Coffee Gift Sets That Don't Suck: The Ultimate 787 Coffee Gift Guide
Let’s Connect on Social
Hello Caffeinated Humans!
Let's be honest: most coffee gifts are terrible.
You've seen them. The generic gift basket with stale beans from who-knows-when. The "coffee lover" mug with a cheesy quote. The instant coffee sampler that tastes like disappointment.
Your coffee-loving friend deserves better.
At 787 Coffee, we've spent years perfecting the art of gifting coffee—because we know that when you give someone fresh, single-origin Puerto Rican coffee from our farm, you're not just giving them a drink. You're giving them an experience. A story. A moment.
Whether you're shopping for the holidays, a birthday, a thank-you gift, or just because—this guide has everything you need to find the perfect coffee gift that will actually make someone's day. Support latin american coffee. We own our own coffee farm and we also collaborate with local Puerto Rican, Mexican and Colombian coffee farms.
Let's do this!
Why Coffee Makes The Perfect Gift (When Done Right)
Coffee is personal. It's the first thing many humans reach for in the morning. It's their ritual, their comfort, their fuel.
But here's the thing: Bad coffee is forgettable. GREAT coffee? That's memorable.
When you give someone 787 Coffee, you're giving them:
✅ Fresh beans roasted within days (not months)
✅ Single-origin quality from our Puerto Rican farm
✅ A story they can taste (from our farm in Maricao to their cup)
✅ Something they'll actually use (unlike another candle)
Plus, coffee gifts work for literally everyone:
Your boss who runs on caffeine
Your friend who "literally can't function" without coffee
Your mom who deserves a break from grocery store beans
Your partner who needs a pick-me-up
Your coworker who's always at their desk with a mug
Ready to find the perfect gift? Let's break it down.

How to Make Your Coffee Gift Extra Special
Want to go from good gift to GREAT gift? Try these:
1. Add a Personal Note
Write WHY you chose 787 Coffee:
"This coffee is from a Puerto Rican farm that survived Hurricane Maria"
"These beans were roasted THIS WEEK so you get maximum freshness"
"This is the coffee that fuels my mornings—wanted you to try it"
"Thought you'd love the story behind this brand"
2. Pair Coffee With An Experience
Coffee beans + a coffee shop visit together
Coffee + a breakfast date
Coffee + a book (cozy morning combo)
Coffee + a handmade mug
3. Include Brewing Instructions
Not everyone knows how to brew properly. Include:
Best brewing method for that bean
Coffee-to-water ratio (1:16 is a good start)
Water temperature (195-205°F)
Link to our home brewing guide blog
4. Make It A Subscription Surprise
Instead of giving coffee once, give it monthly! Set up a subscription in their name and let them know fresh coffee will arrive every month for X months. It's the gift that keeps giving.
Why 787 Coffee Gifts Are Different
There are a million places to buy coffee gifts. Here's why ours matter:
We Grow Our Own Coffee
Most coffee companies buy beans from farms. We OWN the farm. Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao, Puerto Rico is where our coffee starts. When you give 787 Coffee, you're giving something truly farm-to-cup.
Freshness You Can Taste
We roast multiple times per week in small batches. Your gift arrives within DAYS of roasting—not months. Fresh coffee tastes completely different (sweeter, more complex, no bitterness).
You're Supporting Real People
When you buy 787 Coffee, you support:
Puerto Rican farmers and their families
Our baristas across NYC, Texas, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico
The Maricao community that depends on our farm
A Latino-owned business building an empire
Every Gift Tells A Story
Our coffee survived Hurricane Maria. Our founders refused to compromise quality even when it meant closing shops temporarily. Every bag carries resilience, passion, and Puerto Rican pride.
That's not just coffee. That's a story worth sharing.
