Coffee as a gift: ideas for coffee lovers, teams and clients

A good gift gets used and reminds people of who gave it. Coffee does both: it is enjoyed every day, and every cup is a reminder of you. With genuine Italian espresso, gold-medal winning at that, you get it right with coffee lovers, your team and your clients. Here are ideas on which blend suits whom and how to use coffee as a corporate gift.

Why coffee makes a good gift

Coffee is a gift almost nobody turns down and that never gathers dust. It becomes even better when the story is right: Dersut has been roasting in Conegliano near Venice since 1947, and two of its blends won the Gold Medal at the International Coffee Tasting 2025. That is much more than any coffee off the shelf.

Whole beans in a 1 kg pack last for weeks and suit bean-to-cup machines, portafilter machines and moka pots, so the recipient does not need to buy anything new.

Which blend suits whom?

Choose the blend according to the recipient’s taste:

  • For connoisseurs who drink espresso straight: Non Plus Ultra, 100 % Arabica, Gold Medal 2025
  • For those who like it round and sweet, straight or with milk: Plus Oro, also Gold Medal 2025
  • For cappuccino fans and bean-to-cup machines: Optimum Rosso with cocoa notes and dense crema
  • For lovers of strong espresso: Domus Marrone with intensity 5 of 5

Gift set ideas

A duo makes a gift special: the “gold duo” of Non Plus Ultra and Plus Oro brings together both award-winning blends for CHF 74.80. The curious will love a discovery set with all four blends for CHF 131.60, with free shipping from CHF 100.–

Add a small card with a brewing tip, for example from our guides How to make espresso or How to make cappuccino. That turns coffee into a personal gift.

Coffee as a gift for employees and clients

At the end of the year, for a company anniversary or as thanks for good cooperation: coffee is a corporate gift that gets used every day and suits almost everyone. Award-winning Italian espresso beans show appreciation without being pushy.

For individual gifts, order directly in the shop. For larger quantities for your team or clients, we are happy to prepare a quote with volume prices. Ask on our companies & office page and allow some lead time before the holidays.

Making sure the gift arrives fresh

Coffee beans keep for a long time in their sealed original pack. Until you hand them over, store the packs somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from spices and strong-smelling food. Once opened, a pack is best used within a few weeks.

We ship throughout Switzerland by post, free from CHF 100.–, otherwise for CHF 9.–
