us scratching our heads for suitable gift ideas. One gift idea that is almost universally welcomed is an espresso coffee set. When you consider that billions of people enjoy coffee on a daily basis, a coffee set is the most elegant, chic, and trendy expression of every man’s idea of haute couture coffee. The demitasse espresso cup automatically imbues that cup of robust Joe with delicacy at the meal’s end, as well as a bit of romance with the variety of designs available, this specialty coffee set comes as close to the perfect gift as you can hope.

If you think that finding such a gem of a gift might be difficult, think again. A few minutes of searching online will quickly prove this is not the case. Whether you’re looking for an espresso coffee set to please Mom, Dad, your Grandparents, or your niece just graduating from college, you’ll find the perfect coffee set that is just to their liking. Here’s how to go ‘window shopping’ for espresso machines online.

Do a Google image search with ‘Italian espresso coffee set’ as your criterion. Set up your search to accommodate the types of design which most likely please your recipient. For example, you might begin with ‘French’, ‘antique’, ‘Art Nouveau’, or any other style. In each case, you’ll be flooded with thousands of results you can peruse. As you find image you think are especially appealing, click through to that page to check out more detailed images, pricing, availability and shipping information. Bookmark those pages so that you can later narrow down your choices to the best of the best. Be sure to check out auction sites, such as eBay, where you can find some excellent, one-of-a-kind espresso coffee sets.

Once you’ve located that perfect coffee set, you’ll want to make your fit all the more fabulous with several sample-sized bags of coffee, ground to an espresso fineness. A grind which is appropriate to an electric coffee maker won’t do. The extra-fine grind of espresso is what gives your cup of espresso that rich, somewhat heavy taste and texture that goes so perfectly with that dainty cup of coffee, meant to be a stand-alone beverage, enjoyed as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or accompanied by a petite dessert at meal’s end. Pack up your coffee set in bubble wrap surrounded by a variety of exotic coffees, in a sturdy shallow basket, which can be used by your recipient to serve biscotti or elegant pastries, alongside a steaming cup of espresso.

You can see that an espresso coffee set gift is the perfect gift indeed. So much so, that you may want to order more than one set. It’s been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so you needn’t worry that your recipient will be offended seeing his or her coffee set at your own table! It’s merely a demonstration of love and good taste.
